Question

Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly.  It admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with grasses. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. It put the found piece into itself and began to roll. Now it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses. When it rolled so quickly, it realized how different the world seemed. Then it stopped, left the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The lesson of the story , I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything isn’t in some ways a whole man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn(渴望), to hope, to come true the dream of something better.

【主旨大意】：通過一個圓丟了一個楔子的故事，說明了一個人失去了某樣東西并不一定是壞事，他將還是一樣完美。

1. 細節理解題。 圓滾不快，是因為失去了一個楔子。

2.細節理解題。從Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly.可以看出它沒有找到它自己的那一塊。而是在路邊撿的。

3.細節理解題。從it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses可知答案是對的。

4. 細節理解題。從Then it stopped, left the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away可知本題錯誤。

5.推理判斷題。從全文知道人盡管失去了某樣東西，在某種程度上來說還是完美的。
