Cherish (珍惜) now no longer missed
John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique zither (齊特琴) and played it in the crowded subway station. The music coming from the zither was delicately（優(yōu)美地）streaming throughout the whole   . However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly   the charming music. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a   , one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely   to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply   for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such valuable but   music feast.
I have a very   friend who had totally changed after     that his wife came down with an acute (嚴(yán)重的) illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless（但是）, his wife still did not     to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had     a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is   to make up for it.
It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have    a lot of precious things in our life without knowing how to   them. Actually, I also missed something   before. The reason is simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually   reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk (修道士) saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and   . The result is that they were always too late to cherish     they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we   , or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the   , we could no longer realize our   , because we have lost it by then.

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six - year – old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course.” she said.“Can we write him a letter?”
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”My heart jumped. “How? Does the mailman go there?” I asked.
“No, but I have an idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.“Just wait, honey. You’ll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six - year - old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went out-side and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.“Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three.”The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he’d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on. I prayed to be a balloon.

“You can keep the   flowing,” NEC market development official Takayuki Omino told reporters at Tokyo exposition (展覽會(huì))   the device was on display. “This could also be used for talks     with secret information,” says Omino, stating that there would be no      for translators.
Each user’s   words would be   by microphone, translated, and be instantly   for conversation partners in   visual text and as audio delivered through headphones.
Users can still see their conversation partner’s face because the text is   onto only part of the retina—the first time such technology is used in a commercial product, according to NEC.
The company plans to put the Tele Scouter in Japan in November next year,    at the beginning without the translation mode.

John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.
I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.
It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.
Actually, I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then.
小題1:The reason why people often regret may be that _______.
A．they are too busy to notice the beautiful things

A．a(chǎn)ctions speak louder than words

小題3:What method does the author employ to support his opinion？
A．By listing data.B．By comparing the details .
C．By explaining the procedures .D．By taking examples.
小題4:How do we understand the underlined parts “waiting and regretting”?

C．Many people know what they are doing.
