　　Cloze Test

　　A

　　I sat on the sofa on Saturday afternoon with an ear toward the door, waiting for our dog Archie to come in. He loved our yard. The

　　1

　　we’d put in the yard was the best thing to keep him from going out. It was not necessary to

　　2

　　Archie to keep him away from the mountain road we lived on. It was

　　3

　　for animals to appear on the road because of fast traffic.

　　Archie had many dogs he

　　4

　　with at the park where he was always excited.

　　5

　　, at home he wasn抰 so happy. We joked that he was

　　6

　　a lap dog (哈巴狗). He was very

　　7

　　and would curl up on the floor like a fur ball right beside me while I was sitting, and kept my

　　8

　　warm.

　　I turned my head to the window facing the road when I heard a woman call out. “Someone’s

　　9

　　is in the middle of the road.” The woman called from her car. She didn’t honk (按喇叭) so as not to

　　10

　　the dog. I supposed she is a real animal

　　11

　　.

　　Wait! Archie? I ran out of the house.

　　12

　　enough, there he was, sitting on the yellow line, keeping his brown head hung low as if he knew that he had made a

　　13

　　. “Archie, boy, what are you doing out here? How did you get out?” I

　　14

　　him up in my arms and he didn’t bark.

　　揑 love animals,?the woman said. 揑

　　15

　　go extra slow in this neighborhood, careful to

　　16

　　deer and foxes, even those little squirrels ( th松鼠). I love them all.” “I am so

　　17

　　that it was you driving by. To think what could have

　　18

　　if it had been anyone else,” I said.

　　When we got home, Archie led me to the

　　19

　　in the fence, from which he went out and waited patiently while I

　　20

　　it to prevent him from running out again.

　　B

　　My life was running smoothly last year when the universe delivered wake-up calls one after another. First, I

　　1

　　my job when the magazine I edited went bankrupt (破产的). A month later, my

　　2

　　landed in the intensive care unit (重症监护室). It felt as though life were

　　3

　　my layers.

　　Not knowing what to do, I didn’t go back to my

　　4

　　but drove to my parents’ house. Their vulnerability (脆弱) terrified me. I

　　5

　　my father at the hospital every day, trying to

　　6

　　tears as I stood awkwardly by his bed. At home, I kept myself

　　7

　　, cooking, washing the dishes, and cleaning the house. One afternoon, I held my mother’s hand as she wept. Suddenly, I felt

　　8

　　to have the time to be with my parents, to

　　9

　　them, which I wouldn’t have been able to do

　　10

　　I hadn’t lost my job.

　　I felt

　　11

　　for this gift of time when my father returned home, for the

　　12

　　things: watching TV with him, chatting with him and listening to his breathing while he slept and for my mother’s

　　13

　　.

　　Looking back, I would never have chosen the

　　14

　　of my father’s illness and losing the work I loved. But my parents’ vulnerability — and my own —

　　15

　　me less these days. Gratitude (感恩) opened the gates of love — right in the midst(中间) of

　　16

　　and uncertainty.

　　Since then, I’ve started making a

　　17

　　effort to practice gratitude in some small way every day. When I do, I feel much more connected with the flow of life, instead of feeling

　　18

　　in my own struggles and fears.

　　For me, gratitude can be a powerful

　　19

　　, just as some psychologists have found that practicing gratitude can actually
