Question

    When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift, it was happiness.

One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my _________ because of its high speed. Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life without arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears._________ slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn’t get my arms back even though I cried every day.

However, it’s easier said than done. It _______ me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness completely. I got so much from my past story.

From then on, I could treat my life with a normal mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates _________ about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes late; they don’t have a mobile phone, but _________ have, and so on. But I only _______ life. I was lucky to realize from an accident.

It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have _______. We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, “My whole life would improve _______ I have a new car.” But when you get the car and what _________? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

Happiness depends on what we have! It’s in our heart. It’s a state of mind, even though you own the whole world, you may still feel ________.Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激) and taking pleasure in what you really have.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了作者在回家路上遭遇车祸失去了双臂，经历了一系列痛苦之后，终于明白关注失去的东西只是在浪费生命，快乐取决于我们的心态。

1.句意：在我回家的路上，一辆汽车因为超速撞倒我并碾断了我的双臂。

feet脚；legs腿；arms胳膊；ears耳朵。根据下文“I couldn’t get my arms back…”可知，汽车夺走了我的双臂，故选C。

2.句意：但是渐渐地我意识到我不得不面对现实并克服困难。

Or或者；But但是；So所以；Once一旦。根据“Even I was full of fears. ”及下文可推测，虽然我内心充满恐惧，但是不得不面对现实，前后句意转折，用连词But，故选B。

3.句意：我花费了将近半年时间才完全走出悲伤。

cost花费，主语是物，常用结构为sth. cost(s) sb.+时间/金钱；spent花费，主语是人，常用结构为spend+时间/金钱+doing sth.；took花费（时间），主语是物，常用结构为It takes/took sb.+时间+to do sth.；gave给。根据nearly half a year可知设空处表示“花费”，排除D项；根据主语It和动词不定式to get可知，设空处要用took，故选C。

4.句意：但在我们的日常生活中，我经常看见我的同学们为一些小事感到担心：他们考试成绩不好；他们公交车晚了；他们没有手机但别人有等等。

excited激动的；nervous紧张的；serious严肃的；worried担心的。根据下文“They get a bad grade on a test…”可知，同学们经常担心考试成绩不好之类的事，worried about为……感到担心，故选D。

5.句意：但在我们的日常生活中，我经常看见我的同学们为一些小事感到担心：他们考试成绩不好；他们公交车晚了；他们没有手机但其他人有等等。

the other另一个；one another互相；other另外的；others其他人。根据句子结构可知设空处要用名词性的成分作主语，排除BC；根据谓语动词have可知主语是复数，排除A项，故选D。

6.句意：但我只享受生活。

hate讨厌；dislike不喜欢；enjoy享受；save拯救，节省。根据上文可知同学们为一些小事感到担心，这里的But表示转折，所以下文应该是说我不为那些事而烦心，结合选项可知C项最合适，故选C。

7.句意：关注你已经失去的东西是在浪费生命。

lost失去；had拥有；found发现；spent花费。根据“We should always think of what we have.”可知，下文说应该关注我们拥有的东西，所以上文说浪费时间指的是关注我们失去的东西，故选A。

8.句意：如果我有一辆新汽车，我的人生会有所改善。

because因为；as就像；if如果；whether是否。根据 “But when you get the car…”可知，“我有一辆新汽车”是假设的一种情况，用if引导条件状语从句，表示“如果”，故选C。

9.句意：但是当你拥有了一辆汽车，又会发生什么事呢？

happens（偶然地）发生；takes place（有计划地）发生；used习惯于；uses使用。下文介绍了有车之后会发生的事，所以设空处应该问“又会发生什么事呢”，排除CD；根据句意可知，接下来会发生什么是偶然的事情，并不是计划中的，故选A。

10.句意：这是一种心态，即使你拥有了全世界，你可能仍会感到不开心。

funny有趣的；happy快乐的；excited激动的；unhappy不开心的。结合上文可知快乐取决于我们的心态，尽管拥有了很多物质的东西，但还是可能无法得到快乐，故选A。
