My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the 1 or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a 2 Christmas after all.

__3__, the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.

There was a 4 on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 5 us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 6 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had 7 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.

The 8 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.

As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas 9 from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 10 us to dig out.

Then, we received an invitation to 11 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 12 — a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.

Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 13 . Our Christmas morning 14 was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so 15 for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.

This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The 16 and work schedules just made things too difficult. 17 that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were 18 in the holidays.

Lonely people are all around us, but most of us 19 notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest 20 gesture can make a world of difference.

1. A. chance       B. time       C. anxiety     D. ability

2. A. merry       B. free       C. lonely      D. usual

3. A. Therefore      B. Meanwhile    C. Somehow    D. However

4. A. card        B. sign       C. knock      D. note

5. A. welcome      B. invite       C. drive      D. send

6. A. tree        B. package      C. mail       D. flower

7. A. forgot       B. arranged      C. received     D. missed

8. A. deep       B. true        C. warm      D. mixed

9. A. snow       B. rubbish      C. dust      D. leaves

10. A. teach       B. help        C. urge      D. forbid

11. A. share       B. prepare      C. taste      D. exchange

12. A. aunt       B. guest       C. maid      D. partner

13. A. folks       B. relatives      C. colleagues   D. neighbors

14. A. call       B. greeting      C. breakfast    D. meeting

15. A. sorry       B. eager       C. ready      D. grateful

16. A. distance     B. expense      C. season      D. situation

17. A. Studying     B. Showing     C. Knowing     D. Discovering

18. A. alone      B. busy       C. happy      D. active

19. A. always      B. seldom       C. finally      D. usually

20. A. careful      B. patient       C. vague      D. kind

  Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make.One important question that you might ask yourself is:“How do I get a good job?”  1  

  There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all.Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time.  2  .He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them.His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream.One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick.Without stopping to think, the lad(少年)offered to take his place.  3  

    4  .If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑)his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance.It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.

  Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差).When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying.  5  .And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

A.This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.

B.People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.

G.It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

(注意:每空格1个单词)

  WASHINGTON-According to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 72 officers were killed by criminals in 2011, increased markedly in recently years.

  The 2011 deaths were the first time that more officers were killed by suspects than car accidents.The number was the highest in nearly two decades, excluding those who died in the Sept.11 attacks in 2001 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

  While the F.B.I.and other law enforcement(执行)officials cannot fully explain the reasons for the rise in officer homicides, they are clear about the terrible consequences.

  “In this law enforcement job, when you pin this badge on and go out on calls, when you leave home, you can't guarantee that you will come back,” said Sheriff Ray Foster of Buchanan County, Va.

  After a series of killings in early 2011, Attorney General Eric H.Holder Jr.asked federal authorities to work with local police departments to try to come up with solutions to the problem.

  The F.B.I., which has tracked officer deaths since 1937, paid for a study conducted by John Jay College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had previously been arrested for a violent crime.

  That prompted the F.B.I.to change what information it will provide to local police departments, the officials said.Starting this year, when police officers stop a car and call its license plate into the F.B.I.'s database, they will be told whether the owner of the vehicle has a violent history.Through the first three months of this year, the number of police fatalities has dropped, though it is unclear why.

  Some law enforcement officials believe that techniques pioneered by the New York Police Department over the past two decades and adopted by other departments may have put officers at greater risk by encouraging them to conduct more street stops and to seek out and confront(对抗)suspects who seem likely to be armed.In New York and elsewhere, police officials moved more officers into crime-ridden areas.

  Some argue that the rise in violence is linked to the tough economy.With less money, police departments, after years of staffing increases, have been forced to make cutbacks(削减).

  The police chief in Camden, N.J., J.Scott Thomson, whose force of 400 was cut by nearly half last year because of financing issues, said that having fewer officers on the street “makes it that much more difficult to create an environment in which criminals do not feel as encouraged to attack another person, let alone a law enforcement officer.”

  “Every stop can be potentially fatal, so we are trying to make sure the officers are ready and prepared to face deadly force every single day they go out.” Ms.Klimt said.
