Since Im new, I might have made some mistakes in my work. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake. ” When he came back in the evening, he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses. He ran to his master and said to him, Im useless and if this is what I have learned to paint, Im not worth teaching.” The master smiled and said, Ill let you know that you are a great artist. Now go to paint the same painting again and give it to me.” Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the same painting exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another board which read, Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. I might have made some mistakes in my painting.I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it. Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction. If you want to help people improve their behavior, youd better learn how to help people change their behavior, attitudes and skills. Also, always remember not to judge yourself by someone elses criticism(批评), because you are the best judge to judge yourself.21Why did the young painter put his painting on a busy street?

Be Proud of Yourself C Dont Judge Other People D Never Give Others Crosses BAs a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream. In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldnt believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it. On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while Iheaded up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasnt frightenedI was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever feltmuch better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it. Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you dont stop living just because you are 84 years old. If theres something you want to experience, look into it. If its something that is possible, make it happen.24.What happened to the author in 2001? A. She flew an airplane.
