E(2024·南通市启东期末)
新素养 勤于反思 Not long ago, my daughter's favourite leather shoes were cut by a knife. She cried. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young apprentice(学徒$) took a look at the cuts quickly and said, “There is \underline{1} I can do but change the uppers($鞋帮).”
$His master looked at them and said to me, “If you \underline{2} me, I will add more cuts to both of the shoes on purpose for a special style.”$
$I didn't fully understand him, \underline{3} I decided to leave the shoes.$
$Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six \underline{4} on each shoe, but all of them were covered by soft red leather sewed($缝) with thick thread(线$). The shoes looked more \underline{5} and interesting than ever. I couldn't stop praising the master for his skill.$
$Another time, my wife's \underline{6} had an opening on the back. My wife checked it carefully, and then said, “I'll \underline{7} it myself.”$
$Three days went past, and I was very \underline{8} to see it again: the \underline{9} was sewed up by thin and white thread and it looked like the ice crystal($晶体$). She \underline{10} made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I said with praise, “It's just as beautiful as a piece of \underline{11}.”$
“I learnt from the master. Patches(补丁$) can be \underline{12} to look perfect,” replied my wife.$
$Her words taught me even more. Perfection is \underline{13} to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable; so is human's life, which will appear in the form of wound, \underline{14} or disease. Since we can't change that, all we can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try our best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is what life teaches us. Once we \underline{15} it, we can enjoy our life better.$
