One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: “Yesterday the person who had been in your way to success passed away. We invite you to join the funeral (葬礼) in the gym.”

At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues (同事) had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.

The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: “Who is this person that was in my way? Well, at least he's no longer here!”

One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材). When they looked inside it they were speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul (灵魂).

There was a mirror inside the coffin: Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who can stop yourself from succeeding: it is YOU.”

You are the only person who can change your life. You are the only person who can influence(影响)your happiness and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

  He walked slower as he came to the block where he knew the building was. It was probably in the middle of the block. It was 7:30 and all the other stores were closed and covered with iron gratings. Yeah, that must be it, he mumbled to himself. He almost stopped as he pictured himself walking into the room. Everyone would be looking at him. What would he say?“Good evening. I'm Spencer.”No. Maybe he would ring the bell outside and have someone come to the door. They could walk in together and then he wouldn't be alone. He already knew what he would tell them when they asked him why he had come. He had thought a lot about the easiest thing for him to say.“I came to learn to improve myself.”That sounded good. They would know what that meant. He fingered the pencil in his jacket. He hadn't known what else to bring…

  The same sign was in the window of the storefront.“402 Main St. Adult Learning Center”.

  He took a deep breath and continued to walk slowly to the window. He looked inside as he passed…There was no one there. Was he too early? Would he be the only one to come? He walked to the corner and stopped. He knew he wasn't going home. He just needed a couple of more minutes to think about it. He turned round and walked faster now back to 402 Main St…. He turned the knob but the door wouldn't open.

A woman walked by.“Oh, they're closed today,”she said.“It's some kind of holiday or something. They're usually open every day though. Come back tomorrow.”He turned and looked at her, and then nodded.“Thank you,”he said.“Maybe I'll do that. I'll see how I feel tomorrow.”

1.The man's answer to the woman implies that ________.

[  ]

A.he will surely return tomorrow

B.he might not return tomorrow

C.he might be ill tomorrow
