Question

【題目】 I remember a psychiatrist（精神病醫(yī)生）once said that if you ever feel sad, the best thing to do is do something for someone else because it gets you focused. It’s hard to be unhappy while serving someone else. A byproduct（副產(chǎn)品）of h【1】 others is feeling wonderful yourself.

I remember sitting in an airport one day, waiting for my flight. I was e【2】 because I had been upgraded（升級）to a first-class ticket. I had the best seat on the plane, seat 1A.

B【3】 boarding, I noticed a young lady who had several carry-on bags and was holding a crying baby. Having just finished reading a book on doing acts of kindness, I heard my conscience（良心）speak to me, “You guy, let her h【4】 your ticket.” I fought these words for a while but finally gave in.

“Excuse me, but it seems that you could use this first-class ticket more than me. I know how hard it can be flying with a k【5】. Why don’t we trade（交換）our tickets.”

“Are you sure?”

“Oh yeah. I really don’t mind. I’m just going to be working the whole time, anyway.”

“Well, thank you. That’s very kind of you,” she said as we e【6】 our tickets.

As we boarded the plane, I was surprised at how good it made me feel to watch her sit down in seat 1A. In fact, at that time, seat 24B or wherever I was sitting didn’t seem that bad at all. During the flight I was so curious to see how she was doing that I could h【7】 stand（忍受）it. So I got up out of my seat, walked to the first-class section. There she was with her baby, both in big and comfortable seat 1A. And I felt like getting a million dollars. I’ve got to keep doing this kind of thing.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】helping

【2】excited

【3】Before

【4】have

【5】kid

【6】exchanged

【7】hardly

【解析】

我記得一個精神病醫(yī)生曾經(jīng)說過，如果你覺得悲傷，能做的最好的事情就是為其他人做一些事，因為這樣能讓你得到關注。幫助別人會讓我們自我感覺很好。本文作者把頭等艙換給一位帶孩子的女士經(jīng)歷，幫助別人讓他感覺到快樂。

【1】句意：幫助別人的副產(chǎn)品就是自我感覺很好。

根據(jù)上句It’s hard to be unhappy while serving someone else. 可知幫助別人的時候很難不開心。此空為動詞ing形式，help others表示“幫助他人”，故填helping。

【2】句意：我很興奮，因為我被升級為頭等艙。

此空我形容詞作表語，構成主系表結構。根據(jù)because I had been upgraded（升級）to a first-class ticket.I had the best seat on the plane, seat 1A. “我被升級到頭等艙。有了飛機上最好的座位�！笨赏茰y我很興奮。excited表示“讓人興奮的”，用于形容人。故填excited。

【3】句意：在上飛機前，我注意到一個年輕女人提著很多包，抱著孩子。

根據(jù)下文中As we boarded the plane,“在我們登機的時候，”可知此處是登機之前。Before表示“之前”。故填Before。

【4】句意：伙計，讓她拿你的票。

根據(jù)Why don’t we trade（交換）our tickets.可知作者是想跟他們換座。let sb do sth“讓某人做某事”，此處為動詞原形，have表示“擁有”。故填have。

【5】句意：我知道帶著孩子做飛機有多難。

a加可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，根據(jù)...was holding a crying baby. 可知這個女人帶著孩子坐飛機。kid表示“孩子”。故填kid。

【6】句意：在我們交換票的時候她說：“謝謝，你真好�！�

此空缺少謂語動詞，exchange表示“交換”，此句為一般過去時，因此exchange用過去時exchanged。故填exchanged。

【7】句意：在飛行期間我很好奇想去看看她怎么做這些我難以忍受的事情。

此處為副詞修飾動詞stand，hardly表示“幾乎不”，符合句意。故填hardly。
