It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long 1 , my friends and I had decided to 2 and take some extra courses. We had 3 the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was 4 into a stuffy (愁闷的)former laundry room and each night was a new 5 in humidity. Still, it felt 6 to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks, 7 , the thrill faded and 8 set in. I found myself sitting alone each night 9 my home and my parents. My summer holidays had always been a 10 time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I 11 helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food 12 with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet 13 . Now I found myself missing them 14 than ever. Finally when my 15 were at their lowest, I heard a 16 at the door. I opened it and was 17 to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my 18 heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating 19 , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved. Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the 20 that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life. 小题1: A．journey B．term C．break D．way 小题2: A．leave B．stay C．relax D．travel 小题3: A．rented B．bought C．painted D．repaired 小题4: A．made B．changed C．jammed D．hidden 小题5: A．wish B．pleasure C．experiment D．adventure 小题6: A．exciting B．boring C．astonishing D．moving 小题7: A．anyway B．though C．therefore D．instead 小题8: A．headache B．loneliness C．satisfaction D．homesickness 小题9: A．forgetting about B．relying on C．thinking of D．referring to 小题10: A．special B．terrible C．specific D．difficult 小题11: A．gave up B．had trouble in C．put off D．took pride in 小题12: A．frozen B．prepared C．tasted D．kept 小题13: A．laughter B．scream C．whistle D．sigh 小题14: A．less B．more C．worse D．better 小题15: A．minds B．dreams C．spirits D．thoughts 小题16: A．kick B．hit C．crash D．knock 小题17: A．disappointed B．surprised C．puzzled D．encouraged 小题18: A．hungry B．open C．sick D．gentle 小题19: A．making up B．getting up C．catching up D．taking up 小题20: A．sign B．chance C．secret D．belief
