科目:初中英语 来源:2017-2018学年(人教版)八年级下册英语期末复习卷:units7-8 题型:回答问题

One of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before he fell ill he wasn't happy. Happiness was "having the cookie". Only if you had the cookie could things be good.

Unluckily, the cookie kept changing. Some of the time it was money, sometimes power, sometimes fancy things.

A year and a half after his diagnosis(诊断) of cancer, he sits in my office shaking his head. "It's like I stopped learning how to live after I was a kid. When I give my son a cookie, he is happy. If I take the cookie away or it breaks, he is unhappy. But he is 2 years old and I am 43. It has taken me this long to understand that the cookie will never make me happy for long," he says, "The minute you have the cookie, you start to worry about someone trying to take it away from you."

My patient laughs and says cancer has changed him. For the first time he is happy. No matter if his business is doing well or not, no matter if he wins or loses at golf. "Two years ago, cancer asked me, 'What is really important?' Well, life is important—life with the cookie, life without the cookie. Happiness doesn't have anything to do with the cookie; it has something to do with being alive," he pauses thoughtfully, "I guess life is the cookie."

根据短文内容,完成下列小题。每题不多于5个词。

1.What was "the cookie" for the businessman before he fell ill?

______________

2.How does the patient's 2-year-old son feel when he gets a cookie?

3.What makes the patient change his mind to be happy?

______________

4.What question did the patient start to think about after he got cancer?

1.Money, power or fancy things. 2.Happy. / He feels happy. 3.Cancer. / Cancer has changed him. 4.What's really important? 5.Being alive. / To be alive. 【解析】本篇文章难度适中,主要介绍一位成功的商人,生病前认为幸福就...
