科目：初中英語 來源：2017-2018學年（人教版）八年級下冊英語期末復習卷：units7-8 題型：回答問題

One of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before he fell ill he wasn't happy. Happiness was "having the cookie". Only if you had the cookie could things be good.

Unluckily, the cookie kept changing. Some of the time it was money, sometimes power, sometimes fancy things.

A year and a half after his diagnosis(診斷) of cancer, he sits in my office shaking his head. "It's like I stopped learning how to live after I was a kid. When I give my son a cookie, he is happy. If I take the cookie away or it breaks, he is unhappy. But he is 2 years old and I am 43. It has taken me this long to understand that the cookie will never make me happy for long," he says, "The minute you have the cookie, you start to worry about someone trying to take it away from you."

My patient laughs and says cancer has changed him. For the first time he is happy. No matter if his business is doing well or not, no matter if he wins or loses at golf. "Two years ago, cancer asked me, 'What is really important?' Well, life is important—life with the cookie, life without the cookie. Happiness doesn't have anything to do with the cookie; it has something to do with being alive," he pauses thoughtfully, "I guess life is the cookie."

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下列小題。每題不多于5個詞。

1.What was "the cookie" for the businessman before he fell ill?

______________

2.How does the patient's 2-year-old son feel when he gets a cookie?

_______________

3.What makes the patient change his mind to be happy?

______________

4.What question did the patient start to think about after he got cancer?

_______________

5.What does the patient think happiness is at present?

_______________

1.Money, power or fancy things. 2.Happy. / He feels happy. 3.Cancer. / Cancer has changed him. 4.What's really important? 5.Being alive. / To be alive. 【解析】本篇文章難度適中，主要介紹一位成功的商人，生病前認為幸福就...
