(2）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.
An elderly carpenter who was very skillful with his hands was ready to
retire. He told his employer of his plan to leave the house-building
business and live a more leisurely life with his wife. He wished to
1 his
life to the full before it was too late。 He would 2 the paycheck，
but he
needed to retire.
The employer was sorry to see his 3 worker go and asked if he
could build just one more house as a personal 4。
The carpenter said yes,
but over time it was easy to see that his 5 was not in his work。
He
restored to bad and careless workmanship and 6 poor quality materials。
There was no doubt that it was an 7 way to end his dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to 8 the
house, and he handed the front-door key to the carpenter， 9 ,
“This is
your house and this is my 10 for you. ”
Hearing what the employer said， the carpenter felt not only shocked
but also 11。 If he had known he was building his own house， he would
have done it so 12. Now he had to live in the home he had built。
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way， reacting
rather than acting， willing to put up less than the best. At important
points we do not give the job our best 13. Then with a shock we look at
the situation we have 14 and find that we are living in the house we have
built。 If we had 15 that, we would have done it differently。
