　　It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the least important positions．　　1　　 of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility placed upon them at the very 　　2　　 of their career．They were 　　3　　 to the broom(扫帚), spending the first hours of their business lives 　　4　　 the office．

　　And here is the basic 　　5　　 of success, the great secret：　　6　　 your energy, thought, and capital(资本)wholly on the business in which you are 　　7　　．Having begun in one line, determine to fight it out on that 　　8　　, to lead in it, adopt every 　　9　　, have the best machinery, and know the most about it．

　　The companies which fail are those which have 　　10　　 their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains 　　11　　．They have investments in this, or that, or 　　12　　, here, there, and everywhere．“Don't put all your eggs in one basket” is all 　　13　　 , I tell you．“Put all your eggs in one basket, and then 　　14　　 that basket”．Look round you and take 　　15　　; men who do that do not often fail．It is easy to watch and carry the one basket．It is trying to carry too many baskets 　　16　　 breaks most eggs in this country．He who 　　17　　 three baskets must put one on his 　　18　　, which is likely to fall down．One 　　19　　 of the American businessman is lack of concentration．

　　Remember：put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket．　　20　　 Emerson says, "no one can cheat you out of final success but yourselves．"

解析：

(1)	结合上下文的语境应该是“匹兹堡有许多大企业家在创业之初都肩负过重任”。
(2)	文章开头说年轻人应该从头做起，因此本题选A，at the beginning of“在……之初”。
(3)	他们起初被安排去做卫生。
(4)	与前面的broom呼应，这里表示他们被安排去做卫生，上班的几个小时就打扫办公室。
(5)	从下文的叙述判断选B，用condition表示“条件”：获得成功的首要条件和最大秘诀。
(6)	从后面的介词搭配判断选A，用concentrate…on表示“专心致志于”，其它动词选项的搭配为：devote…to, apply…to, bury…in。
(7)	本题用be engaged in表示“忙于做某事”，相当于be occupied in doing/with sth．
(8)	从语境判断本题选D与前面的Having begun in one line呼应。
(9)	语境表示采纳各种进步与改进。本长句的含义：把精力和财力完全集中于所干的事业上。一旦开始干那一行，就要决心干出个名堂，要出类拔萃，要点点滴滴地改进，要采用最好的机器，要尽力通晓这一行。
(10)	与下文的scattered呼应，本题选D：失败的企业是那些分散了资力，因而意味着分散了精力的企业。
(11)	本题用also用于肯定句，修饰动词或整个句子内容，而either用于否定句的末尾，neither本身表示了否定，多用于句首，yet多用在完成时态的否定句的句末或放在句子的中间表示“然而”。
(12)	与前面的this or that呼应，这里用the other(one)。
(13)	从下文的叙述可知作者在批驳这句话，因此选C。
(14)	从下文的“It is easy to watch and carry the one basket．”可知本题选D。
(15)	这里用take notice表示“注意”：注视周围并留意看看，能这样做的人往往不会失败。
(16)	本题是强调句结构：正是要拿的篮子太多才会使你的鸡蛋被打破。
(17)	前面的carry已经暗示本题的答案。
(18)	有三只篮子的人，两手各拿一个，另外一只就只能顶在头上，而这只篮子就很容易被摔倒。
(19)	美国企业家的一个错误就是缺少集中。
(20)	这里用as引导定语从句，as在从句中作宾语，指代主句的内容。整个句子的意思为：正如爱默生所说：“除了你自己以外，没有人能哄骗你离开最后的成功。”

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺负）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

Finally, I felt my 31 at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what 32 me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house 33 did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and 34 asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, 35 I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely 36 from my mind, reached through the bars (护栏). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched 37 . And that was all I needed.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health，or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer 34 ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start， 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result．

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your 39 ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be 39 up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind．Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 43 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．

In fact that is what 44 is like；we are often 45 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both 46 like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is 47 to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this 48 a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s 49 ：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不经意的） 50 may not be a bad one．
