I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show.

It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.

On that day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, s　 1. on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him b2.　 .

But in some ways he was d 3.　 . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing h 4.　　 to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.

“ Mum, why does that man have A、radio even thought he’s homeless?” I asked.

“He bought it,” she replied.

“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He w 5.　 it on something he doesn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.”

That man must c 6.　 　 enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k 7.　 to life.

Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.

九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）． I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.

The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.

I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"

He looked it over carefully and said,- "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"

“Twenty pounds," I said.

“OK," he said, "I'll give you twenty pounds."

“It's got a slightly broken leg," I said.

‘'Yes, I saw that, it's nothing."

Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.

“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."

“I'll buy it," I said.

“What do you mean? You've just sold it to me," he said.

"Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."

“You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."

“You're right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, 'Would you repair this chair for me?"'

“I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

1.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.

C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair       D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
