Ⅰ.完形填空
The long line of rush hour traffic wound its way down the rain-slick(湿滑的) street as I glanced nervously at my watch.5:30! Nothing had gone right all day.This traffic jam seemed the perfect ending to a(n) 1 day.
I sighed loudly, 2 there was no one to hear.Lately my life seemed 3 more than a never-ending 4 of regular tasks.Surely there was more to living than this.I guess I was simply too tired to look for it.
And then, looking 5 , I saw him.
The lone(孤零零) flagman was standing 6 the street, 7 directing four driving ways of traffic as they 8 into one.But there was something 9 about this flagman, and as my car 10 , I realized what it was.
Standing among dozens of impatient motorists, he was smiling and 11 at every driver that passed.
As I sat waiting my 12 in my warm car, I began to feel 13 .If this man, who did nothing all day but watch one car after another 14 , could stand in the cold rain hour after boring hour and still have a friendly 15 for every single person who passed, what right did I have to 16 my life?
It was 17 my turn to pass the flagman.“Thank you,” I mouthed 18 the window.He smiled and nodded and I drove on, spirits lifted, 19 changed.And in the rear view mirror(后视镜) I could see him, raising his hand and 20 to every car that passed.
