business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view (看) of some great paintings of excellent artists.
A young couple looking at the paintings in front of me were talking non-stop. I watched them a
moment and decided she was doing all the talking. In fact, I was surprised at this man for putting up
with her everlasting speech. Bored by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved through those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I
moved away at once.
I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit
(出口).
“He’s a brave man,” said the shop assistant. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded
at such a young age. But he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
It explained the non-stop talk! A sudden sense of shame came to my heart for what I was thinking
just now. “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked.
“His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
At that moment I realized what is patience, courage and love. I saw the patience of a young wife
describing paintings to a person who can’t see and courage of a husband who would not allow
blindness change his love towards art. And I felt the love shared by the two as I watched them walking
away holding each other’s hands.

What happened to that brilliant idea that you once had? Did you ignore (忽略) it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever considered what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (本能) or if you had paid more attention to it?
Imagine a scene, where you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light bulb is turned on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought catches your attention but seems so meaningless and you want to give it up, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential (潜在的) beginning of the success you have wanted so much. As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a realization, a solution, a conclusion, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has long escaped from you.
It is almost as if a great being has spoken the perfect solution quietly into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality by this means bringing light to your life. It is like finding the last piece of jigsaw puzzle. This becomes an AHA moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that little but powerful thought.
Your self-confidence and interest increase as you become aware of the great possibilities that can arise if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to write down any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. Seemingly meaningless little thoughts or ideas when acted upon have a potential to burst into great projects. Many successful projects have been born from the little positive thoughts that were carefully nurtured (培育) and recognized as tickets to great things.
You may have heard people say many times that it just came to me in a flash moment, a small idea or seemingly meaningless thought may cross your mind about something you have been planning to complete. Don’t waste an opportunity to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You don't have to wait for a major peer (同伴) for a major idea, a master strategy or agreement in order for you to act on that little thought. That little thought or idea is the beginning of great things if you decide to follow it.
57. In paragraph 3, “an AHA moment” refers to the moment that _____________.
A. you suddenly understand and find something
B. you get the agreement from your peers
C. a thought or an idea crosses your mind
D. a light bulb is turned on in the dark
58. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Can You Catch Your Chances?
B. Are You Ignoring that Little Thought?
C. Little Thoughts in Your Leisure Time
D. How to Make Use of the Little Thought
59. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Little thoughts help increase the interest for your job.
B. Think over the little thoughts for the later great invention.
C. Many successful projects have been born from your dreams.
D. Act on the little thoughts because they might lead to great things.
