Strength in the face of problems

  Now it was time to perform, my heart was   4   rapidly.At my   5  , I began to speak smoothly and clearly, but then it happened:I stuttered(口吃).I knew I would, and I did.

  All things were a problem.

  From that moment on, I promised myself that my role in that play would be my first and my last.My speech problem   6   everything.

    7   a child, I struggled to say a full sentence, repeatedly hearing the   8   comments of my parents."Take a deep   9   and think about what you're going to say." I   10   to take speech therapy(治疗,疗法).I was too ashamed to   11   I had a problem.

  As my school career progressed my speech problem became less noticeable, but it never   12  .It held me back.

  After realizing that class officers had to speak in front of the entire student body, I   13   running in class elections.I feared reading aloud and meeting new people.

  Many times I would sit in my room and cry,   14   what it would be like to be normal, like everyone else.

  Finally, I came to my senses.I read articles about famous people who   15   their speech problems.

  I   16   I was letting it control my life, who I am and who I will become.l faced the   17   that I do have a problem that will always be with me.

解析:

(1)

dressed up, dress sb.up乔装打扮,装扮。根据句意应当是扮演华盛顿。

(2)

role角色,play the leading role扮演主角。character人物,性格。

(3)

line台词。

(4)

beat(使)规律作响,作节奏运动。该句意思是“现在轮到我表演了,我很紧张,心砰砰地跳着”。

(5)

turn.轮流,次序。此处意思是“轮到我了”。

(6)

affect vt.影响,作用这句话意思是“我口吃的问题影响了一切。”注意区别affect和effect。effect是名词,意思也是“影响,作用”,习惯搭配have an effect on sth./sb.对某人,某物产生影响,作用。

(7)

as当介词讲时,意思是“作为,当作”。

(8)

annoying adj.恼人的,讨厌的,父母多次纠正他的发音,当然感到讨厌。

(9)

固定短语take a deep breath“深呼吸”。

(10)

refuse vt.拒绝,谢绝。(后半句提到小作者耻于承认自己有口吃缺陷,所以拒绝接受治疗。

(11)

admit vt.承认,接纳。注意该动词用法:admit.doing sth.,admit that从句。

(12)

disappear vi.消失,不见。根据句意,口吃病有所减轻,但并没有消除。

(13)

根据句意应当是放弃计划。区别短语:give up放弃;give sb./sth.away泄漏,暴露;give out sth.发出,放出(光,热等);give in屈服,让步,投降。

(14)

根据下文应当是小作者想像自己如果是正常健康的话,应该是什么样子。

(15)

overcome vt.战胜,克服(困难等);overtake vt.(不愉快的事情)突然发生,突然降临。根据意思是“我读了许多名人的故事,了解他们是如何战胜口吃问题的。”

(16)

realize v.意识到,认识到;recognize v.辨认出,公认。本句意思是“我意识到自己把口吃问题看得过于重要了,以至于影响了自己生活的方方面面。”

(17)

face a fact“面对事实”,deed n.行为,行动;do some good/bad deeds做好事,做坏事。

(18)

gain v.获得,赢得;常见搭配:gain some experience/confidence/knowledge获得经验/自信/知识。

(19)

hold sb./sth.back阻挡,妨碍进展;hold sb.up抬起,举起,支撑。

(20)

perfect adj.完美的。本句意思是“最重要的是我懂得了,没有完美无缺的人,我并不是唯一一个不幸的”。

I like to give my praise to anyone whenever and wherever I can. I'll tell you why.
It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had been lost, and my feet  36  . The loaded plates I was carrying  37  to be heavier and heavier. Tired and  38  , I didn't seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream  39  a dozen times, I was ready to  40  . Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. "Well done," he said, "you've looked after us really well."   41  my tiredness disappeared.

And yet,   47  moat of us are only too ready to  48  to others the cold wind of criticism, we are  49  to give our fellows the warm  50  of praise. Why one word of praise can bring such pleasure?
It's  51  how chary(吝惜的) we are about praising. Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept it. It's especially  52  to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes  53 
or unmentioned. Do you, however,   54  tell your laundry(洗衣店) manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact, to give praise costs the giver  55  but a moment's though and a moment's effort.
