8．完形填空
Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to 1 our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or 2 It's our decision: from which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in 3 or down in desperation?
I believe in the upward look. I choose to 4 the positive and skip right over the negative.
An optimistic attitude is not a luxury(奢侈品); it's a(n) 5 The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people.
6 negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations
7 themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.
Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “ How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n) 8 question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You don't look well,” he replied. This 9 me completely by surprise. A little 10 confidently, I told him that I had 11 felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.
By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little 12 About a block away, I
13 over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was every all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I 14 some rare disease?
On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling 15 again, Ifigured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful 16 and the light reflecting 17 the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I wondered how many other folks had 18 the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total 19 change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single 20 observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.
The only thing more powerful than negativism is a word of optimism and hope. When a whole culture adopts an upward look, incredible things can be accomplished.
1. A. shape B. decide C. preview D. transform
2. A. forgive B. curse C. praise D. regret

Communication with a Stranger
Last weekend I sat on the bus talking with excitement and so ready to spend time in New York City with one of my best friends from college. As I took the window seat and 1 headphones over ears, I almost didn't notice the elderly man sitting beside me.
Two hours passed and I was still absorbed in my own world. 2 the elderly man asked me
a question, a simple question 3 the bus's Wi-Fi connection, which turned into a two- hour
4 . In fact, it directly
5 my personal life.
We talked a lot about my dreams, my fears and my life. I 6 more with this stranger on the bus than I have with any friend or family member in months. Maybe it had something to do with me just being 7 to let anyone I know close to me. I was 8 that the stranger was not only so deeply interested in getting to know me, but also just as willing to 9 me to my greatest abilities. He listened carefully to every word I said and made some useful 10 at times. Instead of politely 11 his head when I mentioned my major, he told me that my strong liking seemed to be psychology, but not the one I was studying. He said that he knew I would face difficulties if I studied psychology and that he fully understood my 12 for the failure.
This elderly man made me 13 the plans that I had laid out for my life with just that simple statement. He helped me realize that my neatly 14 plan for the next five years of my life wasn't all that neat, but actually complex and filled with 15 . Most of all, he helped me 16 the complex, not stay away from it because of my fear for the unknown. I 17 a lot from talking with the elderly stranger.
A few days later, he emailed me, saying, "I think you're 18 for great things no matter what you decide to do." The email was filled with words of 19 . In a few hours a stranger showed me a sense of kindness that made me realize that life is sometimes 20 but it is going to be okay.
