Question

第二節：完形填空（30分）
When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the _41_ side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to __42__ in good health, or __43__ about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to __44__ damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text __45__ the title. Therefore, the scissors would __46__ before they start, __47__ halfway done when I find out the __48__result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your __49__. You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be __50__ up. But you know the future is unpredictable --- the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left __51__. Thus you are __52__ in a difficult position and feel sad. How __53_nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life __54__ greatly on our preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what __55__ is like: we are often __56_ with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only __57__we get into another. The __58__ may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I __59__ remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual or passive __60__ may not be a bad one.
Whatever we do in our lifetime, wherever life’s storm tosses us, there must be
something we can achieve, some shore we can land, that opens up new vistas to us.
