初中英语人生感悟类阅读试题

When my son, Justin, was four, he found a caterpillar（毛毛虫）and put it in a box. Each day he          it fresh grass and leaves . In a few weeks, the caterpillar became fat and was ready to sleep. One morning we found         had become a cocoon(茧).
Justin was        . He knew a moth（飞蛾）or butterfly was going to be        .
“Dad !       is happening. Come and look!” He shouted happily. We could clearly see the wings        . A few days later, a beautiful black moth broke free from its cocoon.
The next day, Justin took the         outside and opened it, and the little moth flew out. It flew around the yard twice,        , and landed on Justin’s arm. He picked it up and threw it in the air,         the moth came back again. He tried over and over to set it free, but each time it would return to his arm.
I believe the moth, just like a person, was afraid to         comfortable places and situations. It wanted to stay with something         and was afraid to move on and experience new things.
I was once that little moth. My cocoon was my mother’s love which made me comfortable.        the moth, I didn’t want to fly too far from it. When my first job required me to move to a new city, I was         but later I chose to move there. And finally, I found I was happy about my          .
Humans are animals of habit. We         change. However, if we hadn’t moved, we would not have experienced many new things. So spread your wings and fly.

My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body. Through the years I would believe          I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought          was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy”. She said, “No. Many people are        . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon,”
Several years passed          she asked me again. For I had often thought of the correct answer, so this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it          be our eyes”. She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more         and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting         every year, my child.” Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was crying when it was our          to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. Mom asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
I was          when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a         between her and me. She saw the puzzlement (疑惑)on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It           that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your        ”. I asked, “Is it because it         your head?” She replied, “No, it is because a crying friend or loved one can rest his head on it. I only hope that you have enough friends that you will have a shoulder to cry        when you need it.” Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish (自私的）one. It is sympathetic (同情）to the pain of        .

Once in a small village faraway, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.
A happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced (蹦跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway h his      lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great       , he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was       with 1000 great smiles. As he left the House, he thought to himself, “This is a very       place. I will come back and visit it        .”
In the same village, another little dog, who was not quite as       as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he      into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly-looking dogs staring back at him , he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a horrible place, and It will never go back       again.”

When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner. 
I still remember one night my mum put some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his          , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night.        I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He      as usual, every single bit. 
After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I           burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
       , I went to kiss Dad good night.I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and       , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect.        is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something         over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy         .
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember,           bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.

A few years ago, I worked a 12-hour night shift(夜班) and got home from work.
I was on my way back home and was very tired. I       at a restaurant to have breakfast. Right after I placed my order, I saw a man come in. He was carrying a small backpack and looked like he had seen better times. He reached in his pocket and pulled out some     . He asked the waitress if 38 cents was        to buy a cup of coffee. She looked at his backpack and said, “    . Have a seat.” (Coffee was 50 cents a cup at the time.) It really touched me how she had tried to protect his pride and how he hadn’t asked for any charity.
Shortly before my       came, I asked the waitress to come over. I said, “You know, I am not feeling well. I don’t think I am going to be able to eat my breakfast. Do you think there is         here who might eat it?” She first asked if I was OK and then she      . She said, “I think so. Are you sure?” I told her that I was sure.
She then walked over to the gentleman and told him that I had ordered food and it was too      to stop the order but I didn’t feel like eating. Would he be so kind as to take it        they wouldn’t have to throw it away? I had walked to the cash register(收银台) and was paying for the meal. At the cash register, I asked if they had gift cards. They did. I bought one       $25.00 and asked them to give it to the gentleman after I left.
