I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not   36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much   37 than others.
I hated going to school and I hated   38  at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing   39 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   40 and seeing an ugly and hunchback(駝背).
My friends found me   41 because I didn’t let other get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life   42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school—a spot where no one would
  43 me. That’s when I first heard your voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” you asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No   44 .”
“I bet they’re playing games and make friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our   45 started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(處境)—until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, you saw my   46 . She just stared.
My heart   47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   48  me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know  49 your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be   50 . I begged in my heart for her to   51 , but you just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered   52 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is bunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was   53 . I looked into your eyes and her   54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to   55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind – hearted friend.

【小題8】動詞辨析。A打擾B尋找C安慰D忽視;我坐在學校的角落里,不想別人來打擾我。interrupt表示“打斷,中斷”,不合題意。
【小題9】由答句I bet, I don’t think so 可以推斷出所填詞應(yīng)為B,no   idea意思是:不知道。 上下文串聯(lián)。
【小題10】上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)前面三句可知這就是我們之間的對話的開始。A聯(lián)系B競爭C對話D綜合,故選擇答案C。

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (鋪瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is    1  .
Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve    2   what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will    3   make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different    4 , or forget about it and    5  the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively    6  life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.
The first    7  is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to    8 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is awareness. We should    9   that happiness is a byproduct (副產(chǎn)品) of something else. The most obvious    10   are those pursuits ( 追求) that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are   11   to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our   12   has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should    13  this truth: if you choose to find the   14   in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As for happiness itself, this    15   depends on your decision to make.

A man and his girlfriend just got married. The husband didn’t talk much but he was a steady man. The wife was pretty and dreamy.  Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, “I read in a magazine about how we can  36  our marriage. Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit   37   with the other. Then, we can place them on the table to discuss how we    38   them together and make our life even happier.”
“Are you sure you are about to do this?” the husband sighed and    39  . So each of them went to a(n)   40   room and thought about the things that annoyed them about the other for the rest of the day.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their    41   .
“I’ll start,” offered his wife eagerly. She    42   her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. She read all three pages to her husband and seemed to be quite pleased with her hard “work”. After hearing that, the husband stated   43  , “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the   44  that you are. I don’t want you to   45  anything for me.”
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for and his   46  of her without any conditions, turned her head and wept. At that moment, she came to understand the saying: “Beauty lies in the lover's eyes”.
In life, there are enough time when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go  47  for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wonderful things before us? If you are accustomed to judging people, you have no time to love them.

 Beware of those who use the truth to deceive(欺騙). When someone tells you something that is  , but leaves out important information that should be  , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just  a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and  it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner,   ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred  , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big  !
He didn’t say anything that was  , but he deliberately left out some important  . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically  , but they are just as not  .
