解析：

(1)

選A�？疾槊~。根據(jù)后文語境的暗示可知，本文主要談論的是生活幸福的問題。

(2)

考查形容詞。從本段前文If you had the cookie, things were good．的對比可知，此處是表達與good相反的意思，因此選C。

(3)

考查動詞。根據(jù)后文所說，一會兒是金錢，一會兒是權(quán)力，可見這個cookie是變化的。

(4)

考查短語理解。從前文的some, sometimes可知，作者在對事情的表現(xiàn)形式進行列舉，因此此處用other。

(5)

考查動詞。說話時有regretfully的表情，顯然是伴隨不滿意的動作，shaking符合語境要求。

(6)

考查動詞。本文談論的是生活的問題，不難想到live。

(7)

考查動詞。小餅被拿走了或弄壞了，兒子就會不高興。

(8)

考查名詞。小孩年紀小，能夠有小餅吃就滿意了，大人卻因為要求高，對一個餅是不會滿意的。

(9)

考查名詞�？疾閷γ~引導的時間狀語從句的理解，the minute“一……就”。

(10)

考查動詞。根據(jù)語境，此處表達的是一種擔憂。

(11)

考查動詞短語辨析。一但自己擁有的東西有被人拿走的危險，就會放棄許多其他的事情來保護自己的cookie。

(12)

考查形容詞。確保沒人能夠拿走自己的cookie。

(13)

考查從屬連詞。此處表示原因，故選B。

(14)

考查動名詞運用。根據(jù)前文語境，不難想到用having。

(15)

考查名詞。這個病人患了癌癥，正是因為得了癌癥，所以他改變了對生活的看法。

(16)

考查形容詞。改變了對生活的看法后，他的心情就快樂了。

(17)

考查名詞。因為他是商人，所以經(jīng)營的應該是business。

(18)

考查動詞。根據(jù)后文的句式是一個問句，故用ask。

(19)

考查動詞。從后文中的do with可知答案。

(20)

考查形容詞�；钪褪亲钪匾模钪褪侨松畲蟮男腋�。這是整篇短文的落腳點。
