One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 36 bill. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill ? ” Hands were 37. Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to crumple（弄皱）the 38. He then asked the audience, “ 39still wants it ?” Still the hands went40 in the air.
“ What 41I do this? ” He asked, and he42it on the ground, and started to step on it. He 43it up. Now the bill was44and crumpled. “ Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up.
“My friends,” He continued, “You have all45a good lesson . No matter 46I did to the money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its47. It was still worth $20. Many times in our 48, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes 49wrong decisions, or we may 50with something we do not 51.When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are 52. But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. The worth of our life comes not 53what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don’t forget ‘the worth of a thing does not depend on its outside 54, but on its inner value.’ This is the 55of life.

【小题1】A。可以根据前面2次出现了的bill做出判断。
【小题1】C。本句省去了Is there，将句子补充完整后易知答案。

【小题1】B。本题考常用搭配。Make wrong decisions,做出错误的决定。

【小题1】C。look看起来。一个东西的价值不依赖于它外在所看起来的。
