第二节 完型填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)
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 36 side is as much interesting. It may be a
discussion of the way to 37 in good health, or 38 about how to behave and conduct oneself
in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 39 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping
the text 40 the title. Therefore, the scissors would 41 before they start, 42
halfway done when I find
out the 43 result.
Sometimes two
things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 44
. You can only take up one of them, the other
has to wait or be 45 up. But you know the future is
unpredictable -- the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 46 . Thus you are 47 in a difficult position and feel sad. How
48 that nice chances and brilliant ideas
should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 49 greatly on your preference of one choice
to the other.
In fact that is
what 50 is like: we are often 51 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 52 we get into another. The 53 may be more important than the latter and
give rise to a divided mind. I 54 remember a philosopher's remarks:
"When one door shuts, another opens in life. " So a casual 55 may not be a bad one.
