I Put Down My Magazine
Sitting in the waiting room yesterday at the doctor's office, two women were uneasy and impatient. There was a long wait and their unrest was obvious. I was trying to stay __61__ (focus) on a magazine article that __62__ (true) interested me, but try __63__ hard as I could, their energy kept distracting me. I knew I should put my magazine down and care them, but I had been resisting (抵制) because I was so enjoying __64__ (me).
Anyway, to make a short story long, I put down my read, smiled at them, and engaged them in conversation, __65__ (try) to help the nervous woman feel calmer and change the focus of the other woman __66__ was a constant complainer.
I find it so difficult to be
around complainers. It so tested my __67__ (patient). At one point, I told the complainer “a watched pot never boils” when she __68__ (keep) checking on who was next to see __69__ doctor. The other woman smiled at me and said “thank you”. I __70__ (call) in first and as I was leaving the complainer, I saw her smiling and waving.
61．答案与解析：focused 此处指我想努力专注于看杂志。stay为系动词，后应接其形容词形式focused作表语。stay focused “持续专注”。
62．答案与解析：truly 修饰从句谓语动词interested应用其副词形式truly作状语。
63．答案与解析：as as＋形容词/副词＋as sb. can“某人尽可能……的”。这里是“as... as”结构，故填as。
64．答案与解析：myself enjoy的宾语和句子的主语I是同一个人，应用反身代词myself作宾语。
65．答案与解析：trying 空白前的and连接并列谓语动词put down, smiled和engaged。因此，此处try并不是谓语动词。主语I与try之间存在逻辑上的主动关系，故用其动词ing形式trying作状语，表示伴随。不定式作状语在句尾时，一般不用逗号与主句隔开。
66．答案与解析：who/that 定语从句先行词woman指人，关系词在定语从句中作主语，故应用关系代词who/that引导。
67．答案与解析：patience 前边有物主代词my修饰，且作tested的宾语，指“我的耐心”，故应用其名词形式patience。
68．答案与解析：kept 根据时间状语yesterday，结合上下文时态可知，全文叙述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，故填kept。
69．答案与解析：the 根据语境，此处doctor表示都知道的医生，故应用定冠词the修饰。
70．答案与解析：was called 主语I与call之间存在被动关系。结合上下文时态应用一般过去时，故填was called。
