In the lobby(休息室) after a long day at work, I found myself standing next to a handsome young man with a nice smile. A __ showed what we had in common: I had ____ in New York city from Germany while he had ____ from South America. We exchanged stories about the ____ of starting a new life in a new country. “I’ve been ___an apartment within walking distance from my ____. And what I want is to have a good ____ of Central park! But I’m dreaming. I can’t ____ to rent a room like that myself and I haven’t found a roommate to share in expenses.” The young man wrote a ___ down on a piece of paper. “Her name’s Carol and she is a good girl,” he said. “You’ll ____ her, and she needs a roommate.” I called her right away. “I’ve been ___ to hear from you,” said Carole, who lived near Central Park. ___, she became my best roommate, and has been my ___ for 34 years. “We were sure lucky to ____ each other,” Carole said to me recently. “But I wondered what took you so ____ to call.” I said. “I called right after I ____ your South American friend.” Carole looked amazed. “Not a friend, ___ I met him only once, and he told me about you. But that was a whole week before you finally ____.” “But I don’t understand; I didn’t know him until that afternoon.” “Maybe he know of you before because you were ____ known in the company for your achievement.” Though you are a small potato, if you work hard and do ___, people will find you sooner or later. 小题1: A．chat B．action C．letter D．sentence 小题2: A．got B．arrived C．reached D．approached 小题3: A．returned B．appeared C．heard D．come 小题4: A．pleasure B．difficulties C．excitement D．danger 小题5: A．finding out B．adopted C．decorated D．searching for 小题6: A．job B．home C．school D．friend 小题7: A．sight B．visit C．view D．point 小题8: A．realize B．provide C．afford D．stand 小题9: A．number B．sign C．mark D．note 小题10: A．meet B．like C．believe D．agree 小题11: A．looking B．staying C．waiting D．keeping 小题12: A．And B．However C．Then D．Indeed 小题13: A．wife B．friend C．roommate D．partner 小题14: A．receive B．find C．notice D．see 小题15: A．short B．fast C．long D．slow 小题16: A．ran into B．heard from C．knew of D．referred to 小题17: A．hurriedly B．rapidly C．commonly D．exactly 小题18: A．said B．called C．spoke D．visited 小题19: A．far B．much C．well D．rather 小题20: A．everything B．anything C．nothing D．something
