Question

【题目】I teach economics at UNLV. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. ____【1】____He then asked me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.

His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said.“____【2】____”

“Let me give you an example,” I continued. This university is 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. ____【3】____I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I put my flashers on and marched down the road to the college.”

“As soon as I got there .I arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. A teacher asked me what had happened. ‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling at her. ‘____【4】____What do you mean?’ She continued to ask. ‘I live 17 miles from here. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class and arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. I explained to her. ”

“Her eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. ____【5】____” So ended my story.

I scanned the sixty faces. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. In fact, it had all started with a student’s observation that I was cheerful.

A. I choose to be cheerful.

B. You’re your own master.

C. But just then my car died.

D. I smiled back and headed for class.

试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文。当我问学生周末过得怎么样时，一位学生提问为何我总是看起来那么高兴。我想起了曾经发生的一件事情：我的家离学校有17公里，有一天我的车中途坏了，我不得不下车步行上班。到了学校我马上安排货车去拖我的车，同事问我发生了什么事，我却说这是我幸运的一天，因为车没有坏在高速上，我可以下车步行去上班，也可以更快地安排货车去拖车。告诉我们要积极面对生活。
