My Fellow Americans, I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症). Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would 36 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a 37 way. In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer 38 I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to 39 public awareness(意识). We were happy that 40 many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to 41 to normal, healthy lives. So now, we feel it is 42 to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater 43 of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are 44 by it. At the moment I feel just fine. I’d 45 to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have 46 done. I will continue to share 47 journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch 48 my friends and supporters. Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease 49 , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this 50 experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will 51 it with faith and courage. At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of 52 me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home, 53 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future. I now begin this 54 that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright 55 ahead. Thank you my friends. May God always bless you. Sincerely, Ronald Reagan 小题1: A．stay B．keep C．hold D．pretend 小题2: A．proper B．good C．public D．suitable 小题3: A．and B．but C．or D．so 小题4: A．raise B．make C．take D．turn 小题5: A．by the way B．on condition C．in a whole D．as a result 小题6: A．repeat B．cover C．return D．replace 小题7: A．impossible B．important C．pity D．obvious 小题8: A．care B．encouragement C．awareness D．decision 小题9: A．protected B．affected C．examined D．effected 小题10: A．intend B．want C．love D．continue 小题11: A．finally B．seldom C．always D．rarely 小题12: A．life’s B．one’s C．other’s D．today’s 小题13: A．for B．with C．by D．on 小题14: A．progresses B．cures C．removes D．recovers 小题15: A．meaningful B．useful C．careful D．painful 小题16: A．treat B．see C．face D．consider 小题17: A．having B．allowing C．showing D．declaring 小题18: A．whoever B．wherever C．whenever D．whatever 小题19: A．life B．road C．line D．journey 小题20: A．evening B．day C．night D．dawn
