CDACB 完形填空译文 我喜欢和祖父母一起度周末。我觉得在奶奶的小厨房里特别随意、放松。我们常在那里进行亲密的交谈。奶奶总是在她准备的每一个菜谱里加上点滴哲理。 我特别清楚地记得，那时一个星期六的早晨。吃完早点，我问奶奶：“你今天做什么汤”“蔬菜牛肉汤，”她回答道。“你可以帮我切点儿胡萝卜和芹菜。”我边慢吞吞地给胡萝卜削着皮，边抱怨道：“我下礼拜还要做一个口头的读书报告，我有些害怕。” 奶奶看了看我，说：“大多数人都害怕在公众面前讲话，但你要知道，我们唯一要怕的就是害怕本身。” “但是我不喜欢站在众人面前。我如果忘了要说的话怎么办？” “你有没有准备发言稿？”奶奶问道。 “恩，没有。那要多花工夫。” “那你喜欢我的汤吗？”她问道。汤？我们谈的是我的生活呀，我心里想着。 “我喜欢你的汤，奶奶。”我说。 “那么你知道，现在很多人不再自家做汤了，他们说太麻烦，你得先调好肉汤，然后将所有的蔬菜切成合适的小块。” “但是小麻烦我是不在乎的，”她说。“这使我的汤和我的生活增添了花样和滋味。没有这些蔬菜，我的汤就会乏味，生活中如果没有点小坎坷同样会如此的。” 停了一会儿，奶奶接着说：“而且，你要记住，上帝完全知道他要把年第亿生活安排成什么样子，你要相信他的菜谱。”她笑了，然后走到洗涤槽前开始刷碗。 我帮奶奶收拾的时候思考着她说的话。我还有几天时间练习我的口头报告。 那个星期六，奶奶不仅给了我一碗自家做的炖菜汤，也给我提出了一个引人思考的问题。奶奶那精心调制的每一勺汤都含有美味的肉和菜。当我和爷爷奶奶享用美餐时，不知怎的，我的问题似乎不再那么大了。我得应付我的问题，奶奶说过努力工作是有回报的。也许我也能将一点麻烦变成一个像奶奶自家炖的菜汤一样特别的东西。 56.

More and more farmers are moving to live in cities, so cities are becoming larger and larger. The farmers have chances in cities as well as difficulties. Of course there are many more opportunities in cities so most of them can find jobs to earn a lot of money and improve their living conditions. Their children can go to school and study together with those in cities. Therefore, they are sure that their children will have a brighter future with the help of high-quality education. But at the same time, they have a lot of challenges as well. For example, too many people flood to cities seeking jobs, but there are not enough for them. These people then remain umemployed, and can not afford to buy a house in cities. They have to pay more for education and medical treatment. And finally many of them end up living in poverty. What can be done to help them? I think the government can do a lot to improve their conditions. More houses should be built and sold to them cheaply. Or they may rent houses instead of buying. Their children’s tuitions should also be reduced. On top of these, they should enjoy equal medical insurance. I hope the farmers will be able to overcome their difficulties and live happily in cities.
