For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

  Life is full of decisions.You may not realize the vast number of choices you face each day.Some choices are simple, like what to wear.But others are more   1  :deciding which friend to go out with or whether to go out at all.Life’s most difficult decisions   2   choosing a university, a career and a husband or wife.

  For some people, decision-making comes pretty easily.  3   others, indecision is a serious problem that can stop them dead.

  Think about the last time you went to a coffee shop.Ordering your coffee should have been a simple task, but it probably   4   at least four decisions.Your   5   today has more opportunities, more choices and more options than ever before! Thirty-one ice cream flavors, 30-screen movie theaters, 300 cable channels and 3,000 songs on an ipod all   6   one thing---a more complicated life.The more choices you have, the harder it is to decide.

  Indecisiveness leads to negative   7  .Hesitation in buying sale items results in paying more later.Indecision can   8   result in missed opportunities.Boss may notice   9   and give an important project to someone more eager.Family, friends and coworkers may get tired of waiting for your decisions.

  Not making a decision means you allow   10   to be made for you---choices that you yourself might not like.Increased stress can result.

  There are many reasons why people struggle with decisions.Some people fear others’ opinions, and they worry that someone may be   11   by their decision.Others fear the consequences of a wrong choice.This prevents them from making any choice at all.Still others   12   about finding the perfect choice.  13   ,there’s no perfect choice.Every option has its pros and cons.

  The good news is that with each decision you make, the   14   does get easier.And best of all…You’ll soon learn to trust yourself and your   15

完形填空

  An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.He told his boss of his plans to   1   the house business and live an easier life with his wife enjoying his   2   family, looking after their grandchildren.He would miss the   3  , but he really needed to   4  

  The boss was sorry to see his   5   worker go and asked if he could build just one   6   house as a personal favor.The carpenter agreed, but   7   it was easy to see that his heart was   8   in his work.He applied poor workmanship and used bad materials.It was a(n)  9   way to end his career.

  When the carpenter finished his work and the boss came to   10   the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter.“This is your house,” he said, “my   11   to you.”

  What a shame! If he had   12   known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.Now he has to live in the home he had built none too   13  

  So it is   14   us.We build our lives in an absent minded way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up   15   than the best.At important points we do not give the job our best   16  .Then with a shame we fall into the   17   we have created and   18   that we are now living in the “house” we have   19  .If we had realized it, we should have done it   20  

  Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past.Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices of today.
