24、   Once there lived a wise man. His son, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day.

The wise man was worried about his son’s future. One day, he said to his son, “I want you to look for some treasure (财宝). I have drawn a map to help you.” Then he handed his son a bag. Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map.

The son left the next day. He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains. Along the way, he got help from some people with food and also with shelter (住所). He met some robbers (强盗) who tried to rob him. He also saw changing scenery (风景) and seasons.

Finally, after a long year, he got to the place his father said. It took him two days to look and dig for the treasure, but found nothing.

He could only go back to his home. On his way back, he saw the same scenery. Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. He also learned to look for food and make meals. He had to fix his own clothes. He was now able to tell time by looking at where the sun was. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time, he stayed and helped them in order to say thank you.

When he got home, he said sorry to his father for not finding the treasure.

“There wasn’t any treasure, my son,” the father answered with a smile. “But I think you have found your life’s true purpose.”

【3】Which one was TRUE about the son’s journey back home?

25、In China, when you refuse someone, he or she might be described as "吃闭门羹" ("eating a bowl of door-closing thick soup"). What is the story b【1】 this saying?

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty (618– 907), there lived a beautiful woman c【2】 Shi Feng. Many young men wanted to m【3】 her. But Shi was hard to c【4】. She asked her admirers(倾慕者) to show her poems that they had written. She did this to see i【5】 they were talented(有天赋的). If Shi liked someone’s poems, she would a【6】 to meet him. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t meet them. But then, to be p【7】, she would at least give them a bowl of geng (羹) to eat. Geng is a type of thick s【8】. It is usually made with grain, fruit or vegetables.

As time passed, "eating a bowl of thick soup" came to mean "being refused". The dish was also nicknamed "door-closing thick soup", since Shi would not open her door for people who r【9】 the dish.

But there is a twist (意外转折) to this story. "Door-closing thick soup" was said to be so tasty that more people started coming to Shi’s door — not to marry her, but to have a t【10】 of the soup!
