it used to take hours to _6_ him once he began a conversation. i was not at all _7_ when he went to live in another part of london. we had not met since then, _8_ did i wish to meet him now, when _9_ was about to begin.luckily at that moment he was _10_ busy talking to the man opposite him to catch sight of me. i slipped back into my compartment, took down my two suitcases and carried them to the far end of the corridor so as to be ready to _11_ the train as soon as it stopped the moment the train came to a halt (停止), i called a porter, who in no time at all had carried my luggage out of the station and _12_ me a taxi. as i drove towards my small hotel on the outskirts of the town, i breathed a deep sigh of relief at my_13_. there was little chance that i should _14_ my boring ex-neighbor again.when i reached the hotel, i went _15_ to my room and rested there until it was time for dinner. then i went down to the dining room and _16_ a drink. i had barely raised the glass to my lips _17_ an all too familiar voice greeted me. i had not escaped from the tiresome neighbor _18_! he grasped me warmly by the hand and insisted that we _19_ a table in the dinning-room. “this is a pleasant _20_,” he said “i never expected to see you again after all these years.”1areach bextend cstretch dloosen2aexchanging bchanging ctalking through dtalking about3afruit stand bdepartment store cbus stopdstation platform4athe station bmy seat cthe waiting room dthe office5atalker bpoet cspeaker dhero6aget rid of btake care of cget away from dpay attention to7ahappy bafraid csorry dcontent8aso bno cnot dnor9aholiday bschool day cwork day dconversation10averybtoocsodmuch11aget on bstay onccatch dget off12afound bgave coffereddstopped13agood luck bnice choice cnarrow escape dbad fortune14akeep in touch with b run intocknock down d catch up with15acarelessly baimlessly cidlydstraight16aordered brequestedcfetched dasked17awhile bbefore cwhen dafter18aabove all bafter all cfirst of all din all19aspare brent creserve dshare20asurprise binterview cappointmentdparty20. people do not analyze every problem they meet. sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. they often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 ,when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. there are six 3 in analyzing a problem. 4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. for example, sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. sam must 5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.next the person must find the problem. before sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. for example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. for example, suppose sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.after 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. take sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.in the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. he 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.finally the solution is 20 .sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. in short he has solved the problem.1.a.seriousb.usualc.similard.common2.a.besidesb.insteadc.otherwised.however3.a.waysb.conditionsc.stagesd.orders4.a.firstb.usuallyc.in generald.most importantly5.a.explainb.provec.showd.see6.a.checkb.determinec.correctd.recover7.a.answersb.skillsc.explanationd.information8.a.possibleb.exactc.reald.special9.a.in other wordsb.once in a whilec.first of alld.at this time10.a.look forb.talk toc.agree withd.depend on11.a.discussingb.settling downc.comparing withd.studying12.a.extrab.enoughc.severald.countless13.a.secondlyb.againc.alsod.alone 14.a.suggestionb.conclusionc.decisiond.discovery15.a.nextb.clearc.finald.new16.a.unexpectedlyb.latec.clearlyd.often17.a.simpleb.differentc.quickd.sudden18.a.fortunatelyb.easilyc.clearlyd.immediately19.a.cleanb.separatec.loosend.remove20.a.recordedb.completedc.testedd.accepted21. the other day as i talked with a friend i 1 a story that i heard this summer.”an 2 person, seeing a butterfly struggling to free itself from its cocoon, and wanting to help, very 3 loosed the filaments (细丝) to form a(n) 4 . the butterfly was freed, got out of the 5 , and moved its wings about 6 could not fly. what the sympathetic person did not know was that only through the 7 struggle can the wings grow strong enough for flight. its shortened life was spent 8 ; it never knew freedom, 9 really lived.”i call it learning to love with an open hand. it is a 10 which has come slowly to me and has been wrought (锤炼) in the fires of pain and in the waters of patience. i am learning that i must 11 the one i love, for if i hold firmly and try to control , i shall lose what i try to control 12 .as i learn and practice more and more, i can say to the one i love, “i love you, i value you, i respect you and i trust that you have the 13 to become all that it is possible for you to become if i dont 14 your way. i love you so much that i can set you free to walk beside me in 15 and in sadness. i will 16 your tears but i will not ask you not to cry. i will care and 17 you, but i will not hold you up when you can walk alone. i will try to listen to your meaning 18 your word, but i shall not always agree. i can not 19 be with you or hear what you say for there are times 20 i must listen to myself and care for myself.”1. a. created b. recalledc. wrote d. repeated2. a. sympathetic b. curiousc. apologetic d. angry3. a. kindly b. carefullyc. cautiouslyd. gently4. a. closing b. openingc. admissiond. permission5. a. filamentsb. wingsc. cocoond. shell6. a. andb. orc. butd. while7. a. faithb. birthc. deathd. worth8. a. on the groundb. in the airc. in the waterd. in the trees9. a. everb. alwaysc. constantlyd. never10. a. practicingb. learningc. strugglingd. teaching11. a. freeb. praisec. valued. open12. a. winb. lovec. earnd. hold13. a. confidenceb. willc. strengthd. courage14. a. get inb. get out ofc. get away fromd. get off15. a. disappointmentb. wonderc. fund. joy16. a. enjoyb. sympathizec. shared. criticize17. a. attendb. comfortc. trus
