As I was about to 52 , the postmaster appeared in the   53 .“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office 54 we make one for you.

36 本句句意为：像很多人一样，我生来就认为生活就是获得，直到三十多岁的时候才发现，放弃或给予也会使得生活如此精彩。再者，后文也提到了这种发现。
37 你缺钱也无须担心，因为生活并不只是一味的索取。
38 下文列举的事例都是作者生活中经历的事情。
39 本句主语为 an idea。主意在某人脑海中闪现用flash 。happen to …发生在某人身上；stick to坚持; lead to导致，其宾语一般不为人。
40 根据前文提到的neighborhood store可知答案。
41 story故事，事情。出现事故，警察应了解事情的经过真相。damage 破坏；challenge 挑战；material物质，材料。
42 根据后文tell him about it 可知作者是打电话告诉警察事情的经过。
43 作者虽然不负责这里的事情，但他却主动帮助警察了解事故经过。
44 上文列举的事例都表明作者想主动帮助别人而不希望得到什么。
45 return回报。根据转折连词though和下文所列举的事例表明，帮助别人有时候在不经意时也会得到回报。
46 根据下文的postmaster说的话中可知答案。
47 address此处为动词，注明……的地址。信上标明收信人的地址是我办公室的地址，但邮递员却把它送到了我的家里。
48 appreciation欣赏，赞赏。邮递员把本来该送到办公室的信送到家里，人们通常只会责备他们，而作者却与此相反，非但没有责备，而是写了一封表扬信。他也因此得到了回报。
49 本句为定语从句，横线上所缺动词的宾语为new business 。deal 为不及物动词，故排除。作者开办了一项新的业务。
50 结合上下文可知，邮局里已没有剩余的邮箱，但作者原来无意的付出却使得邮递员愿意为他做一个。
51 邮局里没有剩余的邮箱，要想安装邮箱，只能等到有的时候。
52 作者被告知已没有邮箱，只好离开。
53 根据故事发生的地点，可排除C，D。另外，根据介词in排除A项。作者正要离开，邮递员在门口拦住了他。
54 本句句意为在这个邮局里，你应该得到一个邮箱，即便是我们给你做一个。in case以防; now that既然,因为；as if 好像。
55 本题考查not …but…结构。不是………而是……。邮递员从顾客那里一般不会得到任何东西，只有抱怨

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
