It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along 36 the song playing on the radio. I 37 at the intersection and looked both ways. The road was 38 . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came 39 at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car 40 me by inches without even slowing down. 41 I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips, 42 after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me 43 . With a red face and a(an) 44 smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home. Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain 45 words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the 46 over and over in his mind. Too 47 I realized the 48 of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of 49 . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the 50 of that incident. That 51 , however, did teach me just how strong words 52 be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words that uplift and inspire instead. I slowly realized that language is a 53 from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned 54 that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a 55 spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light. 小题1: A.to B.by C.through D.over 小题2: A.pushed up B.pulled up C.put up D.forced up 小题3: A.clean B.light C.clear D.busy 小题4: A.hard B.straight C.far D.high 小题5: A.leaving B.missing C.knocking D.approaching 小题6: A.When B.After C.Before D.Until 小题7: A.chasing B.pursuing C.looking D.seeking 小题8: A.awfully B.innocently C.bravely D.typically 小题9: A.pleased B.embarrassed C.surprised D.worried 小题10: A.acute B.unpleasant C.dynamic D.marvelous 小题11: A.music B.story C.language D.incident 小题12: A.sorry B.badly C.soon D.late 小题13: A.power B.importance C.nature D.potential 小题14: A.fear B.worry C.anger D.regret 小题15: A.damage B.lesson C.image D.process 小题16: A.mistake B.leisure C.nonsense D.mystery 小题17: A.should B.can C.need D.would 小题18: A.evidence B.donation C.gift D.talent 小题19: A.or B.otherwise C.too D.whereas 小题20: A.challenging B.struggling C.rising D.caring
