His question【37】me of something I’d read somewhere before: "Every morning when you get up, you have a【38】about how you want to approach life that day," I said. "I choose to be cheerful." Then I told them a story.

选项 A、choice
B、battle
C、discussion
D、lesson

答案A

解析 本题从语篇层面考查名词辨析。由下旬“I choose to be cheerful.”,可知上句是指一个人每天早上醒来,对想要的生活方式都有一个选择,而不是其他选项要表达的“战斗”、“讨论”、“教训”等含义,因此这个地方应填choice,所以选项A正确。
