重庆市垫江一中高三英语周考复习测试卷5

B
I’m thankful for cancer in many ways. Does that sound crazy? I wouldn’t wish it on anybody and I don’t want to go through it again, but it was a teacher. It helped me to treasure every single day. It forced me to prioritize（确定优先顺序）my life. Things that were once important seemed foolish. It pushed me off the rolling wheel this society calls sacred and let me pursue the desires of my heart, instead of my wallet. It gave me the ability to see life as fragile, not one day promised．It allowed me to treasure my three beautiful children, who sometimes brought heartache along with joy as they grew up, who are all now in college and can now spell beautifully.
When I hit my 5th year of survival, I left my job to write full time. I decided not to write one more word about anything that didn’t matter to me. It was a step of faith, but it made perfect sense. Cancer taught me not to let the opportunities of your heart pass you by because we are not promised “one day” or “someday”.
On my 40th birthday, I rode gocarts with 30 of my closest friends to celebrate. The numbers 4-0 hanging across the wall were a beautiful sight.
I celebrated my 10th year of survival on a boat in the Amazon in the rainforest of Brazil. I sat on the top level and watched the sun rise and form somewhere so deep inside, I thanked God for the opportunity to experience life through facing death.
You see, life is become a series of celebrations. Last month, I celebrated my 13th year of survival and embraced（迎接） my 44th birthday. Next month, Richard and I will celebrate our 24th anniversary. Leslie, my oldest, turned 21 last year. My twins are 20.
