“Wishing for or desiring something is futile without an inner compulsion to achieve it. Such lack of compulsion, if not frankly acknowledged, can lead to great personal unhappiness. We have all met deeply unhappy souls muddling along in professions or careers for which they are patently unsuited. Worse still, by continually wishing and never delivering, you risk denting your confidence, beginning a vicious downward spiral that appears to draw misfortune like a magnet. The assumption that you might be able to achieve some goal if you only wished hard enough is not just a f***-up. It’s a potential personal tragedy.”

I'm at a loss to know what to do. 　　It's stopped raining at last! 　　He's very busy and can't accept any more work at present. 　　I'll be at home tonight. 　　2.多项选择题答案 　　1. c 　　根据课文第3-4行 I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool 可判断只有c. There was something in his mouth 最符合课文的真实情况，这也是作者不能讲话的唯一原因，其他3个选择都不是原因，所以只能选c. 　　2. b 　　根据课文第8-10行I suddenly felt very worried,…when the dentist at last removed the cotton wool… I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth 可以判断b. he thought the dentist had pulled out the wrong tooth 是作者着急的唯一原因，其他3个选择都不是他着急的原因，所以选b. 　　3. c 　　只有选c. cannot 才能使句子同前一句It is impossible for him to answer.(他是不可能回答的)意义相同,所以c.是正确答案.a. might not 与d .may not 都不符合题目意思. b. could not 时态不对. 　　4. b 　　本句是将前一句中表示命令请求的间接引语变成了直接引语(祈使句)。 　　a. To rest 是动词不定式，不能做祈使句的谓语; 　　c. Do you rest是疑问句，不能表示请求; 　　d. Resting 是动名词也不能做祈使句的谓语; 　　只有b. Rest 可以做祈使句的谓语,所以选b. 　　5. a 　　本句是将前一句中的间接疑问句...how my brother was 变成直接疑问句，因此时态和语序都要作相应改变。 　　b. your brother was, c. your brother is 都不是疑问句语序，所以都不对。 　　d. was your brother 语序正确，但时态不对：间接引语是过去时，直接引语应该是现在时才正确。只有a. is your brother 语序和时态都正确，所以应该选a. 　　6. c 　　这是一个疑问句，a. It likes you , b. Does it like you 和d. Like you 这3个选择都意思不通，不符合题目意思，只有c. Do you like 意思通顺，符合疑问句语序，因此只能选c. 　　7. b 　　介词by 后面加动名词可以表示方式。 本句只能选b. nodding(点头)，因为它是动名词，可以放在by 后面作方式状语。 其他3个选择都不能放在介词by 后面，所以选b. 　　8. b 　　本句需要选一个同前一句中时间短语for a while (一会儿)意义相同的短语。a. quietly (安静地)，c. while he spoke to me (当他跟我说话时)，d. for a long time (很久)这3个选择都与for a while 的意义不符。 只有b. for a short time (短时间)同for a while 的含义相同，因此选b. 　　9. d 　　a. assembly (集会，聚会)，b. gathering (聚集，收集抽象的东西，如消息等)，c. congregation (聚集，聚合) ， d. collection (收集，收藏如邮票，硬币等)，只有d最适合这个句子，其他3个选择都不能与火柴盒连用，所以选d. 　　10. a 　　前一句 I nodded(我点头)表示同意，只有a. agreed (同意)才是这一动作所表达的含义。b. said no (说不)，c. shouted (高喊)，d. whispered (耳语) 这3个选择都不是nodded所表达的含义，所以选a. 　　11. b 　　本句需要选出同前一句中的Meanwhile(同时)意义相同的词或短语。 　　a. However(不过，然而);b. In the mean time(同时);c. Never the less(尽管如此，不过);d. Although(虽然);这4个选择中只有b.同Meanwhile 的意义相同，所以选b. 　　12. c 　　a. took it off (脱下)，b. took it in (理解)，c. took it out (取出)，和d. took it up (从事于)4个选择中只有c. took it out 同前一句He removed the cotton wool from my mouth(他将药棉从我嘴里取出)的含义相同，所以选c.
