The Waste of Worry
Do you remember being afraid of monsters at night as a child? But as you grow up, you know that there are no monsters, right? We always have f【1】 and worries about things that are not real. The crazy thing is that worry and fear make you r【2】 from something that isn’t even chasing you.
England’s former Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, said that whenever he started to worry, he’d remember a man who said on his death bed “I’ve had a lot of t【3】 in my life—and most of it never h【4】!” You see, it’s not work that kills people, but worry.
When you fear the future, you’re w【5】 the presents. Worry seems like a rocking chair: it k【6】 you going, but you don’t get anywhere! And if you can’t help worrying, remember that worrying can’t help you e【7】.
If you’re fearful, you’ll find something to be fearful about. That’s w【8】 the former American President, Franklin Roosevelt, said: “The o【9】 thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
Many of us are afraid of what others think; but if we knew how s【10】 they think about us, we’d know we needn’t worry.
So whatever you’re afraid of or worrying about, ask yourself, “Is it real? And if it is real, how will worrying about it help me? Is it something I can change? If not, how can I best deal with it?”

【1】 fears
【2】 run
【3】 trouble
【4】 happened
【5】 wasting
【6】 keeps
【7】 either
【8】 why
【9】 only
【10】 suddenly/seldom
【解析】
短文大意:本文是议论文,以伟人丘吉尔的经历和罗斯福的名言为据,论证了人们所恐惧和担心的事情通常并不是真实的,提出了无谓的担心就是浪费的观点。
【1】句意:我们总是害怕和担心那些不真实的事情。worry about担心;and连接并列结构,根据and worries about things that are not real.和首字母提示,可知填fears。
【2】句意:疯狂的事情是担心和恐惧使你逃避那些甚至没有追逐你的事情。run from逃避,飞奔以逃离;根据句意语境和首字母提示,可知填run。
【3】句意:我一生中遇到了很多麻烦……a lot of许多的,后接名词;根据句意语境和首字母提示,可知填trouble。
【4】句意:我一生中遇到了很多麻烦,而且绝大多数都没有发生过!never从没有,表否定;根据句意语境和首字母提示,可知填happened。
【5】句意:当你害怕未来时,你正在浪费当前。主句缺谓语动词,根据主题The Waste of Worry,结合句意结构和首字母提示,可知用现在进行时,故填wasting。
【6】句意:烦恼就像摇椅:它让你继续前进,但你却一事无成!keep doing something不断地做某事;根据句意语境和首字母提示,可知填keeps。
【7】句意:如果你不由得担心,记住,担心也帮不了你。either也,多用于否定句;根据句意语境和首字母提示,可知填either。
【8】句意:这就是为什么前美国总统富兰克林·罗斯福会说:“我们唯一需要担心的是恐惧本身。”本句是表语从句,解释原因;根据句意语境和首字母提示,可知填why。
【9】句意:这就是为什么前美国总统富兰克林·罗斯福会说:“我们唯一需要担心的是恐惧本身。” we have to fear是thing的定语从句,省略了that;名词thing需用形容词修饰,根据句意结构和语境和首字母提示,可知填only。
【10】句意:我们中的很多人害怕别人的想法,但是如果我们知道他们很少想到我们,我们就知道我们不必担心。本句缺副词状语,根据句意语境和首字母提示,可知填suddenly/seldom。
短文填空题,要求根据句意语境和首字母提示用单词的正确形式填空,使句意通顺,文意连贯。主要考查单词形式,包括名词的单复数和所有格、动词的三单形式、非谓语动词、基数词或序数词,主格代词/宾格代词和物主代词(形容词性物主代词/名词性物主代词)等。这类题目难度不大,重点是掌握句意,在理解的基础上把握句子时态,从而判断所给单词的正确形式。
