完形填空。
The lady with the white fence (篱笆) taught me to leave the gale to life open... My husband died in an
accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was1down a busy street, I suddenly
noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good2that I was deeply
touched. I could not send3away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.
'Hello!' I came up and said to a lady in the back garden,'I came to see the fence. It's so beautiful!'
'Oh! The fence is not there for me,' the lady explained to me in a calm voice,'I live alone.4so many
people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive.5stop like
you and come up to have a chat.'
'But weren't you sad when they expanded (拓宽) the road and everything changed so much?'
'Change is part of life and takes part in6us who we are. When something we do not like happens to us,
we have two choices-to become a7person or to become a better person.'
Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on8a new feeling inside me. I could
not tell9it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And10a pretty
white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my
way.
