Passage 9
(黑龙江省哈三中2009届高三三模)
One day, a young man was cleaning out his late grandfather’s belongings
when he 36 a bright red envelope. Written
on the 37 were the words, “To my grandson. ” 38 it was his grandfather’s handwriting,
the boy opened the envelope. A letter inside read;
Dear Ronny,
Years ago you 39 to me for help. You said, “Grandpa,
how is it that you’ve 40 so much in your life? You’re still
full of 41 ,but I’m already 42
of struggling. How can I get that same enthusiasm that you’ve got?”
I didn’t know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are numbered, I
figure that I 43 you an answer. So here is what I
believe.
I think it has something to 44 with how a person looks at things. I
call it “keeping your eyes wide open”.
First, realize that is filled with surprises, but many are good ones. If
you don’ keep 45 for them, you’ll miss half the
excitement. Expect to be excited
46 ,and you will be.
When you meet with 47 ,welcome them. They’ll leave you
wiser, stronger, and more capable than you were the day before. When you make a
mistake, be 48 for the things it taught you. Learn
to use that lesson to help you reach your goals.
It’s also important to 49 exactly what you want . Then keep
your mind focused on it , and be prepared to receive it.
As you grow with the years, you’ll be given bigger shoes to fill. So be
ready for endings as well as challenging 50
.
Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the
unfamiliar. Life isn’t just reaching peaks. Part of it is moving from one 51
to the next. If you
52 too long in between,
you might be tempted(诱惑)to 53 . Leave the past in the past. Climb
the next mountain and enjoy the view.
Most important of all, never give up on yourself. The person that ends up a
winner is the one who resolves(决心，决定)to 54 . Give life everything you’ve got,
and life will give its best
55 to you.
Love always,
Grandpa
