It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along 36 the song playing on the radio. I 37 at the intersection(交叉路口) and looked both ways. The road was 38 . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came straight at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car 39 the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car 40 me by inches without even slowing down.
41 I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips, 42 after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me 43 . With a red face and a(an) 44 smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.
Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain 45 words ing from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the 46 over and over in his mind. Too 47 I realized the 48 of those words that had 49 from my lips in that moment of anger. It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the 50 of that incident.
That 51 , however, did teach me just how strong words 52 be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words uplifting and 53 instead. I slowly realized that language is a gift from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned 54 that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a 55 spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.

解析：试题分析：作者在自己的一次亲身经历中，无意中表露的恶劣态度和语言对孩子产生了不良的影响，由此意识到了语言的重要性和影响力。提醒人们要在生活中使用美好的语言给人带来愉快，使人振作，给人安慰；而不要恶语相加。

【小题2】B动词短语辨析。A靠边停车；B停车，停止；C 离站；D撤退，毁约。从下文可知作者要转弯，根据常识可知作者应该是在十字路口原地停下车，去看道路交通状况，而A选项强调靠路边停车，所以选B。句意：我在十字路口停下向道路两边看。
【小题3】C形容词辨析。A干净的；B轻的；C无障碍的；D繁忙的。从上文的Traffic was light.判断此时马路上车辆稀少，应该是道路畅通无阻，所以作者才转弯，所以正确选项是C。

【小题6】C连词辨析。A当。。。时候；B 在。。。之后；C 在。。。之前；D通向。从情理推断作者当时险些被撞，所以应该是气急败坏，不由自主的咒骂起来，故C选项正确。
【小题7】A动词辨析。A追逐；B狩猎；C看；D 寻找。从上文The speeder zoomed (疾驰) 。。。without even slowing down. 可知肇事汽车疾驰而过，作者的咒骂只能是在司机身后，所以A选项正确。
【小题8】B副词辨析。A及其，很坏地；B 天真无邪地；清白无辜地；C 勇敢地；D典型地。孩子是单纯，天真无邪的，而且由下文作者的叙述可知孩子受到影响回家后也学会了咒骂，所以此处填B。
【小题9】B形容词辨析。A高兴的；B 尴尬的；C 惊讶的；D 担心的。根据With a red face和下文mistake一词的出现可知作者意识到在孩子面前犯了一个错误，对孩子产生了不好的影响，所以此处应该是尴尬的表现，故B选项正确。
【小题10】B形容词辨析。A 严重的；B不愉快的；C精确的；D 极好的。从下文可知儿子在学作者的咒骂，所以应该用令人不快的话语，所以B选项正确。
