On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack   41  his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?”   42  shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would   43 . But I jumped up, ran up the   44  to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air,   45 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they   46  security guards and take me from the stage?    47  my desire for bold (大胆的)action was louder than any   48 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the   49  to come to us. We must take    50   to create what we want!’’
After his talk, I   51  to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails   52  my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy   53 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no   54 . As I sat down at my computer to 55  my e-mails, I  56  woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely   57  that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We   58  believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n)   59  way. So we don’t try. We  60 . But as Wayne Gretzky 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?

Then one day as Steven was driving home, he saw something that helped __49__ an idea, which became an action by the time he got home. He walked over to where Marry was playing.
“Come on, sweetheart,” he said. “You and Daddy are going for a __50__.”
They drove back along the way he had just traveled, finally __51__ just behind a mound (堆) of something.
“What is it, Daddy?” Marry asked as they got out of the __52__.
“Look __53__, but don’t touch it,” Steven said. “Can’t you tell what it is?”
She studied it for a few minutes, unsure of its __54__ until she picked out its familiar ears. “A rabbit! What happened?” Marry asked.
“It was playing in the road, and a car came along and ...”

“That’s right,” Steven said. “It got squished because it was playing in the road.”

The next evening, when Steven drove by a group of children playing in the street, he __57__ what Marry was shouting from the sidewalk.

So, if your message isn’t getting through to others, no matter how many times you __59__ it, you should try something __60__. This is Steven’s lesson.

In the era of high-tech today, face-to-face conversation is dying.
The New York Times published an article recently that shows great   36  for the “death of conversation”. It   37  that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more   38  than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.
Users get final connectivity   39  the price of   40  face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are   41  to a different way of being “alone together”.
Actually,   42  text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to   43  thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot   44  a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The give and take of   45  in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that   46  ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and   47  people.
Turkle mentioned the popular   48  of “I share, therefore I am.” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s an attitude   49  by most young people. They are   50  busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a   51  life. 
However, experts remind us that it’s   52  to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that   53  is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n)   54  to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other.   55  throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.

Graduation day is a major accomplishment for anyone in high school. After      your whole life in classrooms, though, what will be next? For some people, graduation is the        time they ever want to see a        again. For others, it is the next step in their education. And the few that are not       either way yet will most likely either go on to college or go into the military. There are always a few people in every        class that don't know what to do,        if you make a good choice, you will not be one of them.
Some of those people that decide that they never want to       a classroom again will most likely       some sort of simple jobs. Others will either find a way aside from school to better themselves,       through travel or giving back to the community.
High school graduates that already have their futures        0ut are pretty rare. They are the       who have been preparing for college from the first day that they         high school. They most likely applied early to the schools that they were interested       and have already dedicated themselves to the career        they want. Most of them will become doctors, lawyers, and business people, etc.
The last group of people is the biggest. It is the students who _     know that they want to do something but have no idea what. Some of them will _      the military and proudly serve our country. Others will go on t0       , take basic courses, and then decide what they want to major in. There will be some students even         to a technical school to learn a specific     that they can contribute to the workforce.        is a stepping stone that can lead you on to better things if you will let it.

Recently, an almost literal case of lifeboat ethics(伦理) occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.
It's a great story, but it doesn't strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also would have grabbed their Rosie first.
We have strange relationships with our pets. We lavish our pets with adoration and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies. As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the humane treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.
A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situation in which a bus is out of control, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?
Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But when people considered their own dog versus people less connected with them—a distant cousin or a hometown stranger—votes in favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist.
What does a finding like this mean? First, that your odds aren't so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented(史无前例的) attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of humane societies in the 19th century.
We prison people who abuse animals, put ourselves in harm's way in boats between whales and whalers and show sympathy to Bambi and his mother. We can extend empathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But let's not be too proud of ourselves. As this study and too much of our history show, we're pretty selective about how we extend our humaneness to other human beings.
【小题1】What is the function of the first paragraph?

A.To create a relaxing mood for readers.
B.To present the theme of this essay straightly.
C.To lead in the main topic of this essay.
D.To raise problems that will be solved later.
【小题2】The author mentions Nazi laws in the third paragraph _______________.
A.to show how cruel the Nazis were to the Jews
B.as an example to persuade people not to love pets
C.to illustrate the strange relationship between human and pets
D.as an example to display the humaneness of the Nazis
【小题3】Which of the following is true according to the article?
A.The story of the Anleys and their dog was too unique to be newsworthy.
B.Most people surveyed choose to save their own dog rather than a human.
C.It was in the 19th century that human beings started to love their pets.
D.Human beings are more and more concerned with animals nowadays.
【小题4】What does the author mainly argue for?
A.Pets are of great significance to us human beings.
B.We should rethink about our attitude towards animals and mankind.
C.It is kind of human beings to extend humaneness to animals.
D.We should be selective when showing attitude toward other human beings.
