It was only a few weeks after my surgery. I went to Dr. Belt’s office for a 36. It was just after my first chemotherapy treatment(化疗). My scar was still very tender.(疼痛的) 37. I was taken to an examination room to have my blood 38, again—a terrifying process for me, since I’m so frightened of 39.

I lay down on the 40. Then Ramona entered the room. Her 41 smile was familiar, and 42  in contrast to my fears. I’d first seen her in the office a few weeks earlier. She wasn’t my   43 on that day, but I remember her because she was laughing. What could she 44 find to laugh about at a time like this? So I decided she wasn’t 45 enough about the whole thing.

But this day was 46. Ramona had taken my blood before. She 47 my fear of needles, and she kindly 48 the medical equipment under a magazine. As we opened the layers of bandage, the 49 scar on my chest could be seen.

She gently 50 over and ran her hand across the scar, 51 the smoothness of the healing skin. I began to cry gently and quietly. She brought her warm eyes to mine and said, “You haven’t 52 it yet, have you?” And I said, “No.”

I continued to cry gently. In 53 tones she said. “This is part of your body. This is you. It’s okay to touch it.” But I couldn’t. So she touched it for me. The 54. The healing wound. And beneath it, she touched my heart.

That night as I lay down, I gently placed my hand on my chest and I left it there 55 I fell asleep. I knew I wasn’t alone.

As I was cutting open the bag, it37from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles, 38everywhere. I tried to use a broom(扫帚), 39with each sweep they just rolled across the kitchen.

For the next week, every time I was in the40, I found a pea—in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept41. Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and4212 frozen peas hidden underneath.

At the time I found those few remaining43, I was in a new relationship with a wonderful44I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded45those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my46had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered(破碎). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble47his new surroundings and the48of his mother. I was a bag of spilled(洒落) frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered(撒开).

When life gets you49, when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never50, remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be51, and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas52, including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them53you’ll start to feel whole again.

The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to54, and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 55will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

A few years ago, my wife, Sue had some serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight. Diets had not helped her and she suffered constantly from undiagnosed pain. One day the whole family sat down and drew up a “wish list”. To our surprise, one of Sue’s items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it.

She began by running very slowly and every day she ran just a little farther than she did the day before. Soon she could run three miles. Then five. Sue kept practicing and longed to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.

On the big day, I parked our van near the finish line, waiting for Sue. The rain was steady and the wind was cold. The marathon had started over five hours ago. The fast and strong competitors had finished already. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry.

Another hour passed and I spotted a small group running up. As they approached, I could see Sue, in the company of three others, and a woman in her twenties was near Sue. It was obvious that they had become friends during the race. I could see her begin to struggle. But when the finish line came into sight, she confidently even happily picked up her pace the last hundred yards to the finish line. Few people were left to congratulate my wife. They openly praised and embraced her, “She made us believe we could do it,” her new friend stated.

From then on, she was carrying herself differently. Her head was more upright. Her shoulders were squared. Her walk had a new confidence. Her voice held a new, quiet dignity. It was not as if she had become someone new; it was more as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before. It was perseverance that made her realize she was an undiscovered masterpiece with a million things left to learn about herself. She truly liked her newly discovered self. So did I.

1.Why did the author think Sue had an unrealistic goal?

A. She was in bad health condition.　　 B. She occasionally suffered from pains.

C. She was diagnosed with cancer.　　 D. She always had an unhealthy diet.

2.The author began to panic because ________.

A. he was cold and lonely on the road　　 B. he was concerned about Sue

C. he noticed some runners were sick　　 D. he saw his wife was struggling

3.As for “An Undiscovered Masterpiece”, the author refers to ________.

A. Sue’s squared shoulders　　 B. the marathon in southern Utah

C. Sue’s newly-discovered self　　 D. Sue’s newly-made friend

4.The writer wrote this article in order to tell us that ________.

A. Sue did a good job in the marathon

B. Sue made many friends in the race

C. he was grateful because Sue had recovered

D. nothing can take the place of perseverance

I went online to check if my pay was in my bank account. To my amazement I discovered that not only had I been paid, a company I’d never worked for had also paid me! I knew I’d have been beside myself if my own salary was not in my account, so I tried to get the money back to the right person. Easier said than done.

The bank couldn’t help as it wasn’t a bank problem. The human resources department at the company that paid me was unable to help as I didn’t have enough details. I rang the bank again. Thankfully I had a sympathetic call operator who gave me a name, so I again rang the company “Daniel” worked for.

I expected the bank would contact me to arrange to take the money from my account and repay Daniel. I heard nothing for a month and the money remained in my account when Daniel called, explaining he’d tried to get back his money but had been unsuccessful as neither the bank nor his company felt it was their error. He had rung to ask if I could speak to the bank, but after chatting for a few minutes we realized we could probably fix this problem ourselves.

We decided I would take the money from my account and he would pick it up from me. Due to my busy job I was unable to meet Daniel personally but he left me a lovely bottle of wine in exchange for what was rightfully his. I never had any intention of keeping Daniel’s pay but red tape(繁琐手续) made it difficult to do the right thing. It all came down to two people being able to do what a huge bank and a large company couldn’t do--admit a mistake has occurred and fix it.

1.What was the attitude of the author towards the extra money in his bank account?

A. He didn’t know what to do with it.

B. He felt lucky to get it.

C. He thought of keeping it for himself.

D. He wanted to return it to the right person.

2.The underlined phrase “beside myself”(inParagraph1) probably means___________.

A. very fortunate　　 B. very angry

C. really thankful D. at ease

3.How was the problem solved in the end?

A. The author and Daniel solved the problem themselves.

B. It cost Daniel a lovely bottle of wine to get back his money.

C. The author gave the money back to the company.

D. The call operator offered to solve their problem.

4.From the passage we can infer that___________.

A. the bank could solve the problem soon and easily with the red tape

B. some large organizations usually have troublesome official rules

C. Daniel didn’t know the error before he contacted the author

D. the company gave the wrong account to the bank
