第二节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)

I hadn’t really planned on taking a trip this time of year, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. I knew in 41 that this trip was going to be unpleasant.

I’m talking about my annual “Guilt Trip”. I got tickets to fly there on “Wish-I-Had” airlines. I 42 my baggage all the way, which was weighted down with a thousand43 of “what might have been”. No one greeted me at the “Regret City” International Airport.

As I 44 into the Last Resort Hotel, I noticed they would be 45 the year’s most important event, the annual “Pity Party”. I wasn’t going to miss that great 46 occasion.

Many leading citizens went there. First, there was the ‘Should-Have-Done” family. 47 came the “I-Wish” family. Of course, the “Opportunities” family, “Missed and Lost”, surely made an 48. They each had a sad story to share. “It’s-Their-Fault” treated us with stories about 49 things had failed in his life, and each story was applauded by “Don’t-Blame-Me” and “I-Couldn’t-Help-It”.

To make a long 50 short, I became very depressed at the party 51.

But as I thought about all the stories of failures 52 from the past, it occurred to me that all of this trip and the “Pity Party” could have been cancelled by ME!

I truly realized that I didn’t have to be there to be 53. One thing kept going through my mind----I can’t change yesterday, but I 54 have the power to make today a wonderful day. Knowing this, I left “Regret City” immediately. Am I sorry for 55 I’ve made in past? Yes! But there is no way to undo them.

So, if you’re planning a trip to “Regret City”, please cancel all your reservations now. 56, take a trip to a place called “Starting Again”, which I like so much that I’ve made it my 57 residence(住处). My neighbors, the “I-Forgive-Myself” and the “New-Starts” are very helpful.

By the way, you don’t have to carry 58 heavy baggage, because the load is lifted from your shoulders 59 arrival. Surely you’ll find this great town----it’s in your own heart. Look me up if you’re ready for a (n) 60 change in your life. I live on “I-Can-Do-It” Street.
