Questions 1 – 5 refer to
the following text.
An elderly carpenter was ready to
retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building
business and live a more leisurely life with his wife, emjoying his extended
family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get
by.
The emplyoyer was sorry to see his
good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal
favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart
was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior
materials. It was an unfortunete way to end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work
and the employer come to inspect the house, the employer handed the
front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house, “ he said. “It is my
gift to you.” What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was
building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to
live in the house he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives
in distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than
the best. At important point we do not give the job our best effort. Then
with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are
not living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done
it differently.
Think of yourself as the carpenter.
Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a
wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live
in it for only one day more, that day deverses to be lived graciously and
with dignity.

Kaguya Hime – The Tale

Once
upon a time, there was an old man and his wife. One day he went to a
bamboo grove to collect bamboo shoots, where he found a bamboo tree
illuminated in the middle part. He wondered why and then became curious about what was inside.
He carefully cut the bamboo and was astonished to find a pretty baby inside. He decided to to pick

handle this baby, and they made up
their minds to raise this baby as a gift from God.
After several years had passed, the
baby grew up and was a young and beautiful lady in the town. Everyone knew her because she was graceful
and beatiful. Hearing about her reputation, there were so many gentlemen who
proposed marriage to her that the old parents were now very proud of her and
tried to make her choose a candidates. She, however, declined any proposal.
She became very sad and was crying every day. The old parents couldn’t
understand why and couldn’t get the daughter to answer.
On a full moon night, she decided to
tell why she was crying and to say she had to leave home and go back to the
moon. She was frustrated for a long time because the time for her departure

gift. The old parents lived a long life after that.

As the
hilariously funny tale called The Princess Diaries begins. Mia Thermopolis is
just a regular high school freshman at Albert Einstein High School. Well, as
regular as you can be when you live in a loft in downtown New York with your
flighty artist Mom. And as regular as you can be when your best friend is
Lilly, a punky and spunky militant who produdes her own TV show.
As readers
can guess from the title, this book taes the form of a diary, written by Mia.
Over the span of a mouth, she relates her daily woes and embarrassments in
heart breaking detail. As with most teenaged girls. Mia thinks she is
hopeless, look-wise. She’ll tall – 5’93 – and klutzy, and not so gifted in
the chest department. Then there is school. One of Mia’s biggest problems is
the fact she is flunking Algebra and to make matters worse, her Mom has
began her teacher Gross.
In the
boy department, the cutest one in school has the locker next to hers, but
doesn’t even know Mia exist, even as his snooty girlfriend Lana, a popular
cheerleader, torments her. And to top it off. Mia is developing some sort of
weird crush on Michael, Lilly’s computer nerd brother.
Then one
day, Mia finds out she is a princess. Okay, I know that doesn’t sound bad to
most girls, but Mia hates the idea instantly. How does this fairy tale come
true? Her father is ruler of the principality of Genovia and since Mia is his only child,
she is next in line to the throne. Her dad sends in the big guns to convince
Mia that being a princess is what she is meant to do, her formidable
grandmother comes to New York to give Mia “Princess Lesson”. And so the word
spreads around Albert Einstein High School that Mia is royalty, her life just
just gets more crazy.
The ending
of The Princess Diaries is a twisty one and will leave you joining for more
stories of Mia and the rest of her friends.
