But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man got it. The book wasn39。t very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum（羊皮紙）on which was written the secret of the Touchstone. The touchstone was a small pebble（鵝卵石）that could turn any mon metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this. The real stone would feel warn, while ordinary pebbles are cold. So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into months and the months into years. One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away. So it is with opportunity（機(jī)會）. Unless we are vigilant, it39。s easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and it39。s just as easy to throw it away.（1）According to the passage, the touchstone is a stone __________.

In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today39。s children. I didn39。t have to show up in front of my parents39。 right after school, instead I would go to play with my classmates who lived in the neighborhood. We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called Come back! Come home for supper！Days passed by as I grew up in the pany of those calls which are still echoing in my ears even now. In a short while, my childhood was gone. When a thin layer of hair began to grow around the corners of my mouth, home became a place I tried to run away from. As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before. The bed I used to sleep in became too small, and words of care from my parents began to sound meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own some day! Later I joined the army and put on the green uniform. During my service days, home was the series of letters I received one after another. My most homesick moments were when I read those letters from my family. When I got a job, I began to get hurt, to rise and fall in a sea of people, and to understand that you can39。t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside
