阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

We must think anew --- and act anew. —Abraham Lincoln

When Abraham Lincoln wrote these words, he was facing the greatest crisis: the Civil War. He knew that 36 measures were not enough. “The dogmas (教条) of the 37 past,” he wrote, “are inadequate to the stormy present. We must think anew, and act anew.”

New thought, new action --- how simple it sounds and how 38 it is! Most of us tend to be

39 by old habits of thought. When crisis threatens, it is all too easy to react as we did before.

But great 40 waits for men and women who can change the pattern of their thinking to meet new challenges. I have 41 of this in my own experience. When I first left college, I had no 42 of becoming a psychiatrist(精神病医生). I taught drama in university. But two years later, 43 my life, I decided that, much 44 I enjoyed teaching, what I really wanted to be was a doctor.

The 45 to “act anew” was not easy. I knew I could hardly hope to become a(n) 46 psychiatrist before I was forty. My friends advised strongly against such an extreme step. I took it 47 . I have never regretted it.

Today, many of the people who come to me for help are suffering from a kind of 48 caused by blindly sticking to old patterns of thinking and acting. They can’t adapt to 49 conditions. They find it so difficult to 50 that sometimes they break.

Quite often, in my 51 to help such people, I quote these words of Lincoln. When problems annoy us, I tell them --- when there is 52 no solution --- we must not act rigidly. We must not 53 our difficulties from old, habitual points of view. We must think anew, and with it will come the 54 and the confidence to act anew.

A great American told us this. We should remember his words and try to live 55 them.

36. A. immediate B. ordinary C. effective D. temporary

37. A. quiet B. dark C. glorious D. recent

38. A. impossible B. difficult C. exciting D. interesting

39. A. attracted B. covered C. ignored D. restricted

40. A. reward B. promotion C. responsibility D. trouble

41. A. notice B. enough C. proof D. memory

42. A. sense B. chance C. knowledge D. intention

43. A. enjoying B. reviewing C. spending D. restarting

44. A. as B. since C. for D. unless

45. A. promise B. chance C. desire D. decision

46. A. little-known B. privileged C. established D. ambitious

47. A. moreover B. anyway C. instead D. therefore

48. A. rigidity B. inequality C. sickness D. disability

49. A. pressing B. existing C. changing D. appealing

50. A. insist B. pass C. bend D. flee
