“Dr.Papaderos，what is the meaning of life？”

The usual laughter followed，and people stirred(骚动) to go.

Papaderos held up his hand and looked at me for a long time，asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.

“I will answer your question.”

Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket，he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror，about the size of a quarter.And what he said went like this：

“When I was a small child，during the war，we were very poor and we lived in a remote village.One day，on the road，I found the broken pieces of a mirror.

“I tried to find all the pieces and put them together，but it was not possible，so I kept only the largest piece.This one，and，by scratching it on a stone，I made it round.I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and cracks and dark closets.It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible(难达到的) places I could find.

“As I became a man，I grew to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life.I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light.But light—truth，understanding，and knowledge—is there，and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.

“I am a fragment (碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know.Nevertheless，with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people.Perhaps others may see and do likewise.This is what I am about.This is the meaning of my life.”

本文是一篇记叙文。通过Papaderos博士讲述的故事告诉了我们他所理解的“生命的意义”：我们应将这个世界上本来就存在的真理、理解和知识反射到这个世界中黑暗的地方，反射到人们心灵的阴暗处，给他们带来某些改变，并希望其他人看到后，也会效仿并这么做。

1．Why did Dr.Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?

A．Because he was too poor to afford other toys.

B．Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn't reach.

C．Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.

D．Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him.

B[细节理解题。根据对第七段第三句“I began to play with it as a toy...where the sun would never shine”的理解可知，Papaderos博士小时候很喜欢这面小圆镜是因为它可以把光线反射到太阳照不到的地方。故答案选B。]

2．The under lined word “metaphor” in the 8th paragraph most probably means “”．

A．symbol B．source

C．light D．purpose

A[词义猜测题。根据对第八段“I came to understand that I am not the light...only if I reflect it.”的理解可知，Papaderos博士渐渐地意识到镜子反射光是自己传播真理、理解和知识的一种“象征”。故metaphor意为“象征”，与symbol意思相近。]

3．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A．A Special Game in the Childhood

B．A Piece of Mirror

C．Dr.Papaderos' Experience

D．The Meaning of Life

D[标题概括题。通读全文且根据文章开头提到的“...what is the meaning of life？”和结尾提到的“This is the meaning of my life.”以及文章最后一段可知，文章通过Papaderos博士的故事让我们知道了他所理解的“生命的意义”。D项“生命的意义”最能概括出文章的主旨，适合做标题。故答案选D。]
