题目内容

  I shook hands with my father in the truck,and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word.But I knew he was going to say a little to me.“I can’t tell anything,” he finally said.“I never went to college,and none of your brothers went to college.I can’t say don’t do this and do that,because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up.I can’t help much with money either,but I think things will work out.”

  He gave me a new check?book.“If things get pushing,write a small check.But when you write one,send me a letter and let me know how much.There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars.My part?time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.

  “You know what you want to be,and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on.“When you get a job,be sure it’s honest,and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town,and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.

  Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old,broken Bible that he had read so often,the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours.I knew he would miss it.I knew,though,that I must take it.

  He didn’t say read this every morning.He just said,“This can help you if you will let it.”

  Did it help? I got through college without being a burden on the family.I have been able to make money since.

  I was always complaining about wind or rain and I thought I was fully reasonable.Though it was nothing unusual for the   1   of wind or rain, it caused inconvenience for me to go out, sometimes it   2   created an awful atmosphere, so I blamed it   3  .

  On a rainy day a meteorologist(气象学者)I met was very   4   at my great upset caused by   5   that made a little inconvenience for me.

  "Have you ever   6   typhoon?"

  I shook my head.

  "Everybody blames it   7   the destruction(破坏)it brings to mankind.But I'd ask:Do you know what would   8   to the world if there were no typhoon?"

  I shook my head again.

  The meteorologist told me, "Without it the   9   of fresh water will be worsened, for it is a great source of water supply on earth.There would be a greater imbalance in the distribution of   10   if there were no typhoon.The equatorial(赤道的)area that receives the most sunshine on earth entirely   11   typhoon to spread heat.Without typhoon the tropics would be even   12   while the cold zones much colder.  13  , the temperate(温带)zones would disappear from the world…"

    14   made me shortsighted.I disliked wind only because it messed my hair.I   15   rain merely because I had to carry a(an)  16  .But I had no idea at all   17   typhoon, something much more violent, something a thousand times more disturbing than wind or rain, was a must to the   18   of mankind.

  Hard as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is   19   that a man stop to think for a moment before he complains, "  20   typhoon disappeared all together?" The answer will lead him closer to truth-he will be better aware of the world he lives in.

  “Now ,”Mrs.Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.”

  The class seems to be greatly surprised.Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be   1  .“Yes, you will all be searching for your future   2  .Each of you will have to   3   someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”

  Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this.Finally, I picked print journalism.This   4   I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter.I was extremely nervous.I sat down in front of him   5   able to speak.He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?”

  I shook my head.

  “How about some   6  ?

  I shook my head again.

  Finally, I thought he realized I was   7  , and I got my first big tip as a   8  :“Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper.You never know what you’ll run into.”After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from   9   in class.I got an A on the entire project.

  For the past 12 years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career,   15   stories from murders to airplane crashes and   16   choosing my strongest area.  17   I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been   18   Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.
