　　Cloze Test

　　A

　　It was my son’s 10th birthday. He was so excited because the

　　1

　　he desired finally arrived. When he looked at the

　　2

　　box, he guessed that it contained a basketball or something like the remote control aircraft that he had long been

　　3

　　. But after he joyfully opened it and dug through three sheets of bubble wrap (气泡垫) and millions of pieces of Styrofoam (泡沫塑料), he

　　4

　　a cardboard and colorful plastic paper package of pencils. His heart sunk. He was very

　　5

　　. So was I. It was not because of the pencils but the

　　6

　　! We need to do something about too much packaging.

　　First of all we create too much

　　7

　　with the unused packaging. The cardboard boxes used for shipping

　　8

　　1/3 of the U.S. solid waste. I do

　　9

　　that some breakable products need to be

　　10

　　with extra packaging, but pencils aren’t that breakable.

　　That

　　11

　　packaging brings me to my next topic — cutting down on packaging. According to the Environmental Defense Fund,

　　12

　　we cut down the use of packaging from 100 tons to 90 tons, we can

　　13

　　more than 5,372 pounds of waste and more than 34,000 pounds of CO2 equivalent (当量). That makes a big

　　14

　　. What I am saying is that cutting down on packaging

　　15

　　makes things better.

　　Finally cutting down on packaging helps companies reduce

　　16

　　! Most products people buy over the Internet are pretty small,

　　17

　　the company that is shipping that product can just buy the small size box for that product, which will save money. As a final point we should require people to

　　18

　　packaging since some of them are still useful so that we can have a cleaner

　　19

　　, save money, and even have less solid waste. I think we should take action now and cut down on packaging

　　20

　　for the good of the world.

　　B

　　It was well after midnight, I stood silently staring out of the ninth floor window of the New York hospital. At 9 a.m., I was

　　1

　　into an operating room. After an eleven-hour

　　2

　　I was put into a recovery room. It was then that I first

　　3

　　him. He was so

　　4

　　and stood in the doorway of the recovery room. He sent out sympathy and

　　5

　　to me.

　　The man would be standing in the doorway, smiling and nodding

　　6

　　I would pass with one or more members of my family. On the fourth week I was allowed to walk up the corridor(走廊)

　　7

　　. As I passed his room, I stopped a minute to

　　8

　　. He introduced me to his wife and his son who was

　　9

　　in a hospital bed. He explained that he and his wife had brought their

　　10

　　to this hospital of hope from Iran. They were still

　　11

　　but things were not going well. For three more weeks we

　　12

　　our conversations, each giving the other the gift of caring and friendship.

　　There did come a day when the doctor told me I could

　　13

　　the hospital the following morning. The next morning he came to my room. I told him I would pray for his son. He

　　14

　　me but shrugged(耸肩) indicating the hopelessness. This man in his sorrow was so

　　15

　　for me. I could feel his

　　16

　　. As I turned to walk down the corridor to the elevator, he was delighted and stood in the doorway, smiling, nodding and giving

　　17

　　blessing.

　　Fifteen years have passed and I think of him

　　18

　　and he is always in my heart as I feel I am in his. I think it is because when we face the

　　19 , our hearts and souls are open to those around us and we are able to accept the love and

　　20

　　of others, almost freely and thankfully as children accept love.
