第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Around me, I find people of my age doing drugs, going to parties ----- just to “fit in”, just to gain attention. We’re so 36 being selfish, comparing ourselves to others, 37 unrealistic goals for ourselves, wanting to look prettier or lose more 38 , making more money, and being more popular.

But then I think, is that 39 what life’s all about? There are 40 kids out there, being abused, murdered, orphaned, and hungry. And here we are all 41 about how tough our lives are.

Most of us self-harm and are always depressed. Why do we always try to 42 away from our problems, 43 just face them? I mean this is life! You cannot get away from it, and you can definitely not 44 it.

All we can do is 45 what life gives us, and face our problems, face our difficulties, and face our frustrations. And maybe they’ll 46 your best friends, your companions. They’ll make you stronger, they’ll help you face reality and they’ll teach you to 47 the little things in life.

48 we always fail to look at the brighter side of things, we always fail to find happiness in little things. There are so many beautiful things 49 us that we seldom notice. Maybe that is 50 people don’t find happiness; we keep looking for it in the 51 places------ money, fame.

When we really go to “look” for happiness, what we all fail to 52 is that happiness isn’t really something that we can “find”. It’s not a destination; it’s not something you find along the road of life; it’s a(n) 53 , a feeling------ you can be happy wherever and whenever, only if you CHOOSE to be. Happiness is something within you, waiting to be found, waiting to 54 you company, waiting to help you 55 from this harsh reality.

Lill was a young French Canadian girl who grew up in the farming community.
