第二节  完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21～40各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the   21   side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to   22   in good health, or    23   about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to   24   damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text   25   the title. Therefore, the scissors (剪刀) would   26   before they start,    27   halfway done when I find out the   28   result.

      Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your   29   . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be   30   up. But you know the future is unpredictable (不可预料) — the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left   31   . Thus you are   32   in a difficult position and feel sad. How   33   that nice chances and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   34   greatly on you preference of one choice to the other.

      In fact that is what   35  is like. We are often   36   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only   37   we get into another. The   38   may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I   39   remember a philosopher’s remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual (不经意的)   40   may not be a bad one.
