一、完形填空(10分)
My grandfather was a house painter. In his lifetime, he must have painted hundreds of houses inside and out. It wasn't hard to tell that he loved his 1 as well as his life.
Once, while I was helping Grandpa paint a house, I noticed he was very skilled at giving a wall a quality coat of paint so 2. In fact, while he was painting, he could carry on a(n) 3 with the homeowner, laughing all the time.
At one point, he stopped to watch me. He noticed 4 I dipped (浸) brush in the paint bucket (桶) and carefully wiped (擦) off both sides of the brush in order not to 5 any paint. Then I spread the thin coat of paint on the wall without spilling (溢出) a drop. It was a 6, boring process, but I dared (敢) not laugh or have a kidding for fear of making a mistake.
Finally, he gave me some 7. “Here, watch this,” he said, as he took the brush from my hand and dipped it into the bucket fast. “Don't worry about spills. Treat a wall like you treat people. Be generous and have fun. Always put enough paint on the brush.”
Yes, he did spill a few drops, but I noticed his wall looked much 8 than mine. I also noticed he was having great 9.
Life is not always 10. Some days, we spill few drops; some days, we spill a lot. The only thing that really matters is what the wall looks like and how much fun we have painting it.

### 一、完形填空（10分）
我的祖父是一名房屋油漆工。在他的一生中，他肯定已经粉刷过数百栋房屋的内外墙了。不难看出，他热爱他的**工作**，也热爱他的生活。
有一次，我在帮祖父粉刷一栋房子时，注意到他非常熟练，能**快速**地给墙壁刷上一层高质量的油漆。事实上，在他粉刷的时候，他还能和房主进行一场**交谈**，一直笑着。
有一次，他停下来看我。他注意到我**如何**把刷子浸入油漆桶，然后小心翼翼地擦掉刷子两侧的油漆，以免**浪费**任何油漆。然后我把薄薄的一层油漆涂在墙上，一滴都没有洒出来。这是一个**漫长**、无聊的过程，但我不敢笑，也不敢开玩笑，生怕犯错。
最后，他给了我一些**建议**。“来，看看这个，”他说着，从我手里拿过刷子，快速地把它浸入桶里。“别担心洒出来。对待墙壁就像对待人一样。要慷慨，要享受乐趣。总是在刷子上蘸足够多的油漆。”
是的，他确实洒了几滴，但我注意到他刷的墙看起来比我的**好**得多。我还注意到他玩得很**开心**。
生活并不总是**完美的**。有些日子，我们洒几滴；有些日子，我们洒很多。唯一真正重要的是墙看起来怎么样，以及我们粉刷它时有多开心。
