Question

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not   36__   with life, I was down. A young boy out of breath   37   me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted（傾斜的） down,   38   with great excitement, “Look what I found!”

In his hand was a flower, and what a   39   sight, with its petals（花瓣） all worn－not enough rain, or too little light.   40   him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I   41   a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of   42  he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with   43  , “It sure smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I   44   it; here, it’s for you.”

The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I   45   take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and   46  , “Just what I need.” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he   47  it mid－air without reason. It was then that I   48   for the very first time the boy was   49  .

I heard my voice shake, tears shone like the sun   50   I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then ran off to play,   51   of the effect he’d had on my day.

I sat there and   52  how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged(放縱的)  53  ? Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true   54 .

  55   the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that's mine.

解析:

生活中不是缺少美，而是缺少發(fā)現(xiàn)美的眼睛；生活中不是缺少快樂，而是缺少感受快樂的心。如果雙目失明，我們是不是一定不快樂？如果健健康康，我們是不是一定快樂？它再一次告訴我們，快樂在心。情緒低落的作者因生活不順而不能自拔。一位可愛的小男孩失明，卻能看到美麗的花朵，聞到芬芳，這讓作者深有感觸……

36.   因生活受挫，作者心情不好—I was down. 對生活不滿意。Be contented with 對…滿意

37.   作者并不認(rèn)識的一小男孩向我走過來。從out of breath, tired可以知道。

38. 小男孩興奮地對我講。say 強(qiáng)調(diào)說話內(nèi)容；tell 表示“告訴”，要接賓語      inform要接sb of sth ; talk 表示雙向的談話。

39.  從下文all worn－not enough rain, or too little light可以看出。其余選項不符。

40.  作者并沒有心情講話，只想讓男孩走開不要打擾她。

41.  作者無心看那凋謝的花，只好強(qiáng)裝出笑臉，移到另外一個位置。

42.  由下文男孩仍然sit next to me 可知，他并沒有離開。

43.  男孩驚喜地說道，：“這花聞起來很香，肯定很漂亮”

44.  這就是他采摘花的原因。

45.  由于男孩不離開，反而積極向我獻(xiàn)花，作者知道男孩的意思——自己一定要接受這花的饋贈。

46.  作者只好回應(yīng)的男孩的話。

47.  從下文mid-air可以知道，男孩是把花舉在空中的。

48.  正是男孩高舉的這一動作，才讓作者注意到他卻是一個盲人。notice無意察覺到，observe是帶有某一目的觀察。confirm是對所預(yù)測事情的證實和確認(rèn)，conclude是從某事論述中得出結(jié)論。

49.  最后一段第一句也有提示。

50.  作者知道男孩的真相后，心理感觸萬分——在感謝他時，聲音都在顫抖。

51.  男孩心理只想到這美麗而散發(fā)著香味的花應(yīng)該與人分享，而并未意識到這對對于情緒低落的作者的影響有多大。都不可以與of搭配；小男孩并沒在意其行為對我的影響，所以regardless of也排除。

52.  男孩失明卻能‘看到’美麗的花朵，卻能與一個情緒低落的人分享，這確實讓作者感到詫異而又想弄個明白。

53.  男孩又是如何知道我陷于低迷的痛苦呢？這都是讓作者納悶的事。embarrassment尷尬；作者還沒有痛苦到絕望的地步，排除hopelessness；effort用在這不合意思。

54.  男孩失明，卻看到美麗�；蛟S這正是上天恩賜于他的真正的視力吧。

55.  正是通過男孩的眼睛，我才得以看到問題的根源并不是客觀事物本身，而是自己的心靈。In the eyes of 在某人看來， from 從眼睛本身, 作者不是從男子的眼睛里看到，而是通過男孩看待事物的做法得到感悟。Before 不合題意。
