Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)

He was just an ordinary postman. Day after day he shuttled(穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him life

was without waves.

 

　　One day he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky he suddenly lost his balance. It was a little stone that tripped him up（绊倒）. He observed the stone that had embarrassed（难堪） him finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes this stone was like a lost jewel（宝石） covered with dust. The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone’s arrival his day was lightened. He suddenly had a bold thought—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How magnificent it will be!

　　His ordinary life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones in his eyes glittered like diamonds.

　　Gradually his small bag couldn’t hold his stones anymore and he needed to use a wheelbarrow to carry them. People didn’t understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones.

　　After collecting enough stones he started to build his castle. During the daytime he passed along the dreams of others; and during the nighttime he built his own dream. No one was willing to join in. But the postman was unmoved still happily building his castle. Because he knew the dream and the castle only belonged to him.

　　After 20 years of working day and night the postman’s dream castle was finally completed. It was a magnificent castle just as he had imagined. It was a miracle arising from the ordinary.

　　This is a real story. The postman’s name is Xue Waller. The stone castle has become a famous tourist attraction in France which is called“ ideal palace of Ferdinand Cheval.”At the entrance of the stone castle there is a sentence—“I want to know how far a dream stone can go.”
