A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the  36  was he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of  37  as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to  38  in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the  39  of the rescue.

It is almost  40  that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his  41  : “First of all I checked up my  42  conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no  43  to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from  44  . In this way I dozed(打盹)off. ”

His story put an end to my regret for the  45  of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men  46  to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 47  to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of  48  . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the  49  people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the  50  of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to  51  themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering(闪烁)not far away.

Don’t you think that you can compare it with  52  itself? When you meet with obstacles in life and work, you are lost in darkness. 53  you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle  54  . It seems to be a negative attitude,   55  a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.

I’m a 20-year-old boy, and the following is my story.

A month after I graduated from high school in August, 2007, I was coming home from swim practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.

I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn’t open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around. At that time, it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.

After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After I spent a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run. When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again. After having a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.

By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

67. The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph 2 probably has the meaning of “_______”.

68. According to Paragraph 3, it can be inferred that the author _______.

   A. was unable to talk or communicate        B. was in despair

   C. faced physical and mental challenges       D. felt anxious about his state

69. What is the correct order of the following events?

     a. went to outpatient therapy

     b. received membership of the swim team

     c. was pushed around to visit other patients

     d. walked like a baby

     e. learnt to live all by himself

   A. d、a、c、b、e                       B. e、c、d、a、b

   C. d、c、a、b、e                       D. e、c、a、d、b

70. The best title for the passage would be “_______”.

   A. Attitude(态度) is everything                  B. Actions speak louder than words

   C. Everything happens for a reason         D. A good beginning is half done
