I was listening to the radio while 1 was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something 41 by the mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. What made the 42 even more tragic was that Bob Collins，the morning show man, was among those who had been killed. Throughout my 40-minute 43 , I listened as sincere love and affection from the audience 44 .The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more 45 I became. That was because I wanted to know 46 we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they 47 to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we 48 someone up after they have died? Yes， 49 memory after memory about someone's good 50 does help us cope with the sadness of losing someone special to us. But as we 51 remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most need to hear 52 . Just once, 53 a gathering of death，1 would like to see a celebration of life, 54 stories are told, tears fall down，laughter rings out；and as the speaker 55 his or her loving tribute(颂词), the person they are 56 rises from the chair and gives them a 57 hug! Wouldn’t that be 58 ! Life is too short to leave kind words 59 . How I wish that when the unavoidable funeral finally comes，we could say 60 with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth. 小题1: A．important B．wrong C．pleasant D．unnoticed 小题2: A．speaker B．radio C．station D．story 小题3: A．drive B．silence C．ride D．tour 小题4: A．poured in B．grew up C．broke out D．got through 小题5: A．determined B．delighted C．discouraged D．devoted 小题6: A．what B．that C．if D．why 小题7: A．impress B．love C．mean D．affect 小题8: A．bring B．build C．pick D．bury 小题9: A．recovering B．showing C．sharing D．losing 小题10: A．qualities B．manners C．records D．attitudes 小题11: A．barely B．lovingly C．suddenly D．finally 小题12: A．him B．them C．it D．us 小题13: A．as for B．apart from C．except for D．instead of 小题14: A．where B．because C．whether D．which 小题15: A．mentions B．writes C．pays D．ends 小题16: A．staring B．listening C．honoring D．talking 小题17: A．tight B．quick C．cold D．necessary 小题18: A．anything B．nothing C．everything D．something 小题19: A．untouched B．unsaid C．unfinished D．unpacked 小题20: A．hello B．sorry C．goodbye D．thanks
