完形填空
Just 10 years ago, I sat across the desk from a. 1 .“Yes,”he said,“there is something wrong with the left, upper lobe ( 肺 叶 ) .You have a 2 advanced
case You'll haveto 3 work at once and go to bed.Later on, we'll see.”He
gave no 4
Feeling like a man who is in mid-career has suddenly been placed under 5 of death,I left the doctor's office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a 6
I needed to think. In the next 3 days, I cleared up my 7 ,then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. Two years later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was. 8 year before I made it.
I speak of this 9 because these years that passed so slowly taught me what to 10 and what to believe. I realize now that this world I'm living in is not my oyster(牡蛎)to be 11 but my opportunity to be grasped.Each day, to me, is a 12 entity. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours--not to pass, but to fill.
I've learned to 13 those little, all important things I never thought I had the time to 14 before: the play of light on running water, the music of the wind in my favourite pine tree.I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered 15 of childhood. How well, for instance, I recall the touch of the springy 16 under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was almost more than I 17 bear. It was like regaining one's citizenship in a world one had nearly lost.
Frequently,I sit back and say to myself,“Let me make note of this 18 I'm living right now, because in it I'm well, happy and hard at work doing what I like best to do.It won't always be like this, so while it is, I'll make the most of it--and afterwards,I remember--and be 19 . All this, I owe to that long time spent on the sidelines of life.”Wiser people come to this 20 without having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn't wise enough. I'm wiser now, a little, and happier.
