If I died, well, that wasn’t so 32 , but I wouldn’t have 33 waited for it to happen. The 34 of dying no longer affected me as it had in the crevasse at first.

That Simpson somehow found a way of 37 out of the crevasse after 12 hours and then crawled(爬行)and 38 himself six miles back to camp, 39 three days and might without food or drink, would be considered as a heroic fiction.

They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭贷款)，working overtime or taking second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging(按摩) his shou lders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual(仪式) each night and nourished(滋润) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equip ment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.( ) 41. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s family?A. There were six people in the family.B. They decided to buy a bigger house.C. They lived an easy and happy life.D. They had a second-hand car.( ) 42. What did the parents regularly do with the author?A. They wrote stories together.B.

The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’ code for preparing yourself to die.I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening I had another biopsy(活组织检查) and my wife told me that tumor(肿瘤) turned out to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.This was the closest I’ v been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’ life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’ thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.( ) 45.
