16、案(IV)Once upon a time, there was a master who went to India. In those times, people didnt have the munications or airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India on foot. He had never been to India before; perhaps he came from Persia. And when he got there, he s

17、aw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive because they cant grow much due to the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all. So he went up and asked, How

18、much per kilo? And the shopkeeper said, Two rupees. Two rupees in India is nothing; its like dirt. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning an

19、d his face became red. As he coughed and choked and gasped for breath, he jumped up and down, saying, Ah! Ah! Ah! But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, Youre crazy, man. Those are chilies! You cant eat so many; theyre not good for yo

20、u! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You cant just eat them by the handful like that; theyre not fruit! So the stupid master said, No, I cant stop!

And even though its been a long time, bitter experience tells us it wont work, and we know theres no more hope that things will change in the futurethis we definitely know by int

22、uition we still continue just because weve invested money, time, effort and love into it .If so, were kaput in the brain. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldnt stop because he didnt want to waste the money hed paid. So even if youve lost something, you should let it

23、go and move on. Thats better than continuing to lose.1. Why did the master buy the chilies to eat? A. Because he liked the taste. B. Because they were long and red. C. Because they cost little. D. Because they were delicious fruit.2. What happened after the master ate some of the fruit he bought? A.

24、 He jumped with joy. B. He became very angry. C. He felt terrible. D. He began to cry.3. What is the structure of the passage? A. / B. / C. / D. / 4. The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n)_ .
