(3)前一句提到办公室还没有人,所以她是“第一个”到办公室的。

(4)根据本段倒数第二句话可知,她发现桌子上有一束“花”。

(5)根据本句后半句可知,她是在“闻”花。

(6)文中紧接着说她要把花放进去,还可根据第四段最后一句的提示可知,她是在找“花瓶”。

(7)因为有人送花,她自然是在“开心”地想。

(8)由于不知道花是谁送的,她便开始“琢磨”。

(9)本句提到时间过得很快,并且她又收到了花,所以她是以“极大的”兴趣工作的。

(10)后两段都提到了接下来的每周一,所以此处应该是“本周”接下来的日子。

(11)bury oneself in one’s work为固定搭配,意为“埋头工作”。

(12)此处表示“当她来到办公桌前时”。

(13)文中下一句和倒数第二段最后一句都表明这束花是新的。

(14)根据前后文可知,Nancy把新花放入花瓶,“取代”了旧花。

(15)她连续三周都收到花,可并不知道是谁送的,因此她决定想办法查出这个“送花人”。

(16)根据下文和最后一段可知,她被派到总经理办公室递交一份计划。

(17)根据下一句及介词at可知,她是在经理秘书的“办公桌”旁边等候经理的指示。

(18)表示纸上、书上等地方写着字应该用say

(19)公司给每一位秘书送花,是为了使其保持高昂的工作热情。

(20)从上文可以判断公司是在每周一的早晨给秘书送花的。

My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the 1 or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a 2 Christmas after all.

__3__, the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.

There was a 4 on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 5 us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 6 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had 7 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.

The 8 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.

As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas 9 from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 10 us to dig out.

Then, we received an invitation to 11 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 12 — a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.

Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 13 . Our Christmas morning 14 was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so 15 for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.

This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The 16 and work schedules just made things too difficult. 17 that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were 18 in the holidays.

Lonely people are all around us, but most of us 19 notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest 20 gesture can make a world of difference.

1. A. chance       B. time       C. anxiety     D. ability

2. A. merry       B. free       C. lonely      D. usual

3. A. Therefore      B. Meanwhile    C. Somehow    D. However

4. A. card        B. sign       C. knock      D. note

5. A. welcome      B. invite       C. drive      D. send

6. A. tree        B. package      C. mail       D. flower

7. A. forgot       B. arranged      C. received     D. missed
