One day a neighbor asked the man, “One of your pots has been broken for years. It can only deliver half its load, so you don’t get full value from your efforts. Why don’t you buy a new one?”

The man smiled and said, “Please follow me to my house, and you may see some beautiful flowers.” On the way to the man’s house, the neighbor took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path.

The man said to the neighbor, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on one side of the path, but not on the other side? That’s because I have always known about the flaw (缺陷) of my pot. I planted flower seeds on one side of the path. Every day when I walk back from the stream, the broken pot waters them. For years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) my house. Without the broken pot, I would not have this beauty.”

Many years ago in a small village, an old man was hired to clear the spring (泉水) up on the mountain.

Soon, beautiful swans (天鹅) came to the clear spring, and the village became a popular attraction for visitors.

Years passed. One evening the town leaders held a meeting. As they looked at the salary list, one of them said, “Why do we keep this old man on year after year? I don’t think we need him or his work.” Later, the old man was asked to leave.

Nobel Prize-winning author Doris Lessing said winning the Noble Prize in 2007 had been a “bloody disaster”.

The increased media (媒体) interest in her has meant that writing a full novel was next to impossible, she said.

Lessing, 88, also said she would probably be giving up writing novels. Her latest book is the partly fictional memoir（虚幻小说）entitled Alfred and Emily. Since her Nobel winning she has been constantly in demand, she said. “All I do is to give interviews and spend time being photographed.”

Speaking about her writing, she said: “It has stopped. I don’t have any energy any more.” Lessing is the 11th woman to win the Nobel Prize for literature in its 106-year history. Her best known works include The Golden Notebook and The Diaries of Jane Somers(《萨默斯的日记》).

She also recalled that, in the 1960s, she had been told that the Nobel Academy’s judges did not like her and she would never win. Ill-health prevented her from attending the prize ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden.

Instead the Swedish Ambassador to London, Staffan Carlsson, presented the prize to her in the UK. He told her she was being “crowned with a prize you have long deserved（应得）”.

Lessing was born in Iran and moved to Rhodesia—now Zimbabwe—as a child before settling in England in 1949.

Her first novel The Grass is singing was published the following year. Altogether she has written more than 50 novels, plays and collections of short stories.

72. Why did Lessing say her winning the Nobel Prize was “a bloody disaster”?

A. She was too excited to go on writing her novels.

B. Her peaceful life was disturbed by the increased media.

C. Many people came to ask her for advice on writing.

D. The Swedish Ambassador often came to present the prize.

73. Lessing didn’t go to Stockholm to get the prize because ____.

A. she thought of the prize as a “bloody disaster”

B. too many interviews prevented her from going there

C. she didn’t want to accept the prize

D. her poor health stoped her from going there

74. From the passage we know that the Nobel Prize for literature was set up ____.

A. in 1901 B. in 1921 C. in the 60s D. in 1949

75. Lessing was given the Noble Prize because ____.

A. she was an 88-year-old woman

B. she was a famous writer

C. she did a lot to the literature

D. she is the oldest writer in the world
