段落大意：本文是一篇记叙文，文章介绍的是16岁的女孩琳达不幸身患癌症，开始变得意志消沉。她的妈妈去花店给她订了一些鲜花。鲜花店老板送给琳达一张卡片，上面写着自己也曾在15岁时被诊断患了癌症，现在已经24岁了，积极面对生活开了这家花店。琳达看后开始对生活充满希望。
1.由第一段最后一句“Her mother took her to a hospital and the doctors found out that she had cancer .”得知：她妈妈带她去医院检查，医生诊断她身患癌症。所以得出结论：她得了重病才感觉不舒服。故A。
2.由上下文得知：琳达被诊断得了癌症后，她的生活改变了，她开始经常去医院接受治疗，虽然医院和医生都是一流的，但是琳达仍然对生活失去信心。不难判断得出：该词意思为：情绪低落的，消沉的，忧伤的，悲痛的,故C 。
3.由第三、第四段得知：琳达的妈妈去花店给她订了一些鲜花。送来的鲜花旁边有一个卡片, 卡片上写着：“I own  this flower shop . ”，得出结论：是鲜花店老板送给琳达的这张卡片。故C 。
4.由原文倒数第三行“Linda smiled . She finally felt some real hope . She found the will to live.”得知：她微笑了，，她找到了活下去的勇气。她变得对生活充满希望。故A 。
5.通读全文来看，正是花店老板的一张卡片，唤起了身患癌症的小琳达对生活的信心和勇气，由原文最后一段得知：小事情会产生大效果，我们应该给别人诸如善意、勇气和希望等小东西给他人。故B
