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 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?” 32 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 33 . But I jumped up, ran up the 34 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts 35 through my mind — was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 36 security guards and take me from the stage? 37 my desire for brave action was louder than any 38 voice.

As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the 39 to come to us. We must take action to 40 what we want!”

After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and bravely asked for his 41 email address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 42 my vision and dreams with him. He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got 43 with 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 44 that would show me the way.

I emailed him, and then again — but got no 45 . As I sat down at my computer to check my emails, I 46 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 47 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat 48 to their chairs.

Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We 49 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 50 way. So we don’t try. We give up. 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?

31．A. picked out B. handed in C. stuck to D. reached for

33．A. offer B. choose C. like D. greet

A

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?

This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.

I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.

Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling (盘旋) black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

51. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _______.

A. reading a message B. having a debate

C. doing shopping D. leaving for Wyoming

The author’s inspiration for the gift came from _______.

A. a call from the mother B. a story about a kid

C. a photo of a flower D. a text about Christmas

The underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to a poem by ______.

A. the father B. Edgar Allan Poe

C. William Blake D. the author

What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To show how to design images for gifts.

B. To describe the gifts the author has received.

C. To explain how computers help create gifts.

D. To suggest making gifts from one’s heart.

B

The story begins with fishing.

Once a boy and his father went fishing before bass (a kind of special fish) season opened. They were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass(the special fish).

The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the bass season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.

Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into t
