This evening I met a friend at a local bar. She brought her laptop so she could show me some of her latest digital art designs. As we looked through her artwork, the laptop suddenly started making an unhealthy noise, then the screen twinkled on and off and then cut off . And as we both stared at one another surprisingly, the terrible smell of fried computer circuits appeared.
I grabbed the laptop off the bar to inspect it and the problem instantly arose itself. The bottom of the laptop was completely wet and empty, spilt water glass rested against the side of her purse just behind where the laptop was sitting. While we were chatting and shifting the laptop's 17 inch screen , we somehow spilt a glass of water that the waiter had inadvertently (无意地) placed behind the screen, which was out of our view.
When life throws id some troubles like this, it typically doesn't make any sense to us, and our natural emotional reaction might get extremely at the top of our lungs. But how does this help our dilemma? Obviously, it doesn't.
The smartest and hardest thing we can do in these kinds of situations is to be more tempered in our reaction. You'd be much wiser and more disciplined than scream extremely. You should remember that emotional rage only makes matters worse. And please remember that once it happens, that will give us an opportunity to grow stronger.
Every difficult moment in our lives is accompanied by an opportunity for personal growth and . But in order to attain this growth and creativity.
We must first learn to control our emotions. We must recognize that difficulties pass like everything in our life.

答案:1.along 2.completely 3.back and forth 4.upset 5.creativity
1. 这里考查的是固定搭配的正确意思,该句句意:她随身带了台笔记本电脑。Bring along (随身携带),符合语境。而bring around (说服,使信服),bring forward (提前,提出),均与文意不符,所以选A。
2. 这里考查的是副词的正确意思,结合上一句分析:随后屏幕不停地闪烁,直至“完全”(completely) 关机。Normally“普通地”,suddenly“突然地”,所以选B。
3. 这里考查的是固定搭配的正确意思,根据语境,我们讨论时,反复来回地移动那17寸的屏幕。Back and forth (来回),符合语境。而up and down (上下),in and out (进出),均与文意不符。所以选B。
4. 这里考查的是固定搭配的正确意思,根据上文语境可知出现了许多麻烦,由常识推断出我们的自然反应是非常心烦, upset“低落的”,excited“兴奋的”, surprised“惊讶的”,所以选A。
5. 这里考查的是名词的正确意思,根据语境分析:在我们的生命中,每个艰难时刻都伴有一个自我成长和“创造”(creativity) 的机会。所以选A。
