　　篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文，主要描述了作者对生活的感悟，即努力过好每一天，珍惜眼下的生活。

　　1．them　考查代词。介词of后接人称代词的宾格形式。they的宾格为them。

　　2．limited　考查词性转换。此处limited和specified是并列关系，一起修饰time，所以填limit的形容词形式limited。

　　3．but　考查连词。句意：有时长达一年，有时短到24小时，但是我们总是对发现垂死的人选择如何度过最后的时光或最后的几个小时感兴趣。根据语境可知，此处应用but表示转折。

　　4．discovering　考查非谓语动词。固定搭配be interested in后接名词或动名词作宾语。故填discovering。

　　5．what　考查宾语从句的连接词。动词wonder后的宾语从句中缺少动词do的宾语，所以用连接词what引导。

　　6．happiness　考查词性转换。感叹句中，what修饰名词，happy的名词形式为happiness。

　　7．as　考查固定搭配。句意：有时我想，把每天都当作生命的最后一天来度过也不失为一个很好的生命法则。as if是固定搭配，意为"似乎，好像"，符合语境。

　　8．sharply　考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词stress。故填sharply，意为"大幅度地"。

9．were　考查虚拟语气。句意：我常常想，如果每个人在他成年的早期有一段时间处于眼盲、耳聋的状态，那会是一种幸事。根据句意可知，本句为虚拟语气。根据主句中的谓语动词"would be"可知，if从句中的谓语动词应用一般过去时，be动词一律用were。
