三、綜合測驗:(每題 2分,共 30 分)
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last,
someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33
years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the (1) day of
my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for
too many days in a (2) , I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've (3) encountered to help me
make the big choices in life. Because almost ev erything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of
embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only (4) is truly
important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking
you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason (5) to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly
showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was
almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live (6) longer than
three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs (7) order, which is
doctor's code for preparing to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have
the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so
that it will be (8) easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy. The tumor turned out to be a
very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few (9)
decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than (10)
death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. (11)
yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,
because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears
out the old to make way (12) th e new . Ri ght now the new is y ou, b ut s ome day not too long
(13) now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is
quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma –
which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown
out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to (14) your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything (15) is secondary.

To be admitted to the Visa Waiver Program, a country must meet various security and other
requirements, such as enhanced law enforcement and security-related data sharing with the United
States and timely reporting of both blank and issued lost and stolen passports. VWP members are also
required to maintain high counterterrorism, law enforcement, border control, and document security
standards. In addition, designation as a VWP country is at the discretion of the United States
government. Meeting the objective requirements of the VWP does not guarantee a successful
candidacy for VWP membership.
