A
On my way to work every day, I drive down a street lined with pine trees. One tree in particular        my attention. It must have suffered some      . Part of its trunk grew nearly parallel to the ground, and then in an effort to      its own course of life, the trunk took a 90 degree turn        to stand tall and stretch toward the sun.
Each day as I drove by, I saw this bent but determined tree and I would be      . It was a reminder to me that      I may not have had the best start in life, I could change      in the parts of my life at any time.
I was planning to stop one day to get a perfect      of my kindred-spirit (志趣相同的) tree. But that week I was busy. After that week, I still didn’t take any action. Every time I drove by the tree I would        myself, “Tomorrow, I’ll stop tomorrow to take one.” Then one day, as I drove by “my” tree, I glanced over, and much to my        , I found a sawed-off stump (树桩) where that tree had stood. I had        my plan until “tomorrow” and tomorrow proved to be too        .
What have you been putting off? What would you do today if you knew you would        have the opportunity to do it again? Why not do those things that you have been putting off until tomorrow?

Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 41 into stillness by what I saw. Mother was seated at the far end of the sofa, 42 , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment(尴尬) at finding mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 43 I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa. I began very 44 to understand. “I guess we all have to 45 sometimes.” Mother said quietly. I could 46 her pain and the tension(紧张) of 47 the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me 48 . I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 49 my shoulder and sobbed(啜泣). I held her 50 and didn’t try to talk.

But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very 59 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping 60 across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Learning experience happens to us throughout our lives. Not long ago I had one that I would like to   36 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph   37 we realized we were   38 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new (崭新) $ 20 bill. I was so   39 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 40 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 41 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I   42 I had not actually handed any money     to the cashier (收银员). I had just 43 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed(吞噬) me in one big bite. I couldn't   44 over it. I just couldn't go back to the cashier and 45 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset (不安) that I 46 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in   47 that someone would say “Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the 48 from the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 49 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 50 of the “Pizza incident”, I would say to myself “Don't think bout it ”.
I have learned two things from this   51 . Maybe I was a fool for   52 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 53 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will   54 up with you.
This reflects the saying “A coward (儒夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “55” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
