三、任务型阅读（共2题；共10分）
23.任务型阅读
    I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women.________At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today.________ It is my fault.”
    When things don't turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better.________
    There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense—there is a reason for everything that happens.
    The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen.________A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks.________When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.
A. That long airplane ride was more than she could take.
B. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
C. Life and dead is an unsolved mystery.
D. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
E. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him.
F. Both died a natural death.
G. They believe that they are responsible for what has happened.

    Whether in your life or work, the following things are not the reasons for you to feel embarrassed. It's OK and just move on.
⒈Mistakes while learning
    There will be times when you have people above you(a boss) or even next to you(a coworker) that will get really annoyed with you for“ruining"  something "important".________ Even if you make mistakes and get a punishment, persevere and push on. You do not need to be embarrassed for learning from your mistakes.
⒉Food choices
    People are different and have different taste buds（味蕾）.Whether it is healthy or not, food is a choice and it is part of life.________  You do not need to be embarrassed for food you do or do not like. Tell them, "It is a personal choice I have made, and I am committed to it.”
⒊Your past
    Allowing positive experiences to define, limit, improve, and outshine（凸显）you may cause you to be caught up in the past and unable to truly live in the present. Whether your history is positive, negative, or somewhere in between, don't hold on to the negative experiences and let it reflect your current behavior，________
⒋The clean lines of your car／home／workspace
    When everyone gets in the car, you realize your Starbuck bags are still on the floor. So what? Think about it this way: everyone has a "messy" aspect of their life. Maybe their home is completely clean, but the relationship with their spouse（配偶）is messy. Someone's car gets washed once a week, but his/her work life could use some help.________ We don't apologize to others about our personal limitations. By being outwardly embarrassed, it only brings more attention to the fact!
⒌Putting yourself first
    If you find yourself saying no to something or making up lies to get out of it,tell them the truth,  and don't apologize. You will feel much better in the long run if you are honest with them and yourself. If you're not up to a voluntary duty, you don't have to be. You can politely refuse the person's request.
    ________ Put yourself first.
A. It is simply a personal choice that people make for their own reasons.

    Writing was my favorite class at school. My teacher, Bebe Usi, was devoting and encouraging. We each spent several classes make a paper mask and wore it when reading our own work before the class. I have forgotten that composition now, but I remember the feeling of mask on my face and my heart was beating wild as I shared my composition. I was afraid of but proud. I have written many compositions before that but none of which had been chosen to be read before the class. They perhaps weren't the best composition and the most beautiful mask in my class. But they both were my.
