He told his boss about his plans to leave the house-building business. He wanted to live a more comfortable life with his wife. The boss was sorry to see his good worker go. He asked the carpenter to build on last house for him. The carpenter said yes, but it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. Soon the carpenter finished his work. The boss came to check the house, then he handed the front door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.” What a shock! The carpenter couldn’t believe his ears. Also, what a shame (羞愧)! If he could build the house one more time, he would do it all so differently. Now he had to live in the house he built carelessly. So it is with us. We build our lives in a careless way. Sometimes we do not give the job our best work. Then we look at the situation and find that we are now living in the house we built. If we knew that, we would do it differently. Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Build it carefully. It is the only life you will ever build. Someone says, “Life is a do-it-yourself job.” That is to say, the choices (选择) you made in the past decide your life today and the choices you make today decide your life tomorrow. 72．Why did the carpenter want to leave the house-building business? A．Because he made a lot of money. B．Because his wife wanted him to do so.

Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.” “I like your playing! Just not so loud at night.” Mrs. Gilbert said and pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are better.” “We will be happy to play them.” Dario’s mother said. “And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said.
