2.Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved.That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she enterd our home in rural Virginia.My father(36)introducedme to her with these words:"I would like you to meet the fellow who is(37)distinguishedfor being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no (38)laterthan tomorrow morning."
My stepmother walked over to me,(39)raisedmy head slightly upward,and looked me right in the eye.Then she looked at my father and replied,"You are (40)impolite.This is not the worst boy at all,(41)butthe smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet(释放的途径)for his enthusiasm."
That statement began a(n) (42)friendshipbetween us.No one had ever called me smart,My family and neighbors had built me up in my(43)mindas a bad boy.My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things.She(44)persuadedmy father to go to a dental school,from which he graduated with honors.She moved our family into the county srat,where my father's career could be more(45)successfuland my brother and I could be better(46)educated.
When I turned fourteen,she bought me a secondhand(47)typewriterand told me that she believed that I could become a writer.I knew her ernthusiasm,I(48)appreciatedit had alreadly improved our lives.I accepted her(49)beliefand began to write for local newspapers.I was doing the same kind of(50)writingthat great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later.I wasn't the(51)onlybeneficiary (受益者).My father became the (52)wealthiestman in town.My brother and stepbrthers became a physician,a dentist,a lawyer,and a college president.
What power (53)enthusiasmhas!When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is(54)constantlystrengthened by faith,it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的)force which poverty and temporary defeat can never(55)match.
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

My dance class was doing a routine on wooden boxes two feet by two feet,facing the (42)audience.All I had to do in the next move was put one foot on the box next to mine and keep my other foot on my box.I really was an (43)easy move.I was concentrating so much(44)keeping the huge smile on my face and holding my head up that I did not look (45)where I was going.I missed my partner's box altogether and (46)slipped.There I was standing on the stage floor when my classmates were on top of their boxes.I could hear giggles(咯咯笑) coming from the audience,and I felt the (47)blood rush to my face.I remembered my dance teacher had told us,"If you make a mistake,keep smiling so the audience will not(48)notice."I did my best to follow her (49)advice as I continued with the routine.
