It had been with me as I __9__ hard to support my family，as I played with my children and heard their __10__ and even when I was __11__ with my wife at my side looking after me.It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner.I just didn't have the __12__ to see it. There is an old Chinese proverb that says，“Tension is what you think you should be.__13__ is who you are.”Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the __14__ life we think we should have and __15__ the life we have now.Happiness will never be found under some banner far away.It will be found __16__ your own heart，soul and mind.It will be found when you __17__ that others love you just as you do.

1．A.forgot B．missed C． overcame D．accomplished
答案 D [作者在谈论自己最初对幸福的理解。他认为只有先成就了事业，才能最终获得自己想要的幸福。上句中的“...across the finish line of a long race”暗示本空答案为accomplish(完成，实现)。overcome战胜，克服；forget遗忘；miss思念，错过。]
2．A.safe B．steady C．calm D．quiet
答案 B [本句中作者把自己比作乌龟。首先，C、D两项意思相近，同比排除；其次，根据英语叠词的修辞手段，不难看出A、B两项中，与slow意思相近的词是steady，slow and steady意思是“稳扎稳打的”。]
3．A.act B．run C．jump D．walk
答案 A [本句中作者把自己比作兔子。在通往幸福的道路上，作者有时表现得像(act like)一只急功近利的兔子。]

答案 C [由下文hoping to reach that banner a little faster(希望更快到达那条横幅)提示可知这里指的是速度。]
5．A.Generally B．Gradually
C．Unfortunately D．Firstly
答案 B [在漫长的追求幸福的过程中，作者逐渐地(gradually)明白了一个道理。generally一般

地，通常；unfortunately不幸地，遗憾地；firstly首先。]

答案 C [作者渐渐明白：无论向着那条横幅跑多久，它都不会离你更近。] 7．A.settle in B．start off C．stop by D．sit down
答案 D [根据下文的and take a break(休息一会儿)可判断出答案选D项。sit down坐下；settle in定居；start off动身；stop by顺路拜访。]

答案 A [当作者停下追逐的脚步，坐下来休息时，他发现幸福原来就在身边。]

10．A.laughter B．complaints
C．stories D．breathing
答案 A [和孩子们一起玩耍，听到的自然是他们的欢笑声，而不是complaint(投诉)，story(故事)，breathing(呼吸)。]

答案 C [根据下文的with my wife at my side looking after me(妻子陪在我身边照顾我)可判断，这里指作者生病的时候。]

13．A.Stress B．Relaxation
C．Failure D．Pain
答案 B [根据上文“你认为你应该的样子”以及下文“你本来的样子”可判断出，这两句话是相对而言的。tension(紧张)的反义词是relaxation(放松)。stress压力；failure失败；pain痛苦。]

·2·
伤；responsibility责任；fortune命运。]
19．A.Carry B．Make C．Push D．Take
答案 D [动词take可以表示“to go with sb from one place to another，especially to guide or lead them带去，引领”，这里指将自己带离这场比赛。carry sth out执行；make sth out辨认清楚，填写；push sth out大量生产。]

One day，he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8∶30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed，he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need，and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said，“Well，I could take you to the office for your interview.It's the least I could do.Please.I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival，Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair，but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one，the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth，he asked，“Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now，how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise，it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting，but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
