二、完形填空(10 分)
A rich man wants to go to State Chu, a country in the $\underline{\quad1\quad}$, but he makes his carriage(马车) head for the north. On the way, he meets a local farmer and $\underline{\quad2\quad}$ for a short chat. The farmer asks him where he is going. The man answers, "I'm going to State Chu."
The farmer is surprised. He asks, "Then why do you make your $\underline{\quad3\quad}$ in the opposite direction (相反方向)?"
The man said, "It doesn't matter. My horse can run $\underline{\quad4\quad}$."
"But in the wrong direction, your horse will take you further (更远) away from State Chu!"
"Look $\underline{\quad5\quad}$ my carriage. Don't worry. I $\underline{\quad6\quad}$ a lot of money and food for the trip."
"Well, I know you have enough money for travelling, but you are going in the opposite direction. You'll waste your money $\underline{\quad7\quad}$ you'll never get there!"
"My driver is good at driving. I can't understand $\underline{\quad8\quad}$ you are worried," the rich man said in a(n) $\underline{\quad9\quad}$ voice (嗓音).
People should work out the right way $\underline{\quad10\quad}$ doing things. Without the right direction, the more you do, the farther you will be.
