A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
Walking up to a department store’s cloth counter, a(n) 26 young woman said,“I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”
“Only one 27 per yard,” replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
Not to be 28 back by the funny words, the woman said,” That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”
With 29 written all over his face, the clerk 30 measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly(戏弄地 ), 31 forward to receive his “ 32 ”.
The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and 33 to a little old man standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,” she 34 .
He was no 35 disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are 36 when others do not 37 their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be 38 .These three particular 39 and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:
1.Expect too much 40 .When others say,“Thank you,” or in any way to show their gratitude, be 41 . It is a gift!
2.Expect others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and 42 your joy with others.
3. Expect not to be 43 . At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need. 44 them and move on.

【解析】
试题分析:在现实生活中,人们往往因为很多不切实际的期望而感到失望不开心。在文中,作者先是讲述了一个小故事以此来证明在人们中普遍存在的这种现象,然后指出人们思想中的三种不现实不健康的期望,建议人们如果想要开心快乐,就要摈弃这些不现实不该有的期望,那么幸福快乐马上就会到来。
1.B形容词辨析。A狡猾的,难对付的;B吸引人的,性感的;C 难看的;D慷慨大方的。从情理推测,男店员应该是看到女顾客漂亮迷人所以才会有了这种不该有的荒唐念头,所以B选项正确。
2.A名词辨析。A 吻;B工资,薪水;C 美元;D 美分。文章中心是讲人们不要有不现实的期望,由此推测男店员应该是做出了超出常理的要求。故可以排除B,C,D选项。选A。句意:男店员自鸣得意的说“仅仅一个吻一码”。
3.D动词辨析。A移动,搬动;B强迫;C战斗,打斗;D带走。从故事发展可知女顾客并没有因为男店员的要求而退缩,所以从语义搭配上D选项正确。
4.C名词辨析。A 幸福;B愉快,乐趣;C期望;D勇气。从上文可知女顾客答应了店员的非份要求,所以此时店员是满怀期待,脸上写满了期望。故C选项正确。
5.A副词辨析。A匆忙地;B缓慢地C耐心地;D好奇地。从情理推测可知男店员为了尽快获得他所期望的,应该是匆忙迅速地做完一切,然后满脸期望的等待自己所要求的“吻”,所以A选项正确。
6.C动词辨析。A放;安排;B坐;C倾斜;D 带,拿。forward意思为“向前”从该词的提示和情理可知店员是前倾身体来接受到他所要求的支付布料的“吻”,所以男店员是凑上前去,故C选项正确。
7.B名词辨析。A 回报;B支付,报偿;C津贴,红利;D钱。从上文可知他不要钱而是要求女顾客kiss 他来支付布料的钱,所以此处用“payment”表示女顾客该支付给他的东西,故B选项正确。
8.C动词辨析。A倾向;B 支付;C 指向;D 点头。从语境可知女顾客应该是指着身边的老人,向男店员说话,所以C选项正确。句意:那位女士迅速从店员手里接过包好的布料,然后指着站在她身边的老人说。。。
9.A动词辨析。A微笑;B 祈求;C 挥手;D想到。从故事可知女顾客自信成功而且不动声色得给了这个男店员一个教训,所以此时应该是优雅得体得微笑着和男店员说话,所以A选项正确。
10.D名词辨析。A 奇迹;B 用途;C好处;D 怀疑。此处的名词应该和句中no的进行搭配,no wonder 难怪;no use没用; no good没好处; no doubt毫无疑问。所以从故事结果可知男店员没有得到钱也没得到他所期望的吻,他应该毫无疑问的感到失望。故D选项正确。
11.B形容词辨析。A 受到鼓励的;B失望的;C恼火的;D惊讶的。文章开头首句A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.就讲了人们因为不现实的期望而容易失望,然后用文中的小故事来作为例证,所以此处应该是失望的,B为正确选项。
12.A动词短语辨析。A 不辜负;B 违背;C 没有。。。而勉强应付;D希望。从上文的故事和后面作者的建议可知,人们是因为别人不能满足或者达不到自己的期望而失望,live up to one’s expectations意思是“达到某人期望,不辜负某人期望”,所以A选项正确。
13.C动词辨析。A 设置,放;B 使得,制作;C 放下,放弃;D完成。从下文Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more…判断作者应该是建议人们为了开心快乐要放弃不现实的期望,所以C选项正确。
14.D形容词辨析。A合理的;B 恰当的;C 不重要的;D 不现实的。从上下文可知作者在文中提到的就是人们因为不现实的期望和不该有的期望而感到失望,如文章首句A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.和文章末句 Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations 。所以正确选项是D。
15.A名词辨析。A利润;B吻;C 感激,欣赏;D 失望。从上文可知此处是作者指出的不该有的期望,所以当你帮助了别人时,不要期望得到回报,不要期望因你帮助了别人而获益,所以A选项正确。
16.A形容词辨析。A高兴的;B 难过的;C 生气的;D 激动的。作者建议人们为了快乐而应该放弃那些不该有的不切实际的期望,所以哪怕是别人一句简单的‘谢谢’也要感到快乐。A选项正确。
17.B动词辨析。A 抽出,匀出;B分享,分担;C 使得,制作;D 控制。从词的搭配上只有share与with搭配表示“与…分享,分担”的意思。此处是指要让自己快乐,并且要把快乐与别人分享。所以B选项正确。
18.B动词短语辨析。A放下B让人失望;C 写下,拿下;D扔下。文章说的是不现实的期望是让人失望的根源,只有let down 意思符合语境,句意:期望别人不要让自己失望。所以B选项正确。
19.A动词辨析。A 忘记;B惩罚;C责怪;D 表扬。从上文可知作者建议人们要放弃那些不切实际的希望,所以对于没能按照你心意和需要做事的人要忽略掉,忘记掉,这样才可以使自己开心快乐,所以A选项正确。
20.A名词辨析。A 幸福,快乐;B 鼓励;C 刺激,兴奋;D 骄傲。文章中心就是讲人们要为了开心快乐,而必须放弃不现实的期望,所以A选项正确。

It turned out that I did get a 52 present from the radio station and its sponsor(赞助商). And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a piece of coal(煤).

When his mother came in, 41 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful 42 you have made! I have 43 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 44 . Would you like to get down and 45 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to 46 everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.
His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a 47 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 48 hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he 49 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50 !
This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be 51 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 52 for learning something new, which is, 53 , what scientific experiments are all about.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
