A boy thought that he was the most unhappy person in the world. In his opinion, he was 　1　

because almost everything bad always happened to him. So he wanted to find the secret to happiness. He walked a long way and finally came to a 　2　 palace. There, he met the king.

After learning why the boy had come, the king suggested that he should look around the palace and come back in two hours.“At the same time, I want you 　3　 this spoon with milk,”said the king.“As you walk around my palace, carry this spoon without spilling (溢位) the milk.”

The boy 　4　 his eyes fixed on the spoon and began to walk around the golden palace. After two hours, he came back to the king.“Well,”asked the king.“Did you see the wonderful

5　 in my dining hall? Did you see the 　6　 flowers in the garden?”The boy felt sorry because he saw nothing. He only paid attention to the milk.

“Then go back and see the beauty of 　7　 world,”said the king. This time the boy saw all of the 　8　 of art on the walls. He saw the great gardens and mountains all around. When he came back, he described everything he saw.

“But where is the milk?”asked the king. Looking 　9　 at the spoon he held, the boy saw the milk was 　10　.“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,”said the king.“The secret to happiness is to see all the beauty of the world and also keep an eye on the milk on the spoon.”

【回答】

1. unlucky　由下文because almost everything bad always happened to him（因為幾乎所有不好的事情總髮生在他身上）可知，男孩是不幸的，且此處在was後作表語，故此空填形容詞unlucky“不幸的”。

2. beautiful　由下文的描述“餐廳裡牆上美妙的畫，花園裡鮮豔的花兒及四周的山”知此處應表示“美麗的”宮殿，故此空填beauty的形容詞beautiful（美麗的）作定語修飾palace。

3. to hold　由下文carry this spoon without spilling the milk（帶著這個勺子，不要把牛奶溢位來）可知此處應意為“我希望你拿著這個盛有牛奶的勺子”，故此空應用hold；由固定搭配want sb. to do sth.（想要某人做某事）可知*為to hold。

4. kept　由短文最後一句…and also keep an eye on the milk on the spoon.可知此空應用keep；由句中began為過去式可知此空應用keep的過去式kept。

5. paintings　由下文This time the boy saw all of the 　8　 of art on the walls.（這次男孩看到了牆上所有的藝術品。）可知本句句意應為“你看到我餐廳里美妙的繪畫了嗎？”，故此空填paint的名詞複數形式paintings（繪畫）。

6. colorful　由常識知花兒是“鮮豔的”，故此空應填color的形容詞colorful，修飾後面的名詞flowers。

7. my　由上文Did you see the wonderful 　5　 in my dining hall?可知宮殿是國王自己的，故此處意為“然後回去看看我的世界的美麗”。故此空應填I的形容詞*物主代詞my。

8. works  由上文知在宮殿餐廳的牆上有繪畫，故此句意為“這次男孩看到了牆上所有的藝術作品”。work可用作可數名詞，意為“作品”；由句中的all（所有的）可知此空應用work的複數形式works。

9. down　此處意為“低頭看他手裡拿的勺子”，look down at意為“俯視”，故*為down。

10. gone　由上文“這次男孩看到了牆上所有的藝術作品。他看到了很棒的花園和四周的山”可知男孩忽視了手裡裝有牛奶的勺子，故句意為“低頭看手裡拿著的勺子，男孩看到牛奶沒了”；be gone意為“沒有”，故*為gone。
