北师大版选修八Unit 23 B卷
Ⅰ.完形填空
(2017·东北三校第一次联考)This is my third story. When I was 17, I read a quote that __1__something like, “If you live each day__2__it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.” Since then, for the past thirtythree years, I've looked __3__the mirror every morning and asked myself:“If today were the last 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 __4__, I know I need to change something.
About a year ago I was __5__with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should __6__ to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my __7__in order, which is doctors' code for “prepare to __8__”.Later that evening when the doctors __9__the cells taken from my pancreas (胰腺) under a microscope, they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is __10__with surgery. I had the surgery and, __11__, 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 more decades. Death is the __12__we all share. No one has __13__escaped it.

Your time is __17__, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma (信条) — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of __18__opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to __19__your heart and intuition(直觉). They __20__already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
