Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate．He is always in a good 36 and always has something 37 to say．
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the 38 how to look on the positive side of the situation．Seeing this style really made me 39 , so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, I don' t 40 ．You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?
Michael replied, each morning I 41 and say to myself 'Mike, you have two 42 today．You can choose to be in a 43 mood or be in a bad mood．' I 44 to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a 45 or choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．
Yeah, right．It isn't that easy． I protested．
Yes it is, Michael said．Life is all about choices．You choose how you react 46 situations and how people will affect your mood．You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood．The bottom line is: It's your choice 47 you live life．
Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious 48 , falling off 60 feet from a munications tower．After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive 49 , Michael recovered．When I asked him what had 50 his mind as the accident took place．
The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter, Michael replied．Then, as I 51 on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to 52 ．I chose to live．
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also 53 his amazing attitude．
I learned from him 54 every day we have a choice to live fully． 55 is everything．

(答案→)36-40 ABCDD 41-45 CBABC 46-50 DCCBA 51-55 BCDCA
解析：
36．A由下文第三段的 “I．．．to be in a good mood．”可知，答案为A项。
37．B由下文第二段的 “You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”可知，Michael总是乐观的，并且总有积极的事情去说。
38．C由本段中的 “If an employee was having a bad day,．．．”可知，如果员工有不愉快的一天，Michael就告诉这个士兵如何去看待生活的积极的一面。
39．D由下文的 “．．．so one day I went up to Michael and asked him,．．．．You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”可知，作者好奇，所以问出这样的问题。因此，答案为D项。
40．D get it “了解，懂得”；make it “及时到达，成功，约定时间”；从上下文来看，作者不明白。因此问了下面的问题, “You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”
41．C由 “each morning”可知，醒来并自己告诉自己。因此，答案为C项。take up拿起，占去，接受； make up组成，编造； bring up教育，提及，呕吐。
42．B由下文的 “You can choose to be in a ．．．mood or be in a bad mood．”可知，是两个选择，因此，答案为B项。
43．A由下文的 “．．．or be in a bad mood．及to be in a good mood．”可知，此处选择A项。
44．B由上文的 “You can choose to be in a．．．”可知，此处答案为B项。
45．C由上文的 “Each time something bad happens,．．．．．or choose to learn from it．”可知，要么从坏事中学习，要么成为受害者。因此，答案为C项。
46．D考查短语react to．．．对……作出反应（评价，应答）；react by以…方式作出反应; react against反对; 反抗; react with与…起化学反应。从题中可以看出，是对情况作出反应，因此，选择D项。
47．C从句法分析，you live life主谓宾都有，因此，选择how，句意为：过怎样的生活是你的选择。
48．C由下文的 “．．．,falling off 60 feet from a munications tower．After l8 hours of surgery,．．．” 可知，Michael遇到了意外事故，因此，答案为C项。
49．B由本句知，在18个小时的手术后以及数周的intensive care重病特别护理后，他恢复了。因此，答案为B项。
50．A由下文的 “The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter,．．．”可知。go through穿过，经过；break through突围，突破；look through仔细检查；read through仔细阅读。
51．B由上文的知，Michael从60英尺高的信息塔上掉下来，因此，只能是躺在地上了。
52．C由文中的 “．．．remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or．．．”知，与活相对应的应该是die死了。
53．D由上文的 “Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also．．．”知，Michael活下来，由于他的医生们的技能，而且……，可知，另一个也是原因。所以，选择D项。so long as只要；in case of万一，如果； instead of代替，而不是。
54．C分析句子结构，that此处是引导宾语从句，在句中不做成分，只起引导作用。
55．A从全文来分析，以及让Michael从意外事故中活过来的原因 “his amazing attitude”可知，是态度决定一切。
