There was once a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace，many artists 16 ．The king looked at all the pictures．But there were only two he really liked，and he had to choose 17 them．

There was a calm lake in one picture．The lake was a perfect mirror and peaceful towering(高大的)mountains were all around it．Overhead was a blue 18 with light white clouds．All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace．

The other picture had mountains，too．But they were bare(光秃秃的)and had rough rocks．

Above was a(n) 19 sky，from which rain 20 and in which lightning flashed．Down the side of the mountain，a waterfall fell quickly．This did not look peaceful 21 ．

But when the king looked 22 ，he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush 23 in a crack(裂缝)in the rock．In the bush a mother bird had built her nest．There, in the middle of the rush of angry water，sat the mother bird on her nest—in perfect peace．

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture．Do you know 24 ? “Because，”explained the king，“peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise，trouble，or hard work．Peace 25 to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart．That is the real meaning of peace．”

My grandfather took me to the small lake on our farm when I was about seven，and he told me to throw a stone into the water．He told me to watch the circles made by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone．

“You may make lots of splashes in your life，but the wave that come from those splashes will push the peace of all the people around you.” he said.

“Remember that you are responsible(有责任的)for what you put in your circle and that circle will also push many other circles．”

“You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others．The splash that comes from anger and jealousy will send those feelings to other circles．You

are responsible for both．”

That was the first time I learned that each person gives the inside peace or discord(不和)that goes out into the world．We cannot bring world peace if we are puzzled(迷惑)by inside disagreement，hate，doubt，or anger. We give out the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside，whether we speak them out or not.

Whatever is splashing around inside of us is coming out into the world, building beauty and discord with all other circles of life．

My house is made out of wood，glass and stone．It is also made out of software.

If von come to visit，you’ll probably be surprised when you come in．Someone will give you an electronic PIN(个人身份号码)to wear．This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need．When it's dark outside，the PIN turns on the lights nearest you， and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favourite music，it plays it．The music seems to be everywhere，but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music．If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.

0f course，you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home console(控制台)，a small machine that turns things on and off around you.

The PIN and the console are new ideas，but they are in fact like many things we have today．If you want to go to a movie，you need a ticket．If I give you my car keys，you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys．My house works for you because you wear me PIN or hold the console．

I believe that ten years from now，most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house．The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today． I like to try new ideas．I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new，and ask myself instead，“How will I live without them?”

D．the writer is able to change his new idea into practice 40．What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage? A．An IT expert(专家)． B. A famous doctor. C．A hard-working professor． D．A well-known teacher.
