“ Are you too stupid to do anything right？”These words—said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son—were spoken 21 he had walked away from her．They boy returned, his eyes down-cast.
Not a 22 moment, perhaps, 23 small moments sometimes last a very long time．And a few words—though they mean 24 at the time to the people who say them—can have great 25 .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff．For the last 24 years he has been a professional 26 ．Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly 27 ．He had few 28 and no self-confidence．One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment（作業）．The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird．Now they were to write their own chapter that would 29 the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 30 ．Today he can not recall anything 31
about the chapter he wrote, or what 32 Mrs．Branch gave him．What he does remember is the four words Mrs．Brach wrote in margin（空白處）of the paper：“This is 33 writing.”
Four words．They 34 his life.
“ 35 I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or 36 I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 37 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs．Brach to evaluate．She was 38 , tough and honest.“She was just what I
39 .”Dalkoff said.
His confidence 40 ．Dalkoff believes that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of his paper.

You must know the “ding dong ditch”. Person A rings Person B’s doorbell, and then quickly runs away or hides before Person B answers. Person B hurries to answer the door, only to find that no one’s there. After the 1 thing is repeated several times, this is called “ding dong ditch”.
Sharon Mardis, a single mother of four, told ABC News that she 2 a “ding dong ditch” when she 3 to her door at 1:00 am last night.
“My doorbell started ringing, 4 I came to the door,” Sharon told ABC News. “There was 5 at the door. I went back in the house. I got ten or twenty 6 and the doorbell started ringing again. I came back to the door, still nobody at the door.” She got 7 and stepped outside, shouting, “Who’s that? What on earth are you going to do?” There was just 8 .
But after Sharon returned to the house, she 9 something. Smoke! Sharon quickly 10 her kids and the family pets and ran out of the house. Only then did she 11 how bad the fire was. The 12 of the house fell down; the house was quickly 13 by flames. The smoke detectors(探測器) had never 14 : they were out of batteries. Good thing for the doorbell.
The 15 is who had rung it. 16 found that the flames has fused(熔化) the wires of the doorbell together, causing it to ring. But 17 , the fire had nothing to do with the doorbell wiring at all. It had started in the bathroom, well down the hall. From there, the flames didn’t spread to the nearby 18 , where the children and Sharon were sleeping. 19 , they surprisingly reached the doorbell first, making it ring repeatedly, and 20 Sharon to avoid danger.
Sharon believes it happened that way thanks to an angel.

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 36 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?” 37 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 38 . But I jumped up, ran up the 39 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, 40 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 41 security guards and take me from the stage? 42 my desire for bold （大膽的）action was louder than any 43 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the 44 to come to us. We must take 45 to create what we want!’’
After his talk, I 46 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 47 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy 48 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 49 . As I sat down at my computer to 50 my e-mails, I 51 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 52 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 53 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 54 way. So we don’t try. We 55 . 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?

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆遼寧省五校協作體高三第一次模擬考試英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (責怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (標準) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
【小題1】Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
| A．A friend in need is a friend indeed |
| B．How to make friendship last for ever |
| C．You are who your friends are |
| D．Friends are the most important in one’s success |
| A．they’ll push you ahead | B．they’ll influence you |
| C．they’ll cover your shortcomings | D．they’ll help you achieve your goal |
| A．the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor |
| B．people have poor taste in music |
| C．people have different attitudes towards the same thing |
| D．young people have greater chances of succeeding |
| A．improve a lot in making more friends |
| B．come to the right way of making friends |
| C．develop a better relationship with your friends |
| D．arrange the time with your friends properly |
