Module 1 Small Talk Ⅰ.完形填空(建议用时17′) [2016·江津中学阶段测试]25 years ago I got married; little did I know I would commit to lifelong household renovations (整修)! My wife likes 1 ， so for her, renovations are just part of life.

If we “measure twice”， we will begin to gain confidence and 16 forward with a positive attitude because we know we 17 have to “cut once”． Next time you face a new project, try double 18 your work; you will make sure you understand the things that can go 19 and focus on the things you can do right. Your project will run 20 and you will be less stressed while doing it. 作者从自己铺地板的经历中得出这样一个道理：做任何事情都要提前准备好，这样可以事半功倍。 1．A.art B．beauty C．change D．peace 答案：C 由空后的“renovations are just part of life”可知，妻子喜欢生活中的变化(change)。 2．A.stopping B．looking C．walking D．working 答案：D　根据下文中的“it becomes a project that we wo
