9.I made a name for myself when I was about 26.
It never means anything (21)D to me,but of course I can't say I am free from vanity(虚荣).When a signing event was organized for my book at its (22)B sale or when I was invited to deliver a speech at a meeting,I would be (23)A and cheerful,especially if there were lots of participants.
(24)C,I have never been controlled by such (25)C,for I have my own idea of it.To me,a(n) (26)B remains popular only for three seconds.This morning somebody (27)A me on the way and said,"Ah,that's Zhu Deyong!"I was glad to be (28)B by a stranger and enjoyed myself,"(29)D,I am famous!"But such enjoyments (30)C only three seconds.He passed by and turned to the person walking with him,"What shall we have for lunch?"No (31)C of me any longer.Shall I (32)A my life cherishing those three seconds?Is it necessary to make efforts to (33)B such three-second enjoyments?No,I don't want to.
As life is (34)D and only comes around once,it is of great value to the person himself,but of no value to others.For most people,one's name remains (35)D only for three generations:one's (36)B generation,the second (your son may say"Ah,it's my dad.") and the third (your grandson may still (37)A,"Ah,it's my grandpa.") If a member of the fourth generation is asked about you,he might be (38)C,"Who is it?"If he is shown a picture of you,he might give it a glance,put it aside and (39)A forget it.It amounts to nothing more than a (40)D with an unknown name.

8.On a cold winter day,I waited in line to see my hero,Jack Canfield,the author of The Success Principles.During his talk,Jack (31)Ahis wallet,pulled out a hundred-dollar bill,and said,"Who wants this?"(32)Cshot up in the audience.People leaned forward to see whom Jack would (33)D.But I jumped up,ran to the (34)C,and caught the bill.As I turned and (35)Athe audience,thoughts raced through my mind----was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800people?Would they (36)Bsecurity guards and take me away from the stage?(37)Cmy desire for the money was louder than any (38)Bvoice.When I got the bill from his hand,he said,"That's it!We can't wait for the (39)Ato come to us.We must take action to (40)Dwhat we want!"
After his talk,1managed to formally meet Jack and bravely asked for his (41)Cemail address.Over the next months,I sent him emails (42)Dmy dreams to him.He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement.But I was (43)Bwith other things.I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later,my dreams were broken.I thought Jack would (44)Ame to take action,like a huge arrow that would show me the way.
I emailed him,and then again----but got no (45)C.As I sat down at my computer to check my emails,I (46)Bwoke up.What was I doing?I was waiting!Now I remembered the crowd (47)Athe money,but they just sat on their chairs (48)A.
Usually we all have a"Jack"for whom we wait----whether it's a person,a place or a thing.We (49)Cbelieve the gifts of life are just around the corner,and that everything will come in a(n) (50)Dway.So we don't try.We give up.But as Jack said:"You'll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don't take!"So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.Now what are you waiting for?

5.The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan,I knew I had to help her.She was really small for her age of 12.The boys in my class often (41)C at her and laughed their heads off.She would open a book,pretending to read,with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa.She had just been adopted by a family in town who (42)A that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids.I looked down at this (43)D girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her (44)B in with us?There had to be a (45)B.
One day,when I went into the classroom,I saw that Suzy had (46)A her geography book to a picture of a train,and in her notebook,she had made a(n) (47)C copy.I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming (48)D show.So,I took her to see the art teacher,Miss Parker,and showed her what Suzy had (49)D."Why,it's wonderful,"said Miss Parker,who then showed us a poster she had painted (50)C the talent show."I need more of these,but I just don't have enough (51)B.Could you help me,Suzy?"
On the day of the talent show,Suzy's (52)D were everywhere----all over the hall and all over the school,each one different."And finally,"said Mr.Brown,the schoolmaster,at the end of the show,"we have a (n)(53)A award.I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters."Everyone nodded."One of our own students (54)A them."
I could hear everyone whispering."Who in our school could draw (55)B well?"Mr.Brown waited a while before saying,"(56)D this student worked so hard on the posters,she deserves a (57)A,too.Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student----Suzy Khan!"Mr.Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set."Thank you,"she cried.I (58)B,at that time when I was looking at her excited face,she'd probably never (59)C anything in her whole life.Everyone started to (60)A their hands.Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening.I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
