完形填空。     As King Parveez and Queen Shireen were sitting in their palace one day, a fisherman who was selling
beautiful fish was brought in front of them. King Parveez decided to    1   a fish and gave the fisherman
4,000 dirham for it.
     The fisherman was wild with   2 . He thanked King Parveez and left.
     Queen Shireen turned to her husband in anger and    3    him for paying so much for a fish. The king
said that the fish was purchased and that there was    4    that could be done about it.
        5   , Queen Shireen insisted that the fisherman should be    6   . She said, "We will ask the fisherman
about the    7    of the fish. If he answers it is female, we will say we want a male fish and if he replies it is
male, we will say we want a female fish! Either way, we will be able t

o return the fish and have our    8
back."
     So the poor fisherman was called back and was asked the question.
     Fortunately, he was   9 enough not to be caught out. The fisherman replied, "This fish is
  10    in the sense that it is neither male nor female."
     King Parveez was so   11    by the wisdom of the man that he  12    a further 4,000 dirham to be paid
to him. The fisherman thanked King Parveez     13 , but as he was about to
leave with the heavy bag of money, one of the  14   fell onto

the floor. The fisherman 15 bent

down to
look for the coin.
     "Look how greedy this man is!" Queen Shireen   16   . "One coin has fallen out of his money bag and
he searches for it instead of leaving it for some other poor    17      in the palace
to find."
     The fisherman heard this   18    and said, "It is not out of greediness that I search for the coin but rather
because it had the picture of    19    King Parveez on it. I would not   20 anyone to step on the coin."

     Two men, Alan and Henry, both seriously ill, shared a hospital room. Alan was allowed to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room"s only window. Henry had to spend all his time flat on his back.
     The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon
when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his
roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their
model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all these, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the
scene.
     One warm afternoon Alan described a parade (游行) passing by. Although Henry could not
hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, an alien  thought entered his head: Why should
he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It doesn"t seem fair. Henry
felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy grew and soon
let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window- and that thought
now control his life.
     Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, Alan began to cough. He was choking. Henry watched
in the dim room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from
across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have called for a nurse. In
less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there
was only silence- deathly silence.
     As soon as it seemed appropriate, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse
was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
     Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all
himself. He would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a blank wall.

1. Judging from the passage, the meaning of the underlined word "alien" in Paragraph 3 is "_____ ".

A. disappointing
B. sudden
C. new
D. strange

2. What finally happened to Alan?

A. He was moved to another room.
B. He died.
C. He switched his bed with Henry.
D. He was very sick

3. Henry, who had his bed switched, had expected .

A. to see the blank wall
B. to feel the joy of seeing the outside world
C. to feel the joy of breathing fresh air
D. to see more than Alan

4. Which of the following words could be used to describe Alan?

A. Kind-hearted and imaginative.
B. Well- informed and humorous
C. Talkative and funny
D. Cold-hearted and indifferent

     Bobby was sitting out in his back yard in the snow. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in
them. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother"s Christmas gift.

and I"ll see what I can do for you."
      The shop owner returned holding red roses all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby"s heart
sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. "That will be ten cents, young man," said the
shop owner, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.
     Then the shopkeeper"s wife appeared. "Where are the roses you were fixing?"
     The shop owner replied, "A strange thing happened to me this morning. I thought I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. I wasn"t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew who that voice was."

     A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so
absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and
all her money for the trip.
     The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of that dark street. She cursed
the world for being so mean to her, and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.
That very same night, she heard some shocking news.Tears flowed down her face.Flight 230,which was
the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed.If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important-her life.
     Sometimes bad things really happen.We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others.There
are times when nothing seems to go our way.
     So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding "No!" We
must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we
deserve.
     Don"t waste your time and energy on things that can"t be changed.Continuous worrying will only affect
your health and you"ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
     What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?
     There was a man who won the lottery.He thought he was the luckiest person in the world.He became
greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.
     One day, he made it to the front page of the newspaper again.But this time, it was a different story.He
had been killed because of his riches.
     If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it.Hope for protection and guidance.Life is
so unpredictable.You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time.we sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble.We ask
ourselves: "What if I don"t get this done in time?" or "What if my family leaves me and I"ve got no one else
to turn to?"
     Live for the moment.Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine.
Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says: "The power is yours!"
