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中，选出最佳选项。

My friend BJ Gallagher once worked as a training manager for a large newspaper, which was more than a hundred years old. The company’s past 36 had blinded the authorities to the need for change, and they 37 new ideas and would say"this is the way we've always done it.". As the years went by, BJ grew more and more 38 with their short-sightedness. Finally, she left the company. But she found that she hadn’t left her 39 behind when she resigned. She carried it with her, like “rocks in the stomach”.

“I finally decided to 40 about my experiences and my feelings. I 41 it would be a good mental health 42 . I wanted to be rid of that company and those people, once and for all. So I wrote and wrote. It wasn’t just a story that poured out — it was a whole 43 ! My resentment (怨恨) 44 my writing. The whole world would know how 45 they were!”

“What 46 when the book came out?” I asked BJ.

“Not much,” she replied, “The newspaper kept doing what it had 47 done. My feelings didn’t 48 them one bit, but it took me several more years to finally 49 my negative emotions. Finally, the time came when I decided to make amends (修正) for the angry things I had said about the company. I 50 my former boss to dinner and made my 51 . I told him I was sorry for being so resentful. It was a great healing process for me.”

“What was the 52 outcome?” I asked her.

“Gratitude,” she replied, “Not only wasn’t I resentful any more, I was grateful to the company. If I hadn’t had those 53 experiences, I never would have written a book. And the book became hugely successful — now 54 in 21 languages. In short, my resentment gave way to gratitude.”

She smiled, “I owe them a debt of thanks for giving me such a great tale to tell.”

55 resentments for gratitude isn’t always easy. But it’s worth it. For gratitude is a far happier feeling than resentment.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

On December 14, 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his four-man team became the first people to reach the South Pole, where they raised the Norwegian flag in victory. On Wednesday, exactly 100 years later, Norway’s prime minister gathered with scientists and polar adventures at the bottom of the world to remember the famous explorer’s achievements. “We are here to celebrate one of the greatest feats(功绩) in human history,” Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said.

Amundsen was one of the world’s most famous polar explorers. In 1903, he became the first to make a ship voyage through the Northwest Passage. After learning that American explorer Robert E.Peary had reached the North Pole first in April 1909, Amundsen made secret plan for a South Pole expedition(探险). At the time, the South Pole was considered to be the last great, undiscovered territory.

On October 19, 1911, Amundsen set out from his base, in Bay of Whales, Antarctica (南极洲)， with four companions, 52 dogs and four sleds. His success in reaching the South Pole was supported by careful planning. He took a preliminary (预备的) trip to drop food and supplies along the first part of his route. His use of sled dogs to carry supplies also helped. Amundsen and his men, along with 11 surviving dogs, made it back to base on January 25, 1912, quicker than expected.

Today, Antarctica is a base for many global scientific research projects. The land holds many clues to Earth’s past and future changes, especially those related to the global climate change. Wednesday’s ceremony at the pole also served a reminder of the importance of continuing scientific research in this distant place. “The loss of ice in the Antarctic can have great global consequences,” the Prime
