二、完形填空（20*1=20分）
I stepped out of the hospital. My heart was filled with sadness and regret. My former best friend, Faith, had just     21    .
She was only 16.     22    , she was diagnosed with a terrible cancer in her right breast. Before her last breath we, who were so     23     to her, gathered around her side,     24     to hold back our tears and     25     her. Everyone wanted to give her their last     26    , but people were just so choked up.
After that moment of deep     27    . I was asked to help go through Faith’s things. Arranging her drawers, I suddenly discovered an     28     letter with the title “ My last words”.
I opened it slowly, checked the date and began to read the letter. The happy girl we had been with us was    29     not as optimistic as we thought. She kept     30     until she couldn’t hold it in any more. But she had a beautiful imagination and great ambition.
In her     31     letter, she mentioned her dreams, her family and her shock in finding the     32    . From her words I could see that she had left us with too many words unsaid and too many deeds undone. I am     33     that she would have reached her goals and achieved her dreams     34     only God had given her some more time.
There is a saying that says fate is fair to everybody. But I just can’t help rejecting that     35    . Faith, who had been a wonderful person and had great plans, had died before achieving her final dreams. It is time that     36     her from reaching her biggest moment. Why did     37     treat her unfairly？
Life is so short and precious that everyone should     38     it. Fate is unfair, which has bee a motivation for me I have bee bent on continuing my dreams and     39     never to give up. I will no longer waste     40     or plaint. I am going to get right down to working with all my strength.
