8.?江蘇省啟東中學(xué)2009屆高三最后一卷 ?完形填空

I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large ? ?36 ? ?across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-age children. At the end of the day, he would ? ?37 ? ?his taxi on the road. I ? ?38 ? ?why he did not park it in the garage.?

Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home from ??39 ? , leave his taxi and go out for his ? ?40 ? ?affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was ? ?41 ? .?

I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I ? ?42 ? ?to be outside one evening two weeks ? ?43 ? , when the garage door was ? ?44 ? ?and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce （勞斯萊斯）! It shook me completely ? ?45 ? ?I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But ? ?46 ? ?inside, he saw himself as something else: A Rolls-Royce owner and a （an） ? 47 ? . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and ? ?48 ? ?him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove or a （an） ? ?49 ? .?

We go to bed every night and wake up every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a ? ?50 ? ?as close friends or go for a vacation as a ? ?51 ? . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we ??52 ? the social ladder—how much bigger and better a ? ?53 ? ?we have. And we ? ?54 ?our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on ? ?55 ? ?we are than what we do!?
