My life suffered a lot five years ago when my father died of an accident, leaving my mother and two younger brothers alone. At that time, I was in a senior high school. As the 36 , I had no choice but to drop out of the school and work in a factory. Life went on without any 37 . I just hoped to bring up two younger brothers. However, that’s not an easy thing, for I couldn’t 38 their tuition (学费) even if I worked from day to night. The present misery (不幸) made me want to have another try, but it seemed 39 , for I couldn’t lose this job any more.

A thread of hope sparkled (闪耀) in those 40 days suddenly. It was a rainy dusk when I walked in the rain. Suddenly the rain stopped surprisingly. I raised my head and found that “the sky” was in fact a dark blue 41 . Then I heard a deep voice. “Why not run without an umbrella？” A one－leg man with a walking stick said to me. “ 42 you run, you would get less wet.” He told me he once had dreamed of being a policeman, but an accident ruined his 43 . Later he became a promoter (促销员). Though his present work was demanding and didn’t suit for his 44 , every outing was a wonderful start to him. He was glad that he didn’t lose 45 and still “run” on the road of life...

46 by remarks, I became an assurance representative. After two years’ struggle, I made it and my family turned 47 gradually. I returned to my senior school, and eventually succeeded in my entrance to university. Everything is so simple: to run without an umbrella! When you run out of the rainy season of your life, there will be bright sky ahead of you!

36. A. strongest B. youngest C. smallest D. eldest

37. A. delay B. doubt C. wonder D. hesitation

38. A. afford B. manage C. transport D. receive

39. A. illegal B. impractical C. indifferent D. inexpensive

40. A. bright B. gloomy C. sunny D. happy

41. A. umbrella B. raincoat C. shelter D. curtain

42. A. Unless B. Because C. Though D. If

43. A. future B. health C. dream D. house

44. A. eye B. leg C. hand D. ear

45. A. control B. temper C. face D. heart

46. A. Advised B. Developed C. Shocked D. Inspired

47. A. fresher B. worse C. better D. warmer

A

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat.
