The back door of the ambulance (救护车) was suddenly shut and the driver ran to the front, jumped into the seat, and started the engine. Inside were the 　36　 parents, Mr. and Mrs. Green, the mother holding their baby daughter, Ally. The little girl had some food stuck in her 　37　and could hardly 　38　.?
The driver, Mr. White, 　39　 his siren (警报器) and flashing light, and started speeding toward the 　40　 hospital, fighting against 　41　. The cars ahead of him pulled out of way 　42　 he drove through the busy traffic. From the back of the ambulance the parents were shouting at him to 　43　, since Ally almost stopped breathing. In front of him he saw some traffic 　44　, with the red “stop” light shining. Mr. White knew he had no time to lose, so he drove straight past the traffic lights, looking 　45　 his left and right as he did so.
Coming towards him from his right was a 　46　. The driver had the windows 　47　, since the car was air-conditioned, and he was playing his radio. He did not hear the ambulance.
The lights were 　48　, so he drove straight 　49　 into the path of the ambulance. Mr. White tried to stop his ambulance, but it was too late. It hit the taxi. Everyone was shaken but no one was hurt. Mr. White looked back to see 　50　 little Ally was. He was 　51 to see relief instead of fear in the face of the parents.
“Look!” cried Mrs. Green. “She is 　52　 again.”?
“It must have been the crash (撞击),” said her husband. “It 　53　 the food out of her throat.” The baby’s color was turning normal, and she was crying in a loud 　54　 healthy voice.
They were all joyful, and quite forgot about the 　55　, the taxi, and the lines of cars all around them.

I was fat kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was      laughed at for being heavier than the other kids,      me feeling shy. I tried several diets, but      worked, and I     gaining weight. Another factor        my weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course, eating. 　 
　When I finished high school at the age of 18, I weighed 215 pounds.       the self-confidence to go to a new, faraway school, I decided to stay close to home      going away to college. I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes. 　 
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend's New Year's Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught my       in a mirror and the truth      me: I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger and       . 　 
After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss     and realized they didn't work because they required me to abandon foods I loved. Then I would constantly think about food and binge,       the diet      my hunger and not feel deprived. 　 
　My biggest       was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier lifestyle. At first, I tried to stay away from the kitchen to         myself thinking about food. The result: Food was all I thought about.       had to be some way to combine cooking with healthful eating. I found the     after reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.　 
　The pounds started coming off, and when I started exercising (usually cardio and weight training five times a week), they seemed to melt away. I didn't feel deprived, and I felt free to give my body the care and attention it     .　 
I lost 165 pounds over the next two years. I had many ups and downs. I was determined to go on. Another challenge to me was not to beat myself up if I ate something that was unhealthy and to take it as a sign to abandon my healthful habits.      I vowed to start again and always keep my goal in mind.　 Thanks to losing weight and becoming fit I am         my body and myself. I have finally found myself.

　　　 The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said, “You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”

　　　 Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers．Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals．

　　　 Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction．Begin with a clear conception of what you want．Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them．Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need．

　　　 It’s important to visualize（想象）yourself accomplishing your goal．While losers visualize the penalties（不利）of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success．I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference．I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly．I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes．

　　　 Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation．So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing．

　　　 When the day arrived, I was eager to go．To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day．

　　　 A. wander like a sleepwalker　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　 B. know well what you are doing

　　　 C. do the same work every day　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　 D. put it into words

54.　　 The problem with the author before he overcame his fear of air travel is that

________．

　　　 A. he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel

　　　 B. he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal

　　　 C. he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
