三、阅读理解：A young man decided to visit a market known for its talented artists. He hoped to find someone, something, to help him release(释放) the great energy in his heart.

After settling in at a small hotel, he went walking through the large outdoor market where hundreds of skilled workmen put their works on show. However, he felt nothing special. He kept walking, leaving the noisy market far behind him and that was just when his ear caught a light sound of drops of water from the other side of an old wooden house. Coming upon an open gate, he looked carefully inside.

A young woman was seated in an open yard with all kinds of stone sculptures of wild animals around her. Although these sculptures were in different times of completion, they already showed unbelievable value.

Just then the young lady stood up. taking a little hammer(锤子) out of her pocket, she walked toward a large stone that was placed on a work base. After careful examination of one small area, she hit it--just once--with her small hammer. She used so little strength that he felt sorry for her timidity(胆怯). Surely, he thought she must be a learner, but his eyes couldn’t believe what happened next.

Suddenly tens of small pieces of the stone broke away. At first he thought she made a mistake and broke the whole stone into pieces. A moment later he understood everything. She had not broken the stone. Instead, she had released its secret character.

With one hit she not only had uncovered a beautiful white material, but had shaped it to look like the beautiful neck of a great swan. He was shocked. What magic was this? He expected to know.

“Excuse me." he said, entering the yard, "how did you do that with a single hit from your tiny hammer?”

"Oh." she laughed. "I guess you’ve only been there in the last few minutes. Before you began watching me, I had had hundreds of similar small hits to the exact same place on that stone. You saw the result of many days' careful work matched with a special kind of quiet consideration.”

"That's how the great things are achieved: Mix lasting attention with continuous effort（努力）--a little bit at a time-- until the right time comes. Then nothing can get in the way of what must be released," the young lady continued. "The practice of this knowledge must produce good works that you hope to achieve.” Suddenly, the young man understood that it was the secret he looked for and expected to know all the time.

(   )1. How did the young man find the market when he arrived there?
