1. (2020九上·潮安月考) 完形填空

I know Catherine who is smart, educated and interesting. But I avoid her because she never1 complaining! For years, I fought against my feelings, because I really like and admire her, but I've found I just can't be her friend. Her world is full of "buts…" The trip would have been nice, but the drive was too long. The food was good, but the light of the restaurant was too2 . The hotel was too hot, the bed hurt her back and the room service was too slow. Her complaints were3 changing me. Months ago, my best friend Daisy was listening to me complaining about Catherine4 she just became really angry. "Either break up with her, or leave me alone." She shouted at me, "I'm tired of 5your complaining." Her honesty surprised me, and I began to keep myself away from Catherine. Later, I did6 her.

Now I try to remain happy and positive about life, and find friends of the same. There's been scientific research lately. It shows that people who find7 to be thankful for their life are actually happier, and I believe that is true. Endless complaining seems to control your life if you let it come into your brain. And too much complaining will actually make your life8 .

    Some people take "gratitude(感激之情) walks" every day, where they9 their life in a positive way. By developing a grateful attitude, you can be turned away from what's troubling you, and 10 what makes you happy. Then you will have a beautiful life.
