I had never 22 been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was 23 — almost 125°F even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌). 24 a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed, were 25 with sand, sand, sand! I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was 26 and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I 27 be in prison!

The desert hadn’t changed, 37 I had. I had changed my 38 . And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing 39 of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and 40 the stars. 21.A. off B. behind C. near D. beyond 22.A. before B. already C. then D. still 23.A. inflexible B. incomprehensible C. uncontrollable D. unbearable 24.A.
