Feeling worried about no satisfying artworks，a young man decided to visit a market known for its talented artists. He hoped to find someone or something to help him show his great 11.
When he was walking through the noisy large outdoor market，he felt that 12 seemed special. He was a little disappointed（失望的）and he was about to leave. Suddenly，his ear caught a 13 sound of drops of water，soft and pleasant to hear，from the other side of an old wooden house. Coming to an open gate，he 14 a young woman sitting in an open yard with all kinds of stone sculptures of wild animals around her. 15 these sculptures were put here and there carelessly，they already showed great value.
Just then the young lady stood up，16 a small hammer out of her pocket，and walked toward a large stone that was placed on a worktable. After a careful 17 of one small area，she hit it—just once—with her hammer. She used so little force（力量），so the young man felt sorry for her timidity（胆怯）. He thought she must be a(n) 18. He hoped to teach her.
Suddenly many small pieces broke away from the stone. He thought she 19 and broke the whole stone into pieces. A moment later he found the stone hadn't been broken by the young lady. 20，its secret character appeared. With only one hit，she not only uncovered a beautiful white material，but also 21 it to look like the beautiful neck of a great swan. He was 22 and watched the stone silently for a few minutes. What magic was this? He expected to know.
“Oh，”she laughed. “I'm guessing you've only been there in the last few minutes. 23 you began watching me，I had had hundreds of 24 small hits to the exact same spot on that stone. You saw the result of many days of careful work with a special kind of quiet consideration. ”
“That's how all great things are 25. Lasting attention matches with lasting effort—a little bit at a time—until the right time comes. Then nothing can get in the way of success，”the young lady continued. Suddenly，the young man seemed to understand something.
