完形填空

Pete Rose was a great baseball player. Though I have never met him,he taught me something24      that changed my life.

Pete was being25      in spring training the year he was about to break Ty Cobb's alltime hits record. Sud?denly one reporter asked him, "Pete,you only need 78hits to reach your nearest26       . How many atbats (击球) do you think it'll take you to get the 78 hits?" Without hesitation,Pete just27      at the reporter and said, "78. "The reporter yelled back, " Ah,come on. Pete,you don't think you'll get 78 hits in 78 atbats,do you?"

  Mr Rose calmly28      his philosophy (人生哲学) with the reporters who were 29        waiting for his reply to the claim. "Every time I30      up to the plate (本皇区) ,I31      to get a hit!32      I have it in mind,I have no right to step into the batter's box!It is33      expecta?tion that has enabled me to get all of the hits in the first place."

  When I thought about Pete Rose's 34       and how it applied to everyday 35      ,I felt a little embarrassed. As a business person,I was hoping to increase my36       . As a father,I was hoping to be a good dad. As a married man,I was hoping to be a good husband. The truth was that I was a fairly good salesperson,I was not so37      a father,and I was an okay husband. I immediately decided that being okay was not38      !I wanted to be a great salesperson,a great father and a great husband. I39       my attitude to a positive one,and the results were40       . I was fortunate enough to win a few sales trips,I won Coach of the Year in my41      baseball league,and I shared a loving relationship with my wife,Karen,with whom I am 42      to enjoy the rest of my life!
