Yesterday I totally changed my views about life after a talk with one of my friends. He told me despite being 36 , he was happy and 37 that it was because of something he saw in India．
A few years ago he was 38 feeling sad and was touring India．He said right in front of his very eyes, he saw an Indian mother 39 her child’s right hand with a knife．The helpless 40 in the mother’s eyes and the painful scream of the 41 four-year-old child still remained in his mind．
The 42 mother made the child handicapped （disabled） 43 he could go out on the streets to beg． 44 by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating．And almost at once, several children 45 around this small piece of bread covered with sand, 46 bits from one another．It was the 47 reaction of hunger．He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread． 48 he gave out the bread to the children （mostly handicapped）, he 49 cheers and bows from these 50 children．For the first time in his life, he understood 51 people could give up their 52 for a loaf of bread．He came to 53 how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to 54 about food that didn’t taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him 55 dreamed of having．Perhaps life wasn’t bad at all．

网友回答
(答案→)C
解析：全文讲述了与朋友的一次谈话改变了“我”对生活的态度。
【小题1】C下文是解释负债in debt而又很高兴的原因。
【小题1】A 他高兴并解释explain是因为他在印度所见。
【小题1】B由语境可知，“我”的朋友在去印度旅行目睹了那情景后，才改变了对生活的态度，觉得和那里的人比起来，自己很幸运。所以以前他也的确是(really)很悲观。而certainly确定地；seriously严肃，认真地； absolutely绝对地； 均不符合文意。
【小题1】D 由下一段的第一句话可知，这位绝望的母亲是通过用刀切掉(cut off)孩子右手的方式使她的孩子残疾(handicapped)的。
【小题1】A 这位母亲这时眼睛里流露出的应是无助的表情(expression)，而不是hope(希望)，impression(印象)和anger(愤怒)。
【小题1】C 母亲是生活所迫不得已而为之，所以孩子是无辜的(innocent)。而guilty(有罪的； 内疚的)，tiresome(烦人的)，numb(麻木的)，均不符合文意。
【小题1】C desperate绝望的母亲迫使孩子残疾。
【小题1】B so that 引导目的状语从句，目的是为了他能够在街上乞讨。
【小题1】D 朋友对眼前的这一幕感到非常震惊(shocked)，因为在这之前他只知道自己不幸。而感到困惑的(puzzled)和讨厌的(disgusted)都不能描述朋友当时的心理状况。
【小题1】A 当他把一小块面包掉到地上时，马上就有好几个孩子聚拢(gather)在这一小块沾满沙子的小面包上，一个接一个的一点儿一点儿地吃。
【小题1】C 这(指上文提到的几个小孩抢面包)是饥饿的本能(natural)反应。
【小题1】D as当……的时候。当他发面包给孩子的时候。
【小题1】A 联系空后的cheers and bows我们可以知道，他受到了孩子们的欢呼与鞠躬。
【小题1】B 不幸的unfortunate 孩子。
【小题1】C 生命中第一次，他理解了人们怎么how为一块面包放弃自己的尊严。
【小题1】D honor尊敬， 荣誉；identity身份，特征(指从本质上确认或识别某物的一系列特征的总和); morals道德； 均不符合句意。
【小题1】B e to realize 开始意识到，逐渐认识到。句意：他开始意识到能拥有一个健康的身体、一份工作，一个家庭，有机会抱怨(plain)不好吃的食物，还拥有许多眼前这些不幸的孩子做梦都没有梦到过的东西是多么地幸运！这里暗示他对生活的态度开始发生了改变。acknowledge承认(表示不情愿或在压力之下揭示真相); conclude推断(通过推理得出逻辑性的结论或结果); recognize承认，认可(认识到或表现出接受……的合理性或真实性); 均不符合文意。
【小题1】A 这里是把自己抱怨(plain)食物不好吃和眼前的这些孩子们没得吃作比较。
【小题1】C 在他面前的人从来没有never梦想过的。
