高中英语语法填空:短文题型基础练习 Test 33

Have you ever thought life would be better anywhere other than where you are right now? Maybe some of your thoughts go something like this:

Life will bebetter once I'm out of debt.

I can't wait 　61　 I'm retired because then I can do what I want when I want to.

If only I lived somewhere warm I could exercise all year round and I would be so fit.

If I could just lose 10 pounds I know I would feel better.

Truth is some of your problems may go away once you have met all 　62　 your “if only's” and “better when's”, but it won't make the perfect life that fairy tales are madewarm. New problems will arise and you'll likely find yourself 　63　 (wish) for this “perfect” life to be different still. We can only imagine that the grass will be greener on the other side, 　64　 it's only when we live it do we actually see it for what it really is.

　65　 ideal you have in mind about an alternate lifestyle, location, financial situation etc., rest assured that each one will be met with it's own unique set of problems.

So what can you do about this? Choose to be content with 　66　 you already have.

Look around you and be truly 　67　 (grate) for all that you see. Realize that there are people 　68　 (little) fortunate than you and right now, rightly or wrongly, they are wishing for your exact lifestyle. Think back to 2 years ago, what were you wishing for then? Where did you want to be? Odds are you were largely wishing to be right where you are now. Life happens so 　69　 (gradual) that you tend to lose all perspective of achievements, growth and progress.

It's great to dream big. But those dreams should not cloud the greatness you have in front of you right now. Consider the truth in the grass 　70　 (be) the greenest right under your feet.
