Several thoughts ___44___my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) ___45___ T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern ___46___would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed___47___ with life.

I believe that my country,Poland,is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important.When we were little children,we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing.It’s not so common nowadays to treat food that way,since you hardly ever bake your own bread.Besides,everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them!But though we no longer make our food from scratch(起点),some customs have been kept—that’s why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!
Many people of our nation are still working as farmers,eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more.It’s widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place.In most homes in Poland,especially those of farmers,the whole family would try and have their meals together—extremely difficult now,but so rewarding(值得)!You can share other members’ troubles and successes,give your children some attention,or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life aimlessly.Furthermore,your body,and stomach in particular will be very grateful(感激) for such a time!
In Poland,a wedding,Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal.Women in the house get together and cook,sometimes for a few days before the event,and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.
You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country.What’s more,almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 21 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 22 in good health, or 23 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 24 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 25 the title. Therefore, the scissors（剪刀）would 26 before they start, 27 halfway done when I find out the 28 result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 29 .You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be 30 up. But you know the future is unpredictable（不可预料）—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 31 .Thus you are 32 in a difficult position and feel sad. How 33 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 34 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 35 is like: we are often 36 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 37 we get into another. The latter may be more important than the 38 and give rise to a divided mind. I 39 remember a philosopher’s remarks:“When one door shuts, another opens in life.”So a casual（不经意） 40 may not be a bad one.
