高一英语-完型填空题练习(含答案)
During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be   1  him. I hated the place. I had never  2    been so unhappy.

The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed, were  5  with sand, sand, sand!

Two men looked out from prison bars,
One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.
I read those two lines  10  I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present   11  ; I would look for the stars.
