A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a 31 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it 32 from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles (弹珠), 33 everywhere. I tried to use a broom (扫帚), 34 with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen.
For the next week, every time I was in the 35 , I found a pea — in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept 36 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and 37 twelve frozen peas hidden underneath (在底下)．
At the time I found those few remaining 38 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful 39 I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded of those peas 40 the refrigerator, and realized that my 41 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered (破碎). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble 42 his new surroundings and the 43 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered (散开)．
When life gets you 44 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never make it, 45 that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be 46 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas eventually, including the ones that are hardest to 47 . And when you’ve got them 48 , you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to 49 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 50 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

One day in l965, when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattle, a fourth-grade teacher approached me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge. "Could he help in the library?" She asked. I said, "Send him along."
Soon a slight, sandy-haired boy in jeans and a T-shift appeared. "Do you have a job for me?" he asked.
I told him about the Dewey Decimal System for shelving books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him a stack of cards for long-overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them. He said, "Is it kind of a detective job?" I answered yes, and he became working.
He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced, "Time for break!" He argued for finishing the finding job; She made the case for fresh air. She won.
The next morning, he arrived early. "I want to finish these books," he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis, it was easy to say yes. He worked untiringly.
After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother announced that the family would be moving to neighbouring school district. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the View Ridge library. "Who will find the lost books?" he asked.
When the time came, I said a reluctant good-bye. I missed him, but not for long. A few days later he came back and joyfully announced: "The librarian over there doesn't let boys work in the library. My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge. My dad will drop me off on his way to work. And if he can’t, I'll walk!"
I should have had an inkling(感觉) such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go. What I could not have guessed, however, was that he would become a wizard of the Information Age: Bill Gates, tycoon of Microsoft and America's richest man.
What was the author when the story happened?
A. A teacher. B. A librarian. C. A detective. D. A professor.
What was the boy told to do on his first day in the library?
A. To rearrange the books according to the new system.
B. To put those overdue books back to the shelves.
C. To find out the books with wrong cards in them.
D. To put the cards back in the long-overdue books.
The boy got transferred back to View Ridge because _______.
A. he did not like his life in the new school
B. the transportation there was not convenient
C. he missed his old schoolmates and teachers
D. he was not allowed to work in the school library
What impressed the author most was that the boy _______.
A. had a thirst for learning B. had a strong will
C. was extremely quick at learning D. had a kind heart
