A few weeks ago I was spending some time with my daughters at a friend‘s home. My friend also has two daughters and the lovely 21 were in the bedroom playing a game they called ―murder in the dark‖. I was outside the room listening to the laughing and shouting 22 my5-year-old daughter Lottie came out with another of her many classic 23 , ―Turn the dark off!‖ There was a moment‘s 24 , then everyone burst into laughter at what she said. What an innocent mistake! 25 , Lottie was having far too much fun to be annoyed by the laughter.26 on that moment, it struck me that hidden within that sentence there is a deep lesson to be27 . The mistake that Lottie made was a mistake that 28 of us keep making again and again throughout our lives. Not only individuals, but 29 too make this mistake. For example: The war on terror = turn the dark off.The fight against crime = turn the dark off.Neither of these seems to be 30 very well, nor can they. Why is that?On a personal level also, we often try to deal with 31 emotions such as fear or anger by trying to fight against them. We try to 32 negative thoughts out of our heads. We get more and more frustrated (沮丧的) as we find that trying to fight against them is 33 . Often this leads us to take the only other solution we can think of, which is to suppress (镇压) and 34 that they are there at all.What is our mistake? We are trying to turn the dark off 35 simply turning the light on. The light in this case is love. You cannot get 36 and throw it out of a room, because darkness is just a(n) 37 of light. You cannot do anything with negative emotions either, because they are 38 an absence of love. The only way to deal with negative emotions effectively is to 39 the love.So let‘s stop trying to work on things that don‘t exist and work to bring more of the one thing that is 40 – love.21. A. boys B. gentlemen C. women D. ladies22. A. unless B. when C. after D. while23. A. lines B. notes C. lessons D. opinions24. A. shock B. silence C. calmness D. excitement25. A. Unfortunately B.
