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  21  me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is  22  for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no  23  than tomorrow morning.”

My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly  24  , and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and  25  , “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all,  26  the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm.”

That statement began a(n)   27  between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my  28  as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

She changed many things. She   29   my 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  30  and my brothers and I could be better educated.

When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand  31  and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I  32  it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her  33  and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of  34  that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the  35  beneficiary (受益者). My father became the  36  man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

   What power  37  has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is  38  strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never  39  .

   You can communicate that power to  40  who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

请阅读下列应用文及其相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

下面是几条与节日有关的报道，首先请阅读这些报道的标题和插图：

（注意：如果选择E，则在答题卡上同时填涂A和B选项；如果选择F，则在答题卡上同时填涂C和D选项。）

以下是这些报道的简要内容介绍，请配对它们的标题。

1.Where did this most popular day for couples come from? And how does it come into beings, year after year? Noel Lenski, professor of the University of Colorado, said the lovers’ holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals held every year on February 15 and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century A.D.

2.The first Earth Day in 1970 was a raucous, radical teach-in that helped spur clean-air, clean-water, and endangered species legislation in the United States. Now, 40 years later, Earth Day is every day, as the saying goes. The thing is, it’s also everyday- environmentalism that has become a routine with greenness as much a marketing tactic as a moral pursuit.

3.Some 242 million turkeys were raised in the U.S. in 2010 for slaughter, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Last year’s birds were worth about U.S. $3.6 billion. Before the big dinner, debunk the myths, we need to know that the first “real” U.S. Thanksgiving wasn’t until the 1800s and get to the roots of Thanksgiving 2010.

4.Father’s Day traditionally takes a backseat to Mother’s Day, and, for the most part, dads are cool with that, experts say. Nevertheless, as traditional roles around the house gradually change, fathers are gaining more attention on their special day, at least as measured in the monetary value of gifts estimated to be given on June 19, 2011, when the holiday will be celebrated in dozens of countries.

5.Cookouts, fireworks, and, of course, a chance to wish Uncle Sam a big “happy birthday” —the day means summer in full swing across the United States and beyond. Besides the founders of the US, Fireworks, first authorized by Congress in 1777, are another legacy. More than 14,000 fireworks displays light up U.S. skies each year.

It’s the clowns’ clothes, make-up and the way ______they walk ______ make people laugh.

A. where, that      B.不填, that    C.in which, where     D.that, in which
