C(2024·江苏盐城盐都区二模)
During the Tang dynasty(618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister Feng Deyi to recommend talented people.
1 , several months passed, Feng didn't recommend anyone. "I tried my best, but there are not unusual or 2 people at all," Feng said.
"People are like utensils(器物). What we need to do is to take advantage of their strengths. You cannot excuse yourself for not 3 talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our 4 ?" said the emperor.
Indeed, each utensil or tool has its use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to 5 food. We can't use a knife as a 6 . Like a utensil, each person has their special strength. Nobody is perfect. We can't expect a person to be good at 7 .
With this idea in 8 , Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He 9 them important positions. This helped them make the best 10 of their talents. His talented people helped the society 11 and created a "golden age".
Some people say if a person is talented 12 , we should give them a chance. The same idea can be found in *The Analects of Confucius*(《论语》). Treating people as utensils shows that we can not only 13 people well, but also allow different kinds of people to work well.
Today, the idea is still 14 . If we become leaders some day, we should help others give full play to their strengths. For example, Liu Bang let Zhang Liang and Xiao He work as advisors for their wisdom 15 he invited Han Xin to lead the army for his war strategies. Known as the "three heroes of the early Han dynasty", they helped Liu build a strong dynasty.
