（2011·天津卷）D

Blind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth. Imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strenghth. Imitation is unacceptable.

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sundden desire to create somrthing unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done brfore them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces  is  not running out of material;it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.

Syudy your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not server.Then you can say,”I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors”tragedies and  tory ,and know that they are cheering on.

　　Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing well those you hold．

　　Marriage is like vitamins: we supplement each other's minimum daily requirements．

　　Love me little, love me long．

　　After you read the three proverbs above, you can imagine what the following passage is about．

　　To a watching world, Mike and Mary Murray were a perfect couple．They had been high school sweethearts, and 　1　 to have a happy marriage．Mike had a good job, and Mary was able to 　2　 at home with their children．They owned their home and 　3　 kids, two cars, and a family dog．　4　 to Mike, after seven years of marriage, something was terribly wrong．The Murrays had 　5　 their material goals and Mike 　6　 , now what? He began to look to his job for fulfillment and often 　7　 60 hours a week．Mary poured herself into the children．It was so 　8　 for her to turn her focus from Mike to 6-month-old Eric and 2-year-old Brittany．

　　And now the marriage seemed 　9　 ．Their lives were traveling in two different directions．They no longer really communicated yes, they answered 　10　 questions, but they didn't talk 　11　 as they had in the early years of their marriage．Mike felt trapped．I 　12　 had time to do things that I wanted to, he says．Mike did not share his feelings with Mary．Instead, he followed the slippery path of many others he became involved with (与……纠缠不清) a woman at work, who was 　13　 her husband．It began as a simple friendship．I was able to listen and she was able to listen, Mike recalls．

　　Mary 　14　 the battle in Mike's soul．He wasn't home as much, and we weren't talking as much, she says．I was wrapped up in the kids and I just couldn't imagine anything ever 　15　．The situation became worse when the Murrays attended a wedding and began to argue．Mary asked Mike if he was seeing 　16　 and he said, Yes．It's just an emotional (情感的) thing．Mike can still remember the 　17　 of hurt and total surprise on Mary's face．She was troubled, and he knew that he had turned against (背叛) his best friend 　18　 high school．The expression on her face jarred (刺激) him into 　19　 , and he began to understand the 　20　 he was doing to his family．
