Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly.  It admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with grasses. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. It put the found piece into itself and began to roll. Now it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses. When it rolled so quickly, it realized how different the world seemed. Then it stopped, left the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The lesson of the story , I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything isn’t in some ways a whole man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn(渴望), to hope, to come true the dream of something better.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷句子正(T)誤(F)。 (共5小題,每小題2分,滿分10分)
【小題1】 At first, the circle couldn’t roll fast, because it wanted to chat with the grasses.
【小題2】 The circle didn’t find the missing piece at last.
【小題3】 When it was a perfect circle, it rolled too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses.
【小題4】 The circle stopped by the side of the road and enjoyed the sunshine.
【小題5】 In some days, a man still will be perfect even if he misses something.
