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 f1 and worries about things that are not real. The crazy thing is that worry and fear make you r2 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 t3 in my life—and most of it never h4!” You see, it’s not work that kills people, but worry.

When you fear the future, you’re w5 the presents. Worry seems like a rocking chair: it k6 you going, but you don’t get anywhere! And if you can’t help worrying, remember that worrying can’t help you e7.

If you’re fearful, you’ll find something to be fearful about. That’s w8 the former American President, Franklin Roosevelt, said: “The o9 thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

Many of us are afraid of what others think; but if we knew how s10 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。

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 fearthing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。
