It was not until in my later thirties ①__________I made this important discovery: giving away things ②__________(make) life so much more exciting.

One Sunday morning the local post office delivered a letter to my home, though it ⑤__________(address) to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of ⑥__________(appreciate). More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes ⑦__________(leave), and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the pos tmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us a letter a year ago about ⑧__________(deliver) a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you are ⑨__________(certain) going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know ⑩__________a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.答案：that; makes; impossible; an; was addressed; appreciation; left; delivering; certainly; what 解析：付出总会有回报,有时候这种回报会以一种让人意想不到的形式出现,作者的经历就印证了这一点。
1. that考査强调句。
直到我30大几岁时我才有了这个重大发现。
分析句子结构可知冒号前使用的是强调句式,被强调部分是not until in my late thirties,所以设空处要用that:2. makes考査动同时态和主谓一致.给予让生活更加令人激动。
设空处是冒号后部分的谓语动词,因为描述的是客观事实,所以谓语动词要用一般现在时;主语是v.-ing形式,所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。
3.impossible考査形容词。
在这个世界上付出得不到回报几乎是不可能的。
设空处要用形容词充当表语,根据语境可知此处要用形容词impossible.4. an考査冠词。
尽管回报经常以一种让人意想不到的方式到来:不定冠词表示泛指;unexpected以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an.5. was addressed考査动词时态和语态及主谓一致。
though引导的是让步状语从句.根据delivered可知时态为一般过去时;设空处是从句的谓语动词,从句的主语是it,谓语应用第三人称单数形式.address与从句的主语是被动关系,所以答案为was addressed。
6.appreciation考査词性转换。
我给邮政局的局长写了一封感谢信。
根据语境和设空处前的介词of可知此处要用名词。
appreciation n.感激;感谢。
7.left考査非谓语动词。
在服务窗口我被告知没有剩下的箱子了。
设空处是非谓语动词作定语,与其所修饰的名词boxes之间是被动关系, 所以要用过去分词形式。
8.delivering考査非谓语动词。
设空处充当介词about的宾语,所以要用v.-ing形式。
9. Certainly考査副词。
设空处要用副词修饰谓语动词。
10. what考査宾语从句。
句意:你不知道一封那样的信对我们来说意味着什么。
设空处引导宾语从句,引导词在从句中充当means的宾语,所以要用what。
