完形填空

　　Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck．I felt horrible as well as 　　1　　．What would she do with me?She was almost mad after the 　　2　　 of her husband．

　　A few minutes later, I heard the truck 　　3　　 its engine and move fast．I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any 　　4　　．Finally she put me down in a 　　5　　 place．Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag．

If You’re Not Dead，You Can Get Better

　　Randy Kraus was paralyzed (瘫痪)．His left side was useless．But his right hand was　　1　　enough to lift a bucket to his forehead．Once，he’d been a police officer and owned a private－eye agency．Once，he’d been strong and able．Now，he felt he was nothing．

　　His　　2　　started with Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease，but it didn’t 　　3　　 there．In July 2002，the 60－year－old Kraus went into the hospital for an operation to control the shaking．　　4　　，during the operation，he had a stroke (中风)．He was paralyzed．The　　5　　man，who loved golf，could think，but couldn’t　　6　　．Kraus wanted the doctors to 　　7　　 it to him straight．“You may never walk again，” they told him．“Maybe you won’t　　8　　be able to talk．”

　　Garud kept saying he could　　19　　more．Now，Kraus can brush his teeth，shave himself and get around the house with a walker．Little success only the paralyzed can　　20　　understand．
