第二节 完型填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)
Many adults see teens as
energetic. Many of us see ourselves as proud. This thinking 31 many adults and us, too, to have the idea
that if we can’t handle school or 32 life well, we’re just not trying.
But in my opinion that may
not be 33 .
Earlier this school year, I
was leaving my class one Friday, 34 suddenly it felt like I had
pulled a muscle in my back. I knew I was ill.
After a few days I stopped
eating. This meant I lost 35
; the clothes that I bought two weeks earlier began 36 loose. This time my parents got scared. 37 , I started sleeping less. My
eyelids(眼皮)were constantly 38 .
I refused to 39 that I was ill. I kept my job working 25
hours a week in a shop; I didn’t 40 any classes. When I was hurting, I didn’t
mind and kept on going. 41 it kills you, it makes you stronger,
right?
But now I find myself
thinking. Is it 42 it? I’m taking the classes and writing
for the newspaper because it looks good 43 college applications. And I’m working 25
hours a week so that, once I get into my dream school, I can 44 it.
Here I am, already sick from
the 45 of work I’m doing in and out of school. So,
what good is a(n)46 application if I’m badly ill? What is the
47 of doing this work if I can’t enjoy the
results?
In fact, by writing my 48 I’m telling all the people who 49 much about the future and worry about it
now. This is my warning: Don’t climb the 50 dive if you don’t like the deep end.
