In a village near a desert lived a young and successful businessman named James. He often felt ___1___ because of the endless challenges he faced.
One day, a wise old man came to the village with 100 camels (骆驼). James went to see him and said, “I always have business worries, family troubles and health problems. Please tell me how to make them ___2___ .”
The old man smiled and said, “I’ll give you an ___3___ tomorrow morning. But first, can you do a small thing for me?” James agreed. The old man asked him to take care of the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all ___4___ and rested before he could go to sleep.
The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly, “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.” “That’s true. Some camels sat down on their own, ___5___ others required some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even after quite a lot of effort,” the old man said.
James nodded.
The old man continued, “Your problems are just ___6___ the camels. There are always some problems that cannot get solved even if you’ve tried your best. Leave such problems to time until one day they themselves come to an end.”
James felt a sense of understanding. It completely changed the way he saw life’s challenges.
1.1.
A
B
C
D
解析：选unhappy。此空所在句的句意为“他经常因为面临的无数挑战而感到_____”。 从后文“I always have business worries, family troubles and health problems”可知，James总是有生意上的烦恼、家庭问题和健康问题，所以他应该是经常感到“不开心的”，unhappy意为“不开心的”，符合题意hard意为“困难的”，like意为“像”，stood up意为“站起来”，均不符合语境。因此，此空应填：unhappy。
2.2.
A
B
C
D
解析：选disappear。此空所在句的句意为“请告诉我如何使它们_____”。从后文“Your problems are just like the camels. There are always some problems that cannot get solved even if you’ve tried your best”可知，James的问题就像骆驼一样，有些问题是无法解决的，所以James想让老人告诉他如何使这些问题“消失”，disappear意为“消失”，符合题意。answer意为“回答”，or意为“或者”，均不符合语境。因此，此空应填：disappear。
3.3.
A
B
C
D
解析：选answer。此空所在句的句意为“明天早上我会给你一个_____”。从后文“But first, can you do a small thing for me”可知，老人让James先为他做一件小事，所以此处应该是在说明天会给James一个“答案”，answer意为“答案”，符合题意。while意为“当……时”，为连词，不可单独作宾语，可排除。因此，此空应填：answer。
4.4.
A
B
C
D
解析：选sat down。此空所在句的句意为“老人让他照顾这100只骆驼一个晚上，确保在他睡觉之前它们都_____并休息了”。从后文“I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together”可知，James一整晚都没睡好，因为骆驼们不能安静地坐在一起，所以此处应该是在说老人让James确保骆驼们都“坐下”，sat down意为“坐下”，符合题意。stood up意为“站起来”，与后文内容相悖，可排除。因此，此空应填：sat down。
5.5.
A
B
C
D
解析：选while。从本空所在句“Some camels sat down on their own, _____ others required some effort”可知，前半句说“一些骆驼自己坐下了”，后半句应该是说“_____另一些骆驼则需要一些努力才能坐下”，“while”能够准确地表达出句子中两种不同情况（一部分骆驼自己坐下，另一部分骆驼需要努力才能坐下）之间的对比关系。因此，此空应填：while。
6.6.
A
B
C
D
解析：选like。此空所在句的句意为“你的问题就像_____骆驼”。从后文“There are always some problems that cannot get solved even if you’ve tried your best”可知，老人是在拿骆驼来比喻James的问题，说明有些问题是无法解决的，就像骆驼一样，不是所有的骆驼都能坐下，所以此处应该填“like”，意为“像”，符合题意。hard意为“困难的”，disappear意为“消失”，均不符合语境。因此，此空应填：like。
