I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she some of her insight with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the of her desk and sat down there.
With a gentle look on her face, she paused and said,Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves...and of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is a(an) that we must make the most out of every single day.
Her eyes beginning to , she went on,So I would like you all to make me a ...from now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something you see---it be a scent(香味)--perhaps of baked bread wafting out of someone's house, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground. Please, look for these things, and remember them.
For, it may sound silly to some people, these things are the 'stuff' of life. The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. The things we often take for . We must make important to notice them, for at any time...it can all be taken away.
The class was pletely quiet. We all picked up our books and filed out of the room .That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what a deep she made on all us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all .
Take notice of something you see on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot. Or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double dip ice cream cone. as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often , but the things we didn't do.

【小题4】B 语法分析，本题是一个定语从句，先行词是a thought，在定语从句中which指代先行词做主语。

【小题13】B 固定搭配。Take sth for granted认为…理所当然；这些都是我们认为理所当然的事情，但是我们必须知道认识到这些事情很重要。
【小题14】语法分析。在英语中只有it可以作为形式主语或者形式宾语，本句的it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语。
