8．Something as simple as______ thoughts openly can make a powerful difference to one's health．（　　）

A．

to share

B．

sharing

C．

D．

shared

分析像公开分享观点这样简单的事情可以对一个人的健康有很强大的影响．

解答答案：B
前面是something，as simple as中第二个as是介词，后面应该加名词或动名词，所以选择sharing．

点评在介词后面一般用名词或者动名词做宾语，在分析句子的时候要特别注意这些介词，尤其是to，因为to可以作为介词，也可以作为动词不定式的标志．

19．A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small，desert-like island．Not knowing what else to do，the two survivors agreed that they had no alternativethan to pray to God．
However，to find out whose prayers were more powerful，they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island．
The first thing they prayed for was food．The next morning，the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island，and he was able to eat its fruit．But the other man's parcel of land remained barren．
After a week，the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife．The next day，another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island．But on the other side of the island，there was nothing．
Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house，clothes and more food．The next day，like magic，all of these things were given to him．However，the second man still had nothing．
Finally，the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island，and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island．
The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island，considering the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings since none of his prayers had been answered．
As the ship was about to leave，the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming，"Why are you leaving your companion on the island？"
"My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them，"the first man answered．"His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn't deserve anything．"
"You are mistaken!"the voice rebuked him．"He had only one prayer，which I answered．If not for that，you would not have received any of my blessings．"
"Tell me，"the first man asked the voice，"what did he pray for that I should owe him anything？"
"He prayed that all your prayers would be answered．"
For all we know，our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone，but those of another praying for us．So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself．

3．While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning，he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise．All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown．What if Mr．Larchmont refused to grant his request？Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency．Of course，he deserved a wage increase．
The thought of walking into Larchmont's office left Andrew weak in the knees．Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior．To his delight and surprise，the ever frugal Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state speed limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china，and candles lit．His wife，Tina，had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes．Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note．It was from his wife．It read："Congratulations，my love!I knew you'd get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you．I am so proud of your accomplishments!"He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was．
After dinner，Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina's pocket onto the floor．He bent forward to pick it up．It read："Don't worry about not getting the raise!You do deserve one!You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase．"
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew's eyes．Total acceptance!Tina's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work．
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure．
