（5）人生感悟类

1.阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I truly feel that my mother led me here, to Morzine, and to my future as a happy

wife and businesswoman. When Mum 1 in October 2007, I was a cook. In

December that year, a pearl(珍珠) necklace Mum had left me 2 . I was

distraught(忧心如焚的). Some days later, I was 3 that a guy who was working

with us that day “could probably have made a fortune selling the necklace he

found”. 4 , he returned it. When he heard how I'd 5 Mum for six months

before her death, he said, “Winter is coming, and I think this Christmas would

be 6 for you. Why not go out to the Alps(阿尔卑斯山) for a couple of weeks?”

I came to Morzine, a small and friendly village in the Alps and immediately fell in

love with it. What was supposed to be a stopgap(权宜之计) trip turned into a

new 7 . I kept travelling between London and here and felt 8 than I had in

months. In December 2008, I was 9 as a hotel manager and moved here full

time.

A month later, I met Paul, who was traveling here. We fell in love. In the

beginning, I didn't want to discuss 10 , because the sadness of losing

Mum 11 felt great. Paul understood that and never pushed me. But, by summer,

we got married. A year later, we used his savings, and the money from the sale of

Mom's house, to build our own 12 . We want to give our guests a 13 feel,

so each room is themed(以……为主题) around memories from our lives. There are

also styles to remind me of Mom—a tiny chair which used to be in her bedroom is set in

one room.

We are having a wonderful life and Mum feels naturally part of it, 14 there's

no way we would be here if it wasn't for the 15 she gave me. I know she's here in

spirit, keeping an eye on us.

A few years ago, I was given a wallet. A beautiful elephant was woven into its front

panel. The wallet was 1 to me by a close friend on my birthday.

my parents over and over again, only to receive eye 2 in return. “Frances, really,

you’ve lost it again?” they would say every time I 3 it. Fortunately, I would

eventually find it in my own house.

One day, 4 , as I was leaving a football stadium at a school, the wallet once

again 5 from my pocket. I discovered the 6 when I got home. I searched the

house and I prayed, as usual. Nothing.

But then, around a week later, my parents received a 7 on their business

voicemail. A complete stranger was calling with the 8 of my wallet. “I’m calling

for Frances,” a 9 came from the stranger. This man, to find whom the wallet

belonged to, looked inside of it, and found a 10 which my parents had written to

me. It 11 have their business phone number on it. Upon getting my wallet back, I

wrote a brief letter to the man expressing my 12 , and remarking on what an

amazing act of kindness he had committed and that he was truly a 13 person. I

would be forever grateful to him. I 14 and emailed it off to him.

England. And once again, my client had 1 a motel(汽车旅馆) for me to stay at in

I have no special rights in the Central Motel, other than being a 11 customer
