【小题14】答案 C [与上文“You are loved”吻合的是“(you are)watched over(得到呵护)”。watch over“看护;照顾”。]

My brother and I were in Orlando Florida to witness our first Space Shuttle Launch. The Discovery was         to soar at 10:14 AM on a blue sky September day. I’d seen it         so many times on television,         now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And it’s the final demonstration of the         of success: Success Takes Off Like a Rocket.
Witnessing the Take Off:
Standing close to the Space Shuttle         home one unforgettable point—the Shuttle is the height of a 15-story building—it         4.5 million pounds—and NASA is trying to lift it 200 miles off the ground. On TV the accomplishments look so much        , so much easier.
Crowds of people are standing around with you to watch the Shuttle go. The countdown begins through the small         of hundreds of portable radios all tuned to the NASA station. It’s enough to get your heart beating        .
When time is up, the side booster rockets are lit up and the eight explosive bolts        . The first things you see are large white         clouds exploding away. Through the steam, you see the fire power. Then the Space Shuttle begins to inch off the pad and climb its way        . Thousands upon millions of pounds of         can hardly lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle picks up and roars into the sky, headed into space attaining a        of over 17,000 mph.
It is within the first two minutes to launch the Space Shuttle that the great success lesson is      . Fact: 85% of the shuttle’s fuel is consumed within the first 2 minutes just to get the 15-story super structure to its orbital        .
And that’s exactly how success        : The first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the         and will require an enormous consumption of energy—a great big push. However,         you persist through the launch period, which can seem almost         for quite some time, everything gets easier and easier and your results get bigger and bigger.

A couple were having a wedding. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely    and all had a wonderful time. The bride was      in her white wedding gown and the groom was very handsome. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a    , “Each of us will write a list of things we find a bit    with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can    them and make our lives happier.” The husband agreed. So they went to think of the things that annoyed them about the other.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided they would go over their   .
“I’ll start,” said the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing.” the husband replied,“   reading your list.”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three    to her husband.
“Now, it’s your turn and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.” she said happily.
      the husband stated,“I don’t have anything on my list. I think you are    the way that you are. I don’t want you to change anything for me.”
The wife    by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the     things before us?
