第二节 完形填空（共30分）

Every Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services, a local retirement community, with my classmates to do community service. Our visits last about an hour, playing board games and cards with the residents 11 we're there.

You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about "life back then", but nothing 12 with talking to the people who were actually there. Just hearing their stories has 13 me in a way never thought possible.

Whether it was talking to 98-year-old "Hurricane Hilda" about her glory days 14 a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely impressed by every single 15 the residents wanted to share with me.

Even the residents who don't have 16 memories make the experience fulfilling. I remember visiting Mrs. Robinson. She couldn't 17 much about her past, but she told me she'd 18 forget how kind I was just to listen to her "rambling (漫谈)". It made me realize that it's the 19 things that make life worth living. That's something I won't 20 anytime.

If there's one thing I've realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it's that 21 --- just being there---means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how 22 our lives are, there's always time to make them happy.

For me, it feels great to be a 23 of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a(n) 24 for old memories. And at the end of the day, that's all that 25 .

It's easy to feel like you don't have much in common with the 26 ---especially, when you're a(n) 27 . But that's not tree at all.

I hate to make much comment here, but age really is just a(n) 28 . As young adults, it's important for us to realize this sooner 29 later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often 30 from teenagers, too.

11. A. until B. unless C. as D. while

12. A. compares B. competes C. combines D. connects

13. A. touched B. reached C. captured D. disgusted

14. A. like B. as C. about D. towards

15. A. imagination B. troth C. picture D. memory

16. A. suffering B. depressing C. amazing D. longing

17. A. concern B. describe C. recall D. mention

18. A. ever B. always C. even D. never

19. A. important B. little C. major D. sweet

20. A. care B. skip C. believe D. forget

21. A. presence B. appearance C. companion D. protection

22. A. messy B. happy C. easy D. busy

23. A. trend B. chance C. source D. cause

24. A. mind B. ear C. tongue D. heart

25. A. matters B. favors C. differs D. exists

26. A. friendly B. lively C. lonely D. elderly

27. A. adult B. teenager C. adolescent D. waiter

28. A. amount B. difference C. advantage D. number

29. A. or else B. rather than C. other than D. except for

30. A. hear B. differ C. judge D. benefit

The singer, Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they can't always get what they want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need. The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times. I've always complained about the quote (引语 ). Although over time I have told myself to learn from it.

This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school. The last two months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job.

I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. The other day my mum had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles (旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. The thought of me working
