一、完型填空
I had a very special teacher in high school. Her husband unexpectedly died of a heart disease. About a week after his 1 , she shared some of her thoughts with a classroom of students.
As the late afternoon sunlight came in 2 the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved some things aside on her desk and sat down there. With a gentle look of reflection (沉思) , she said, “Before class is over, I’d like to share with you a thought that has 3 to do with our class today, but I think it’s very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love and enjoy. None of us knows 4 this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment.”
Her eyes beginning to water, she went on: “So I’d like you all to 5 . From now on, on your way to school, or home, find something beautiful to 6 . It doesn’t have to be something you see, it could be a scent (气味) — perhaps of newly baked (烘焙) bread coming out of someone’s 7 , or it could be the sound of the soft wind slightly touching the leaves in the trees ...”
The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room one by one 8 . That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had in a whole term.
Take notice of something 9 on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot (赤脚) or walk on the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often 10 , but the things we didn’t do.
