Those days life was so hard that I finally wished that I could just be “left alone”. The thought of going somewhere by myself would give me so much 1 . but then I’d remember when I was alone. Not that 2 _ left me. I was alone by myself in crowded places. It was the 3 that I built around me that would not 4 the outside in or the inside out. When I was a child, I would play this silly 5 . It was always 6 _ because a place in a corner or under a table would do. My favorite place was simply to pull a blanket over my head. I would lie there and 7 , “Right now no one in the world knows where I am!” That thought was so 8 . If you knew me well enough this wouldn’t 9 you…I still do it at 60. It drives my dogs crazy, because they find me and start digging at the blanket until they find a way in. All three of them 10 me. That thought is so satisfying, too. I want you to know that at times we all wish that we could be left _ 11 . The fact that you can be alone with yourself and enjoy it shows clearly who you are. Imagine for a 12 being locked in a room with someone you 13 . It would be torture. So, if you find peace with being with yourself, that is good. However, if you are trying to build a wall so no one can ever 14 , it can’t happen. The light of love can find a 15 through the tiniest cracks. You can pull the covers over your head and love will find you. 小题1: A．trouble B．experience C．pleasure D．worry 小题2: A．anybody B．everyone C．nobody D．someone 小题3: A．idea B．place C．house D．wall 小题4: A．permit B．stop C．find D．turn 小题5: A．match B．program C．competition D．game 小题6: A．interesting B．disappointing C．easy D．different 小题7: A．shout B．think C．cry D．dream 小题8: A．satisfying B．shocking C．important D．strange 小题9: A．fear B．meet C．surprise D．excite 小题10: A．bite B．join C．watch D．excite 小题11: A．quiet B．calm C．alone D．silent 小题12: A．change B．moment C．rest D．chance 小题13: A．respect B．admire C．notice D．dislike 小题14: A．go out B．come to C．get in D．leave for 小题15: A．way B．help C． love D．hope
