一、完形填空

Nanjing is full of friendly people. Here's a story by a British boy about his neighbour in Nanjing.
Mr Xi lives next to me in my new neighbourhood. He grows fruit in his big garden and gives it to everyone he sees. The neighbours always say he should 1 his fruit. “You'd make a lot of money at the farmer's market,” they say. “Méi guānxi!” he smiles.
One weekend, Mum has to work. She asks Mr Xi to 2 me. He agrees at once. “I'm so sorry, 3 we don't know our other neighbours well,” she says. “Méi guānxi!” Mr Xi says and laughs.
That afternoon, we have great fun together. He teaches me how to tell when a lemon is 4 to pick. He asks me to look at the lemons carefully. “It's very easy,” he says. “They let you 5 by turning yellow and a little shiny.” I finally go home with a basket full of lemons.
“How will we deal with all these lemons?” Mum asks. “Méi guānxi!” I say. “What does that mean?” she asks. I 6 find that I don't know. So next time I see Mr Xi, I ask him. “What does ‘méi guānxi’ mean?”
“It means no 7 ,” he answers, “or it doesn't matter, never mind, you shouldn't worry about it!”
“Not worry? How could someone not worry? I worry about everything! When it rains, I worry about getting 8 . When it's sunny, I worry about getting too hot. When in class, I worry about getting a question wrong. I worry about getting too many questions right.”
“Rain? Sun? My trees need 9 to make delicious fruit!” says Mr Xi.
“Right? Wrong? Well, do you try your best? Then méi guānxi!”
That's the 10 of Mr Xi—he turns worries into joy, and always gives help to others, just like his endless baskets of fruit. “Méi guānxi” isn't only warm words, but also the way he lives.

1. C 根据下文“You'd make a lot of money at the farmer's market”可知，邻居们认为习先生可以把水果拿到农贸市场卖掉赚钱。故选 C。
