After Twenty Years
The short story“After Twenty Years” is set in New York on a cold, dark night.Most people have left work to go home, and this part of the city is now quiet.A policeman who is checking the area sees a man outside a shop.He goes up to the man and finds he has a scar on his face.They have a chat and the man starts to tell his story.
“Twenty years ago tonight，” said the man, “ I dined here at ‘Big Joe’ Brady’s with Jimmy Wells, my best chum, and the finest chap in the world.He and I were raised here in New York, just like two brothers, together.I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty.The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune.You couldn’t have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth.Well, we agreed that night (1)that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.We figured(2)that in twenty years each of us ought to have our destiny worked out and our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be.”
“It sounds pretty interesting，” said the policeman.“Rather a long time between meets, though, it seems to me.Haven’t you heard from your friend since you left？”
“Well, yes, for a time we corresponded，” said the other.“But after a year or two we lost track of each other.You see, the West is a pretty big proposition, and I kept hustling around over it pretty lively.But I know (3)Jimmy will meet me here if he’s alive, for he always was the truest, staunchest old chap in the world.He’ll never forget.I came a thousand miles to stand in this door tonight, (4)and it’s worth it if my old partner turns up.”

Happy and her husband Ben，70，have a huge garden.They spent many happy hours together working on it.Most of the neighbours watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden.As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans，we all wished we also had such a large garden.As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market，Happy could be seen picking beans in her backyard.
Last month，Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an “all-day food fest”.We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning.We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9：00 am，there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes，beans，okra and squash.By 10：00 am，there was lots of laughter.We shared a lot of stories.By five o’clock，everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer.After dinner，we played games.As we were leaving，Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty(收成) of the day，already packaged and frozen.What a delightful gift!
Well，the point wasn’t so much about the food.The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company.None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Ben’s garden.Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decide to plant a garden.And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

答案 1.is kept [句意：友谊就像一瓶酒，存放的时间越长，就越甜。根据后句使用将来时可知，前句的条件句应用一般现在时。从句中的谓语动词keep与主语it之间为动宾关系，需用被动语态。]
2.choice [句意：当我们渴的时候，它会是我们最好的选择。在形容词最高级best的后面要接名词，动词choose的名词是choice。]
3.However [句意：然而在高速发展的现代社会，实际情况完全不是这样了。根据句意可知第二段内容和第一段内容之间为转折关系，所以使用however。]
4.to enjoy [句意：越来越多的人忘记享受生活的美，忘记享受友谊的美了。短语forget to do sth忘记要做某事；forget doing sth忘记做了某事。]
5.higher [句意：他们努力工作为了在社会中获得更高的地位、挣得更多的钱。根据earn more money可知空处也应该使用比较级higher。]
6.it [句意：我们无法否认在生活中找到一个更好的位置很重要，但是我们希望越来越多的人能够注意自己和朋友。本句中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式to find a better place in our lives。]
7.to [句意：但是我们希望越来越多的人能够注意自己和朋友。短语pay attention to...注意到……。]
8.staying [句意：当我们和朋友一起的时候，我们可以完全释放自己。本句中与句子主语we与动词stay构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词在句中充当状语。]
9.completely [句意：当我们和朋友一起的时候，我们可以完全释放自己。在英语中，通常使用副词修饰动词、形容词或副词。]
10.a [句意：有一个著名的箴言这样说：朋友就像棉被，但真正温暖你的还是你自己的体温。本句中名词motto是一个可数名词，其前应用不定冠词a。]

After Twenty Years
The short story“After Twenty Years” is set in New York on a cold, dark night.Most people have left work to go home, and this part of the city is now quiet.A policeman who is checking the area sees a man outside a shop.He goes up to the man and finds he has a scar on his face.They have a chat and the man starts to tell his story.
“Twenty years ago tonight，” said the man, “ I dined here at ‘Big Joe’ Brady’s with Jimmy Wells, my best chum, and the finest chap in the world.He and I were raised here in New York, just like two brothers, together.I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty.The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune.You couldn’t have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth.Well, we agreed that night (1)that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.We figured(2)that in twenty years each of us ought to have our destiny worked out and our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be.”
“It sounds pretty interesting，” said the policeman.“Rather a long time between meets, though, it seems to me.Haven’t you heard from your friend since you left？”
“Well, yes, for a time we corresponded，” said the other.“But after a year or two we lost track of each other.You see, the West is a pretty big proposition, and I kept hustling around over it pretty lively.But I know (3)Jimmy will meet me here if he’s alive, for he always was the truest, staunchest old chap in the world.He’ll never forget.I came a thousand miles to stand in this door tonight, (4)and it’s worth it if my old partner turns up.”

Happy and her husband Ben，70，have a huge garden.They spent many happy hours together working on it.Most of the neighbours watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden.As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans，we all wished we also had such a large garden.As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market，Happy could be seen picking beans in her backyard.
Last month，Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an “all-day food fest”.We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning.We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9：00 am，there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes，beans，okra and squash.By 10：00 am，there was lots of laughter.We shared a lot of stories.By five o’clock，everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer.After dinner，we played games.As we were leaving，Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty(收成) of the day，already packaged and frozen.What a delightful gift!
Well，the point wasn’t so much about the food.The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company.None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Ben’s garden.Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decide to plant a garden.And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

答案 1.is kept [句意：友谊就像一瓶酒，存放的时间越长，就越甜。根据后句使用将来时可知，前句的条件句应用一般现在时。从句中的谓语动词keep与主语it之间为动宾关系，需用被动语态。]
2.choice [句意：当我们渴的时候，它会是我们最好的选择。在形容词最高级best的后面要接名词，动词choose的名词是choice。]
3.However [句意：然而在高速发展的现代社会，实际情况完全不是这样了。根据句意可知第二段内容和第一段内容之间为转折关系，所以使用however。]
4.to enjoy [句意：越来越多的人忘记享受生活的美，忘记享受友谊的美了。短语forget to do sth忘记要做某事；forget doing sth忘记做了某事。]
5.higher [句意：他们努力工作为了在社会中获得更高的地位、挣得更多的钱。根据earn more money可知空处也应该使用比较级higher。]
6.it [句意：我们无法否认在生活中找到一个更好的位置很重要，但是我们希望越来越多的人能够注意自己和朋友。本句中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式to find a better place in our lives。]
7.to [句意：但是我们希望越来越多的人能够注意自己和朋友。短语pay attention to...注意到……。]
8.staying [句意：当我们和朋友一起的时候，我们可以完全释放自己。本句中与句子主语we与动词stay构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词在句中充当状语。]
9.completely [句意：当我们和朋友一起的时候，我们可以完全释放自己。在英语中，通常使用副词修饰动词、形容词或副词。]
10.a [句意：有一个著名的箴言这样说：朋友就像棉被，但真正温暖你的还是你自己的体温。本句中名词motto是一个可数名词，其前应用不定冠词a。]
