D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分，第88题1分，第89-92题每题2分，第93题3分)
An old carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer (雇主) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials.
It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. \he said, \
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted (不专注的) way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.
It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity (尊严).
The sentence on the wall reads, \Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.
