I had  14  almost a mile before I finally found a big house near the road. I was           15  to see it because it was starting to get dark. I  16  at the door and a little old lady with long white hair answered. She said, “I have been  17  for you a long time. Come in. Tea is almost ready.”
“But I only came for some petrol.” I answered. I couldn’t  18  what she was talking about.
“Oh, Alfred! Petrol? You used to  19  tea.”
I quickly  20  that I needed some petrol, but she didn’t seem to hear me. She just kept calling me Alfred and talking about how long it had been since she had seen me. She was acting very strangely and I was  21  to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I could.  22  , there was another house down the road and I was able to buy several gallons of petrol. When I told the man about my  23 . He said,“Oh, that is Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house. She’s  24  but she wouldn’t hurt anyone. She is still waiting for the man she was supposed to marry thirty years ago. The day before their  25  he left home and never came back because of the war.”

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most of us lead a busy life.  【小题1】 We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?
Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings.  【小题2】 “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains. “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”
Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example.  【小题3】 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.
Thirdly, don’t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them?  【小题4】 As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.” 【小题5】

A.I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.
B.In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.
C.Driven by the “urgent”, we forget to enjoy life.
D.So please treasure relationship.
E. You don’t need to travel far to find beauty.
F. Be aware of beauty in nature.
G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.
