1.One night many years ago I was on the bridge of a ship passing one of our large cities on a quiet night.I saw its lights(41)Bin the sky and heard the city's noises.
I have spent twenty-five years on boats.Now I am a (42)C.My job is to bring in the large luxury(43)Aand stay with them until they are safely stopped in their ports.
I felt very (44)Dthe first time I ever docked a big liner.She came (45)Bup the harbor on a flood tide and towered high over the short little boat.As we drew alongside,a doorway opened (46)Cat water level and two smartly dressed sailors helped me aboard.
I was escorted to the bridge where I (47)Afrom the captain.I realized I was in (48)Dof a great ship worth millions of dollars.Having docked several of the large liners,I realized I was not important,(49)Bsimply the quarterback who called the signals.
In spite of (50)Dwe read in the newspapers,I have great faith in this country,praying that a peaceful understanding will come to this(51)Bworld,so that my children can grow up in a world full of happiness.I believe this will come (52)C.
I remember the understanding and(53)Bthat took over this country,back in 1949,when a little girl named Kathy Fiskus (54)Ainto an old well in California.Engineers and sandhogs and people in all walks of life worked almost three days,and when they got her out she was dead.
People sent in thousands of dollars in (55)Cfunds,but those who did the work and (56)Cthe equipment wouldn't take the money.They worked for bigger things.I talked to captains of foreign (57)Cthat came into New York Harbor,and they were just as (58)Das we Americans over the tragedy.
I believe some(59)Dwill be found to work together for world peace with the same sympathy and understanding that people worked to rescue little Kathy Fiskus.I believe God will (60)Abring this about.

19.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 entered our home in rural Virginia.My father (41)Dme to her with these words:"I would like you to meet the fellow who is (42)Afor being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no (43)B than tomorrow morning."
My stepmother walked over to me,(44)Cmy head slightly upward,and looked me right in the eye.Then she looked at my father and replied,"You are (45)C.This is not the worst boy at all,(46)Athe smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet(释放的途径)for his enthusiasm."
That statement began a(n) (47)Bbetween us.No one had ever called me smart,My family and neighbors had built me up in my(48)D as a bad boy.My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things.She (49)Bmy father to go to a dental school,from which he graduated with honors.She moved our family into the county seat,where my father's career could be more (50)Aand my brother and I could be better (51)C.
When I turned fourteen,she bought me a secondhand (52)Dand told me that she believed that I could become a writer.I knew her ernthusiasm,I (53)Dit had already improved our lives.I accepted her (54)Aand began to write for local newspapers.I was doing the same kind of 9(55)B that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later.I wasn't the (56)Cbeneficiary (受益者).My father became the (57)Bman in town.My brother and stepbrothers became a physician,a dentist,a lawyer,and a college president.
What power (58)Ahas!When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is (59)Dstrengthened by faith,it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的)force which poverty and temporary defeat can never (60)B.
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

18.It is dark now when I begin my early morning walk in the woods.And now that autumn has marched into winter,darkness persists well beyond my 6a.m.start time.
Paths have become familiar after years of hiking.But rocks and tree roots have magically appeared from previously (36)A ground.
Certainly I hit my toe against or (37)C on some unseen barriers.Fallen branches from last night's storm (38)D in wait.Layers of autumn leaves create a false floor through which my trusting footsteps (39)B.Sometimes a piece of moon donates some (40)B to the mystery path.But when skies are dark,there are no (41)C clues for where I step.
My very first night hike was during summer camp on a warm August night in the woods.Our leader (42)A bright flashlights so we would not scare away the night creatures we hoped to find.
"See with your (43)D,"the leader told us over and over again.
(44)B,that advice took effect.With (45)C and courage,it didn't take long before our feet became (46)D to the ground's textures(质地) and irregularities.Toes learned to (47)A for barriers before trusting full weight on feet.Holes and dips in the ground were detected in (48)C of possible fall…
But mistakes (49)B happen.My foot gets caught on a trip and I fall.Since the pace is (50)C,there is little damage except to pride.Once (51)B,I pause to feel the firmness of earth beneath me.
On my way home,as dawn (52)B day,I think about how similar night hikes are to journeys through life.
The same rules often (53)A for both:slow down,concentration,"see"with new senses-and don't be (54)C.Although the path is full of (55)D-hidden barriers,false surface,wet floor-the earth is solid and firm beneath.It is the nature of night ground.It is the nature of life.
