Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important     : giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You needn’t worry if you       money.
This is how I     with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store     in my mind, I step in and make the     to the storekeeper. If an accident takes place, the     of which I think the local police could use, I     him up and tell him about it, though I am not in    here. I found a rule about this world is to give     getting something back, though the    often comes in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special letter to my home, though it was     to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of     . More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was     . I was told at the window that there were     boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long     list. As I was about to be      , the postmaster appeared in the    . “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering an  __  delivery to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office      we make one specifically for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get     but complaints.”

解析試題分析:文章大意:大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為,生活就是獲得的過程。但在人生的生中,放棄或給予同樣也是一種精彩。
【小題1】D上下文連串。discovery發(fā)現(xiàn)。像很多人一樣,我生來就認(rèn)為生活就是獲得,直到三十多歲的時候才發(fā)現(xiàn),放棄或給予也會使得生活如此精彩。再者,后文也提到了這種發(fā)現(xiàn)。
【小題2】B動詞辨析。A. earn賺的;B. lack缺乏;C. spend花費;D. steal偷。你缺錢也無須擔(dān)心,因為生活并不只是一味的索取。你缺錢也無須擔(dān)心,因為生活并不只是一味的索取。
【小題3】A 動詞短語辨析。experience with使用……方面的經(jīng)驗。下文列舉的事例都是作者生活中經(jīng)歷的事情。這就是我怎么體驗到放棄的。
【小題4】B動詞辨析。本句主語為 an idea。主意在某人腦海中閃現(xiàn)用flash 。happen to …發(fā)生在某人身上;stick to堅持; lead to導(dǎo)致,其賓語一般不為人。
【小題5】C上下文連串。根據(jù)前文提到的neighborhood store可知答案。make a suggestion提出建議。我走進(jìn)去,跟店主提出建議。
【小題6】A 名詞辨析。story故事,事情。出現(xiàn)事故,警察應(yīng)了解事情的經(jīng)過真相。damage 破壞;challenge 挑戰(zhàn);material物質(zhì),材料。
【小題7】A動詞辨析。A. call打電話;B. hold把握;  C. cheer歡呼;D. pick撿起。根據(jù)后文tell him about it 可知作者是打電話告訴警察事情的經(jīng)過。
【小題8】D。名詞辨析。A. Possession擁有;B. Trouble麻煩;C. Place地方D. Charge負(fù)責(zé)。這里考查短語in charge負(fù)責(zé),掌管。作者雖然不負(fù)責(zé)這里的事情,但他卻主動幫助警察了解事故經(jīng)過。
【小題9】B 上下文連串。根據(jù)后面用getting可知這里用介詞。上文列舉的事例都表明作者想主動幫助別人而不希望得到什么。
【小題10】C。名詞辨析。return回報。根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞though和下文所列舉的事例表明,幫助別人有時候在不經(jīng)意時也會得到回報。
【小題11】B 上下文連串。根據(jù)下文的postmaster說的話中可知答案。在星期日的早上,當(dāng)?shù)剜]局送了一封特別重要信到我家里,盡管它是到我辦公室的地址。
【小題12】D 動詞辨析。address此處為動詞,注明……的地址。信上標(biāo)明收信人的地址是我辦公室的地址,但郵遞員卻把它送到了我的家里。
【小題13】D 名詞辨析。appreciation欣賞,贊賞。郵遞員把本來該送到辦公室的信送到家里,人們通常只會責(zé)備他們,而作者卻與此相反,非但沒有責(zé)備,而是寫了一封表揚信。他也因此得到了回報。
【小題14】C 動詞辨析。本句為定語從句,橫線上所缺動詞的賓語為new business 。deal 為不及物動詞,故排除。作者開辦了一項新的業(yè)務(wù)。
【小題15】D 上下文連串。結(jié)合上下文可知,郵局里已沒有剩余的郵箱,但作者原來無意的付出卻使得郵遞員愿意為他做一個。
【小題16】C 形容詞辨析。A. positive積極的 ;B. shocked震驚的;    C. discouraged使失望 D. optimistic樂觀的。正當(dāng)我正要讓郵寄員失望的時候。
【小題17】A 名詞辨析。根據(jù)故事發(fā)生的地點,可排除C,D。另外,根據(jù)介詞in排除A項。作者正要離開,郵遞員在門口攔住了他。
【小題18】B 形容詞辨析。A. unfamiliar不熟悉的;B. unexpected意想不到的;C. unknown未知的; D. uncertain不確定的。難道你一年前沒有寫信給我們要寄一封意想不到的信到你家么?
【小題19】C 短語辨析。本句句意為在這個郵局里,你應(yīng)該得到一個郵箱,即便是我們給你做一個。in case以防; now that既然,因為;as if 好像。
【小題20】A 代詞辨析。本題考查not …but…結(jié)構(gòu),不是………而是……。這里用nothing代替。這里指郵遞員從顧客那里一般不會得到任何東西,只有抱怨。

People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another        , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(絆腳) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his      ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to         aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In         these and other research findings, two themes are         : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think     assistance.
In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid.       , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be        , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very          person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to        the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
The degree of      between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n)           T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone.        to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for        than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be         rather than drunk.

Recently, we went on a vacation for a week that involved visiting four different ports in the sunny and warm climate of the Caribbean. There were         of laughter, fun and great food. It’s a        thing when you go away that each day of the vacation also        to the end and a return to work.
It was twelve years since we went on a vacation, so this vacation was viewed with        of a great break away from my daily routine. And we weren’t        .
But there was something very different about this vacation compared to those when we worked in a corporative environment. The main       was that when we returned, when the vacation was rapidly drawing to a close, we didn’t have the same feeling of     stress, anxiety and fear.
In this recent vacation, it wasn’t that we        enjoyed the various fun and new activities, the break away from routine, the pleasure of touring different countries and cultures, the         to do what we wanted when we wanted or the leisurely      of each day that was significant. What was significant was that we didn’t       fear the last day of vacation. You see, we know that we were        what we love to do not what we had to do.
The feelings experienced in the last couple of days of vacation were viewed with the same joy as the very first days. In the previous times, the last days of vacation were terrible. We experience an increasing        of stress      we knew that a return to our field of employment was “work” and not        that we loved and thoroughly enjoyed.
The        is this: If you do what you love, it doesn’t matter       that a vacation has to end. If you love what you do you will not        yourself wishing for even a few more days of vacation, or wishing that you could      enjoying this vacation for much, much longer. A love of what you do        you back like a magnet.
