I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.
I was on the wrestling team. Now, if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least   31  .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot   32  it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no   33    because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes   34  to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We   35  had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy   36  the name of John.
John had never been   37  in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 38  he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day, we   39  a match with our biggest opponent(对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular   40  He rolled over, and his opponent  41  him halfway through his roll. He waspinned(压住) 42 !
The match was over.
I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to  43  John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” John said, “That’s so stupid. The 44  presented itself, and he just took advantage of it.”
We used to have this big   45  in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets   46 .”
John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not   47  and he knew it. But he waited for the  48   opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.
In other words, the real  49  is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to   50  it.

LOS ANGELES--- Two lost hikers who survived three nights in mountains thanks to supplies at a campsite of another hiker who disappeared last year described their suffering, saying they had “the real special thank” for the man who is probably dead.

The couple, Allen, 24, and Brandon Day, 28, were in Southern California for an important conference. They got lost on Saturday west of Palm Springs after wandering off a trail during what was supposed to be a day hike.

Prepared only for a brief hike, they wore light jackets and tennis shoes and had no food, spare clothing or mobile phone. With night closing in, they took shelter in a small cave and spent the night sleepless, freezing and hungry.

On Monday, they discovered a campsite in a dead valley. There was a sleeping mat, a backpack, a disposable razor(一次性剃刀), a spoon and tennis shoes. Day and Allen were delighted, thinking someone there could help them find the way out. But later they realized the place was deserted.

They found identification showing the camper was Donovan, 60, a retired social worker from Virginia. They learned later in his diary that he was an experienced hiker and he disappeared on May 2, 2005, in icy weather.

They found articles in his backpack: a warm sweater for Allen, dry socks for Day and matches. They lit a small signal fire to attract a helicopter crew in the distance, but the crew did not see them.

On Tuesday morning, Day created “a really big smoke signal” that finally attracted a helicopter crew. They were examined at a hospital and had only bruises(擦伤).

“We feel great. We’re thankful. We feel like we’ve been given a second chance,” said Day, who expressed that they wouldn’t give up hiking even after this experience.

1. The passage most probably appears in ________.

A. an advertisement             B. a newspaper    C. a travel guidebook         D. a travel journal

2. Why did Allen and Day go to Southern California?

 A. To go for a short hiking in mountains.    B. To search for the hiker missing a year ago.

 C. To attend an important conference.      D. To enjoy the scenery of Palm Springs.

3. Which of the things the couple found helped them the most?

A. Tennis shoes.      B. A sleeping mat.        C. a warm sweater.     D. Matches.

4. Which of the following statements is TURE?

A. The couple realized the campsite was deserted the moment they found it.

B. The couple at first thought the person in the camp could help them out.

C. It was the icy weather that led to Donovan’s disappearance and death.

D. This experience would prevent the couple hiking again in future.
