Every morning she asked   8  if there was any anger inside her. And every morning the answer was, “yes.” So she continued  9 water. Until one afternoon when a man walked up, took the water pot out of her hand and drank the water up, and then  10 it onto the ground as he went on his way.

The woman was very  11 . Unable to control herself, she  12  the pot and threw it at the rude man. The pot broke into pieces over the back of his head and he fell to the ground, bleeding.

As the woman calmed down, she realized the mistake of what she had made and began to cry. She called 911 and  13  what had happened. A moment later an ambulance(救護(hù)車) and two police cars arrived and took the man away. Then one of the police officers walked over to the woman, who was  14 crying, and said, “ The city owes(欠) you a big ‘thank you.’ That man has been  15 our wanted list for over a year now. He is an important suspect in many murder cases and robberies.”

1.point“指著”，laugh“笑”，smile“微笑”，scream“喊叫，尖叫”。根據(jù)who had a bad temper可知，婦女的脾氣不好，所以應(yīng)是她對(duì)周圍的人大聲喊叫，故用screamed。所以本題選D。

6.根據(jù)下文的if there was any anger inside her可知，本空應(yīng)該是anger。本句的意思是“直到你心中沒有怒火為止�！彼员绢}選C。

7.根據(jù)下文可知，婦女按照高僧說的做了，故應(yīng)該用so。

8.根據(jù)題干，因?yàn)槭菋D女要消除自己的怒氣，故應(yīng)該是問她自己，故用herself。所以本題選A。

9.根據(jù)上文可知，婦女仍然有怒氣，故應(yīng)繼續(xù)為路人提供水，所以應(yīng)該用serving。所以本題選B。

10.根據(jù)此人的行為took the water pot out of her hand and drank the water up和下文可知，這個(gè)人應(yīng)該是將pot仍在了地上。所以本題選D。
