I noticed the woman when I entered the newsroom. My secretary told me she wanted to put an ad to 36 a baby. So I suggested several 37 lines for these ads to her: 38 , Baby to love; or Dear Birth Mother, Let Us Help You. The ad would contain 39 about her and her husband: they were 40 , could afford to raise a child. But then something 41 me: the major newspapers carried ads like this and their 42 were larger than ours. “Have you tried the major ones?” I asked. “Yes, but all failed and one more wouldn’t 43 .” She handed me a check and left with a 44 smile. A week later the woman called in a 45 of delight: “Please don’t run the ad again. We ’ve connected with 46 . The baby is due in a month.” Good news. I asked her if she 47 keep in touch if the adoption 48 to have a happy ending. She agreed but added when the adoption was final she was 49 to give me the story. One day my phone rang. I 50 her voice immediately. “The adoption is final. Would you like to come and meet him?” Happily, I made a (an ) 51 with her for the next day. “His name is Ben,” she said, as I started to take 52 . “He slept through the night from the start. Now he’s smiling and starting to turn over. Of course I’m not 53 him. If he is a little slow.” She paused. “ Oh, I should tell you Ben has Down’s Syndrome.(唐氏综合症)” I stopped writing . I wasn’t sure how to 54 . But she smiled “Ben was meant for us, don’t you see? He needs me more than a 55 developing child would.” She sat on the sofa, holding her son. Both of them smiled. “You wanted a story with a happy ending,” said the woman “ You got it.” 小题1: A．afford B．affect C．adopt D．adapt 小题2: A．ordinary B．standard C．effective D．ridiculous 小题3: A．Wanted B．To Want C．Wanting D．Want 小题4: A．address B．data C．picture D．information 小题5: A．rich B．stable C．considerate D．lonely 小题6: A．occurred to B．turned to C．referred to D．wrote to 小题7: A．titles B．circulations C．names D．columns 小题8: A．kill B．work C．hurt D．do 小题9: A．warm B．weird C．weak D．wild 小题10: A．spirit B．tone C．way D．sound 小题11: A．a birth mother B．a lovely baby C．an ad company D．an orphanage 小题12: A．might B．should C．would D．dared 小题13: A．turned over B．turned up C．turned out D．turned down 小题14: A．safe B．comfortable C．brave D．honest 小题15: A．classified B．identified C．picked D．recognized 小题16: A．look B．appointment C．appearance D．call 小题17: A．pains B．pictures C．clues D．notes 小题18: A．rushing B．speeding C．pressing D．running 小题19: A．reply B．react C．restore D．release 小题20: A．steadily B．gradually C．normally D．regularly
