Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate （命运）played a cruel 42 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 43 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy . He began to 44 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 45 . Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated （带插图的）books.
According to Jimmy, you are 46 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 47 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 48 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 49 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 50 . Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 51 . Everything will be all right for us －as it is for the “small people”in Jimmy’s books－if we make choices that are 52 for us.
In spite of his new 53 and wealth, Jimmy prefers working 54 at home with his wife and daughter. He spends his mornings drawing. To Jimmy, living a life as he chooses means much more than money and fame could 55 .

解析
试题分析：
小题1:C根据上一句话可知，Jimmy Liao这位著名的画家哭泣的原因是他得了癌症，生命似乎对他不公平。
小题2:A此处是拿平常人对待健康的态度与 Jimmy Liao现在的情况形成对比。take …for granted认为……是理所当然的。
小题3:D本句为一个省略句，used to do…过去……。used to后省略了take his health for granted。就像他过去认为健康是理所当然的事情那样。
小题4:C根据后面的一句解释可知答案。
小题5:B下文提到 Jimmy Liao 为一画家，画家只能通过的自己绘画来表达自己的思想。
小题6:D 名词辨析。A家；B条件；C情景；D work著作，作品。指他寻找更让人满意的作品。
小题7:Bplay a trick on somebody捉弄，戏弄某人。
小题8:A根据句意可知，Jimmy Liao 这时得了癌症，不能继续工作。
小题9:A本句为一个同位语从句，结合前面一句可知，Jimmy得了癌症，但他在宾馆里哭泣的那一刻也明白了人生并没有命运，而是看你如何做出选择。空格上如果填face或refuse，fact引导的同位语从句应改为他得病这个事实。
小题10:C下文提到虽然生命对你不公，但你的选择可以改变你的生活。因此，人生没有命运，只看你如何选择。
小题11:B本句为一表语从句，从从句中所缺成分可排除A项；根据后一句话，你可以放弃，也可以继续工作成为一个快乐的人可知本句意思是你选择什么样的生活，你就能成为什么样的人。
小题12:C人生路上不可能总会遇到风雨。
小题13:A 根据Jimmy在书中所表达的观点可知他的这种看法可以在他的书中找到。
小题14:D人遇到困难，在做出选择前都会感到茫然无助。
小题15:BJimmy对待癌症，选择了继续工作来充实自己。因此，他对生命充满了希望，这一点在他的绘画中也可表现出来。
小题16:C尽管世界让我们感到自己很渺小，但我们也应该勇敢，坚强。Jimmy在面对疾病时所表现出的正是这个特征。great伟大的；strong 强壮的；equal平等的。
小题17:C上文提到在面对疾病时，可以放弃也可以继续工作，关键看你选择什么。本句是回答这个问题：只要你做出正确的选择，生命就会充满希望。
小题18:BJimmy 原本是一名成功的画家，得病之后又继续工作，又赢得了新的名誉和财富。
小题19:D根据Jimmy所患疾病可排除A项，slowly 只强调动作，不符语意；separately与下文with his wife and daughter矛盾。
小题20:A过自己想过的生活比金钱和荣耀所能提供的东西要有意义的多。
点评：本文告诉我们过自己想要的生活要比金钱和荣耀能提供的东西要有更多的意义。从选项中可以看出，本大题主要还是考查了词汇的辨析与运用，但更加注重综合语言能力的运用，需要根据故事情节，了解词汇用法的同时，结合语境，做出准确的判断。
核心考点
试题【One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
One day each month，we visited hospitals bringing a little happiness to the children there. But there were two rules placed on me during a visit. First, I could not go anywhere in the hospital without permission. And second, I could not physically touch anyone within the hospital. They did not want me to carry germs(细菌)from one patient to another. Breaking either of these rules, I was told, I could lose my job. One day, as I was heading down a hallway and on my way home, I heard a little voice coming through a halfopened door，“Ronald，Ronald.”
I stepped in and saw a boy，about five years old, lying in his dad"s arms, Mom with a nurse on the other side. I knew by the feeling in the room that the situation was grave. I asked his name. He told me it was Billy and that I did a few simple magic tricks for him. As I stepped back to say goodbye, he asked me “Ronald, would you hold me？”
At such a simple request, my heart was screaming, “Yes！”But my mind was screaming louder. “No！You are going to lose your job！”
“Hold me” was such a simple request, and yet I searched for any reasonable excuses that allowed me to leave, but none. It took me a moment to realize that in this situation, losing my job may not be the disaster I feared. Then, I picked up this little boy. He was so weak and so scared. We laughed and cried for 45 minutes. With tears in my eyes, I left them. Less than 48 hours later, I received a phone call from Billy"s mom that Billy had passed away. She and her husband simply wanted to thank me for making a difference in their little boy"s life.
Billy"s mom told me shortly after I left the room. Billy looked at her and said, “Momma, I don"t care any more if I see Santa this year because I was held by Ronald McDonald.”
For the record, McDonald"s Corporation did find it out, but, given the situation，permitted me to go on with my job. I continued as Ronald for another year before leaving the corporation to share the story of Billy and how important it is to take risks.
小题1:The underlined word “grave” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
| A．weak | B．serious | C．interesting | D．exciting |
| A．was unwilling to do so | B．was glad to do so |
| C．hesitated to do so | D．hurried to do so |
| A．To amuse others is enjoyable. | B．To take risks is important. |
| C．To break rules is necessary. | D．To be fired is not fearful. |
| A．the author left the corporation because he broke the rules |
| B．the author left the corporation because he didn"t like the rules |
| C．the boy was quite happy with the experience with the author |
| D．the boy was quite happy with Santa at Christmas |
Most people know the saying: A man"s best friend is his dog; and that Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. However, dogs can’t offer advice or make you a cup of tea when you need one; and precious stones are cold comfort when you need a hug, and a shoulder to cry on.
What are Friends?
There are many ways to describe a friend. Friends are the family you can choose for yourself. Friends are a much better medication（医疗）than medication is, and people who spend time with friends are happier with their lives as they are less lonely.
A good friend will put you to bed when you’re lost consciousness. Ensure you’re not laid on your back, and remember to remove your shoes. You should be able to tell a true friend anything without being judged by them.
How do Friendships Begin?
This is an easy question. Find someone else who has similar interests with you. You now have another person to talk to about your shared interest but remember they like to talk too, so be prepared to shut up and listen once in a while. Hopefully they will have other friends and will introduce you to them, thereby expanding your circle.
Friendships which begin due to location, for example, next-door neighbors or school classmates, rarely survive transitions such as moving to other neighborhoods, schools, colleges, jobs, immigration, and so forth. Attend a school reunion and you’ll wonder what on earth you ever had in common with these people other than your age, although it is possible to have a friendship with someone you met at school. Mutually maintain it, and eventually become godparent or “uncle” to each others’ children.
How Friendships are Maintained
To have a friend you must also be a friend and be prepared to be there for them should they need you. Failure in this respect would label you a fair-weather friend and you would most probably be abandoned.
Boundaries
Like every other relationship you have in your life, there are boundaries you shouldn’t cross with your friends. One of those is money: Don’t lend to your friend and don’t ask for a loan yourself.
Friends are unpaid counselors（顾问）,but phoning them at 2 am because you’re awake and would like a chat is not a good idea. Neither is phoning them at 10 am if you know they’re a shift-worker. Friends are people who need some space and quiet time. Generally, it all boils down to mutual respect and understanding.
It’s not a good plan to interrupt your friend while they’re on a date/on holiday/attending an orchestral recital/at a funeral.
Trust
Trust is the most vital element in any relationship. If you’re not trustworthy then you probably don’t deserve friends, so try to remember that you promised to see that dull film with them or applaud them at their first attempt at a karaoke or an Open Mic night. If you have promised to look after their clothes while they go for a bet, then make sure you do. You might like to carry enough cash to help them out too, as you never know when that situation might be reversed.
Don’t lie to your friend: if they know you well they’ll know you’re lying or will at least be suspicious. If you find out something that you know will hurt your friend, be tactful（圆滑）. Do they need to know? Would they appreciate knowing? Can you tell their mum so she can break the news? Cowardly, yes, but mums usually have a much better way with words. Remember, if you do decide to tell them and it’s painful, they will probably need some time alone, after lashing out at（抨击）the closest thing—you. In that case, play the waiting game. Then don’t beat them up about it afterwards.
A Friend for Life
Strong friendships can last a lifetime with care and consideration. The benefits are multi-folds; you’ve got someone to share birthday cake with, and especially for single people, a pub meal or a trip to the cinema is no fun alone, is it? Plus it’s always nice to know there’s someone there for you, as you’re there for them, through the bad times as well as the good. Altogether now: Oh I get by with a little help from my friends. Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends.

| A．paid counselors | B．money lenders |
| C．good listeners | D．next-door neighbors |

| C．You may lose a friend if you are always telling lies to him or her. |

But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 42 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are quick to excite. Go to look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her 47 . “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I 48 them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today. And I 50 have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way. ”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you 51 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I love the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 54 than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.
Remember that 55 =" (F)ATHER" + (A)ND + (M)OTHER + (I ) + (L)OVE + (Y)OU.

They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, and then Mark went home.

I had put away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow.
