题目内容

A well-known speaker started his speech by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, “What is this piece of   1  and is it worth anything?”
Hands started going up. “It is a $20 bill, encashable(可兑现的) in international and national   2  .”replied one of the   3  who raised their hands.
The speaker continued, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He continued to crumple the 20 dollar bill using both his hands. He then               4  it and asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.
“Well,” he said, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the  5  and started to step on it. He picked up the crumpled and   6  bill and said, “Now, who still wants it?”  
 went back into the air. “I think this bill is still   8  its value”, said a young man in an unsure  9 . “We can still use the bill to   10  goods worth 20 dollars,” said the other people.
“My friends, you have all learned a very   11  lesson in this exercise that we are just through with. You’ve   12  that I can crumple the $20 bill during the process as the effects can be seen clearly.   13 , no matter what I did to the piece of paper, you were   14  in your mind that my actions did not actually decrease its   15 . It was still worth $20.”
“Many times in our lives, we feel like as if we are   16 , crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are   17 ; but no matter what happened or what will happen, please   18 , you will never lose your value.” Values that you keep in your heart will always   19  you from a difficult situation.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or not, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.” “You are   20 — don’t ever forget it.”

THE CHARM OF CHARITY
A poor young man lost his job and had no one to help him. Helpless, homeless and hopeless, he decided to commit suicide. He   36  all the coins he had with him and bought a ripe banana wrapped in an old newspaper. He opened the packet and started to eat his last food   37  an old beggar approached him. With trembling lips, the beggar told him that he hadn’t had anything to eat for several days and was too weak to walk. The young man felt   38 . So he didn’t eat the banana.   39 , he gave the banana to the beggar. The beggar ate it with great joy and   40__  him. While leaving, the beggar gave him a very old coin, saying, “Thank you very much. You gave me everything you had. Kindly accept this coin as my gift   41  your kindness.”
After the old man left, he   42  glanced at the piece of paper used to wrap the fruit. There he saw a(n)  43  from an agency dealing with old coins. Anyone   44  old coins was invited to visit the agency and receive suitable price for their old coins on the spot. Out of simple   45 , he carried the coin to the agency after   46  it by phone. He showed the coin gifted by the beggar. The person who   47  the agency stared at it and told him in excitement, “What a   __48  ! It is very   49  and several centuries old. It is worth a(n)  50  !” Jumping with joy on receiving the   51  amount of money, he searched everywhere to find the old man who gifted him the coin. He wanted to   52  his joy and the money with the beggar. But he could not find him anywhere. Since then, he started a new life with renewed   53  and enthusiasm about the future.
Kindness will be   54 . It always comes back! As William Wordsworth wrote,“ The best part of a good life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of   55  and love.”

One day, Mom was sewing a quilt(被子). I  43 sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a  44  here,” I said after a while. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very 45 voice.
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with   46  in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was   47  if I had hurt her. I was in great embarrassment and I was at a loss what to do. But at last she said, very   48  , “Susan, look at this   49 . Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting. If   50  is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there.   51  is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later.
One day, Dad accidentally got   52  while on duty. Ever since then he could no longer   53 properly. Every morning and dusk Mom would help Dad walk slowly on the country road. Along the country road, there were beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The leaves were gently glistening(发光)   54  the sun shining upon them. All of these made up the most beautiful   55  in the world.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Looking into his eyes, I  56 what they meant.

One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, it was a bird,   1 a sparrow.
“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping(重击声). “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She   2  and listened more devotedly. “It’s coming from the  3 .” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little kids.”
We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was  4 to make trouble. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children       5  . But there was that  6  again, coming from right up there.
And that’s when I  7  the sparrow. It was flying  8 just inches below the ceiling. It was  9 trying to get out, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down 10  the open door. So the bird continued  11  its wings and hitting its head against the  12 .
“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be  13  .”  
“Well, maybe it’s because of us,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide(滑翔) down to get outside, but that only seemed to  14   it more. “Why don’t we just 15 for a few minutes?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll    16 eventually.” So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing  17  .Then suddenly, it was silent. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was gone.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he’d succeed.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it 18  him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to  19 . Born to go upward, we don’t even consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping(拍打)around and just glide  20 a little bit.

A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the   26  , shouting angrily at each other. He___27    his disciples(弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in    28   at each other ?” The disciples   29    for a while and one of them said, “ Because we   30__   our calm, we shout.” “But, why should you shout    31   the other person is just next to you ? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a(n)   32   manner,” asked the wise man. Some disciples gave some other answers, but none   33   the other disciples. Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their   ___34   . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to  35   each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to __36    that great distance. What   37__    when two people fall in love ? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very  38   . The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small.”
The wise man  39    , “When they love each other even more, they do not   __40   , but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they   41 need not whisper. They only look at each other and that’s   42  . That’s how close people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his disciples and said, “So, when you   43  , do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more.   44   there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to  45  . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”

One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I   21  the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked   22  the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old,   23  freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short   24 . The boy had a big smile on his face   25  he had just been set free from some sort of   26 . The boy would then fall to the grass,   27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could again, still with a   28  on his face.   
Kids, when they fall down, don't view their falling down as failure, but   29 , they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they   30 . While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was   31  touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so   32  and so natural — no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only   33  was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a   34  — just being himself—being completely in the moment. He was not looking for   35  or was not worrying about whether   36  was watching. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him   37  and that it would be   38  if he did fall. No, all that   39  to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that   40  and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits(追求) in life.

I have this old clock that belonged to my mom. My dad gave it to me years ago after mom passed away.
I have mixed feelings about having the clock. I love it because it was my mom’s, but it also holds some bad memories.
You see, it chimes. It counts out the hour and rings once on the half hour. Or at least it used to. Now you never know what number it will ring.
When my mother was at home dying from cancer, she asked for the clock to be unplugged. Hearing the hours count down really angered and frightened her.
Mom passed away. I decided I wanted to get the clock fixed so I could remember the good hours we had with her.
I took it to a local clock shop the other day.
“I know this has no particular value as a clock, but it was my mom’s and I need to get it fixed,” I said to the shop owner.
I went on to describe the problem.
“We get a lot of these in,” he told me. “Here’s what I do. We remove the clock works (机件) and replace it with a battery-operated movement (机芯) that chimes electronically,” he told me.
“You can’t fix this?”
“No, we don’t have the time nor the parts.”
I thanked him and went home. I called a few other places and was told the same thing.
“How incredibly sad,” I told the last one disappointedly.
How incredibly sad that we have become a society that replaces craftsmanship with convenience and easy fixes. We copy the original instead of creating something new. We duplicate (复制); we don’t originate (发明).
Sadly, the same goes for our attitude to life itself.
Each of us is an original, one of a kind. But we find it so much easier to copy another style than to develop our own.
We are wannabes (崇拜别人的人) rather than hey-world-look-at-mes.
We fail to see the real value in who we are, so we spend our lives trying to be someone else.
小题1: Why did the author decide to get the clock fixed?
A.Because it was a really old and valuable clock.
B.Because it was the only thing that her mother had left her.
C.Because it brought her memories of being with her mother.
D.Because it left the author with mixed feelings.
小题2: What did the clock shop owners tell the author?
A.The parts that the clock needed were electronic.
B.It would cost a lot to repair the clock.
C.They had never repaired a clock like this before.
D.They could only make the clock electronic.
小题3: The author intends to ________.
A.criticize the irresponsible clock shop owners
B.criticize people who do not value things with a history
C.criticize people who do not have a creative attitude toward life
D.criticize people’s ignorance of traditional craftsmanship
How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter,rude boss, or an insensitive employee  1  your day?
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and we headed   2  the airport. We were driving in the  3  lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us.  My taxi driver slammed on his  4, slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and  5  the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started  6  at us.
My taxi driver just  7 and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was  8, so I said,"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck".
He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 9 full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage  10  up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on 11 .  Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be  12 .”
So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and  13  it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”
Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 14 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 15  in your life. See, Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University,found in his extensive research that you __16  bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you __17  them more frequently. So love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you _18  it!The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but when you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”,you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by  19 go of the bad.
Have a Garbage-Free Day!Have a marvelous, garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today  20  the harvest you reap tomorrow.

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.
People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success.If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job.If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员).After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve.Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.
