course，the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own two years of this sense of

bitter failure，it spoke one day to the water bearer by the stream.

“I am ashamed of myself，and I want to apologize to you.”

“Why？”asked the bearer.“What are you ashamed of？”

“I have been able for these last two years to deliver only half my load，because this crack in

my side causes water to leak out all the way you do not get full value for your

efforts，”the pot explained.

The water bearer，hearing this，said，“As we return to the master's house，I want you to

notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”

As they went up the hill，the cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild

flowers on the side of the path，and this cheered it a little.

The bearer said，“Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path，but

not on the other pot's side? That is because I have known about you，and I took advantage of it.I

planted flower seeds on your side of the path，and every day while we walk back from the stream，you have watered two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate

答案：C 此处表示上述实验所得出的一个结论。

C．For example

B．As a result

D．Instead

答案：B 本句是根据前面的分析而得出的结论；故用B项表示“结果”。

40． class

Should Internet Jargon Be Banned?

At present，Internet jargons，such as BF，CU,3166(bye，Japanese)，are becoming more and

more popular among the teenagers.

There are different opinions on Internet students think some Internet

jargons are vivid，fashionable and full of humor and s，they make it quicker and

more convenient to communicate on the Internet.

However，some other students think Internet language lacks depth of thought and is too

s，some jargons are hard to understand and not accepted by most words

sometimes make people confused, and even result in misunderstanding.

Every coin has two sides. In my opinion，living in the information age，if we know

little about the Internet language，we seem to fall will be OK as long as these terms are

used correctly in proper such situations，as taking exams and doing homework，try

not to use these informal words.
