I am a team leader in an insurance pany. We are going through a lot of changes right now, which is 36 much stress for all of us.
A few weeks ago I was having a day so 37 that I even doubted if I had the ability to do this challenging work, and was about ready to change to a less stressful job 38 . Something happened that day to change my way of 39 and I am so appreciative of this young lady. I want to let her know that the small act 40 .
On the top of my cubicle (工作隔间) I have a small collection of lighthouses (灯塔) to let people know where I am sitting 41 my team members have to find me for emergencies.
That day I came into the office and was about to get the day 42 when Crystal came over. I asked if she needed anything. And she said, “I 43 you something.” I looked at her with a 44 look and said, “Well, thank you, but why 45 you buy me anything?” I had never spoke to this young lady 46 . She said, “Every day I stand up and look across the 47 and see your lighthouses. Then I feel I am not alone and I encourage myself that there are always 48 things in life. I saw this on the way to work and thought 49 would like it. I wish it would have the same 50 as your lighthouses do.” In her hand she had a small globe with a lighthouse and a ship on it. I gave her a hug and 51 her. I don’t think she knows how much that small act of 52 changed my day: I remained 53 the rest of the day.
For anyone that reads this, I hope you remember, no matter what the 54 is, you could change someone’s day, 55 even his views on life.

网友回答
(答案→)C
解析：
【小题1】C。根据文章第二段第一句可推知，应是给公司里的人造成很多压力。
【小题1】C。根据“I even doubted if I had the ability to take this challenging work”，可知作者觉得这项工作压力太大，因此这里应选“糟糕的”。
【小题1】B。由文意可知，此处表达：这里的工作压力太大，所以作者想在别处找一个轻松些的工作。
【小题1】D。联系上下文可知，这位“年轻的女士”的行为是对作者的鼓励，因而也改变了作者之前的想法和认识。
【小题1】B。根据上文“I am so appreciative of this young lady”可知，应选B。
【小题1】A。第一段提到作者是team leader，因此他在工作隔间顶上放上灯塔，以防队员有急事找他。
【小题1】B。start开始。那天我进入办公室，准备一天的开始。
【小题1】D。bought是buy的过去式，买。我给你买些东西。
【小题1】A。with a delighted look带着高兴的表情。
【小题1】B。dare敢。但为什么你敢给我买任何东西？
【小题1】A。before在……前面。我从没有在这个年轻的女士前说过话。
【小题1】C。根据后文“with a lighthouse and a ship on it”可知为ship。
【小题1】D。stressful有压力的。在生活中总是有有压力的事情。
【小题1】B。我在去工作的路上，想领导会喜欢它的。
【小题1】C。这位女士送给作者礼物以鼓励作者，是一种善意的举动。
【小题1】B。第二段提到作者感到沮丧，再根据上文的“changed my day”，可知选B。
【小题1】C。该文的主旨是：善良的举动，无论多么微小，都可以对其他人产生影响。这种举动不一定就是送礼物，因此排除A；gesture与上文的act对应。
【小题1】C。根据句意“……你可以改变他人的一天，或者甚至是他对生活的看法”可知，应选C。
