C
There was a small island that had no rain for a long time. People were living a hard life because of the bad harvest(收成).
One day, a group of musicians travelled there by ship, trying to make a living by their shows. But people there even didn't have enough food to eat. No one was interested in the music shows. "Music can help solve any problem," said the musicians. They tried to find out why it wouldn't rain. "It has been cloudy like this for many months, but not a drop of rain has fallen," people told them.
The musician answered, "Don't worry. We will bring rain to the island." Then they prepared to hold a concert at the top of the highest mountain. The musicians began to play. From their musical instruments came small and playful musical notes(音符). They flew towards the clouds. The music was so joyful that the notes started playing with clouds happily. The whole sky turned into one big playground. Soon, the big clouds were filled with laughter. And when the music turned to be sad, the clouds began crying, bringing rain to the island. The musicians succeeded.
In memory of that musical rain, everyone on the island learnt how to play an instrument.

Once, a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But it was incomplete, so it could only roll(滚动) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. 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 looking for the missing piece.
Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that(既然) it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast. But it was too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It got to know how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we get everything. But a man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He would never have hopes, dreams or something better. He would never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn't be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive(宽恕), kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always live a wonderful life.

这是一篇英语寓言类阅读理解题，共4道选择题，需结合原文内容逐一分析选项：
1. 第27题（细节理解题）：需定位原文对应信息判断选项正误。A选项“总是滚得慢”与原文“找到合适碎片后能快速滚动”矛盾；B选项“和花、阳光说话”原文是“和虫子说话”，错误；C选项对应原文“found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit”，正确；D选项“没找到花和阳光”与原文“enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine”矛盾，错误。
2. 第28题（细节理解题）：定位原文开头“a circle lost a piece of its own...it was incomplete, so it could only roll very slowly”，可知滚得慢的原因是丢了一块，选D。
3. 第29题（细节理解题）：定位原文“But a man who has everything is a poor man in some ways”，直接对应选项B。
