阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 36 me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is 37 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 38 than tomorrow morning.”

My stepmother walked over to me, 39 my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “ You are 40 . This is not the worst boy at all, 41 the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet for his enthusiasm.”

That statement began a (n) 42 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 43 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

She changed many things. She 44 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the country seat, where my father’s career could be more 45 and my brothers and I could be better 46 .

When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 47 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 48 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her 49 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 50 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the 51 beneficiary(受益者). My father became the 52 man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

What power 53 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is 54 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 55 .

You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

36. A. rushed B. introduced C. sent D. carried

37. A. mistaken B. favored C. distinguished D. rewarded

38. A. later B. sooner C. longer D. earlier

39. A. dragged B. raised C. shook D. bent

40. A. perfect B. right C. impolite D. wrong

41. A. so B. but C. or D. and

42. A. agreement B. gap C. friendship D. relationship

43. A. opinion B. image C. mind D. expectation

44. A. persuaded B. begged C. ordered D. invited

45. A. meaningful B. successful C. helpful D. useful

46. A. treated B. entertained C. respected D. educated

47. A. camera B. radio C. typewriter D. bicycle

48. A. considered B. appreciated C. ignored D. suspected

A

Bad behavior is something that most people don’t want to tolerate. However, we have had to tolerate it more and more with each passing year.

We live in an age where saying what is on our minds has priority over any harm that it might do.

There are ways to deal with bad behavior in modern times, though. Too many of us let bad behavior go because we don’t want to rock the boat. This is the time that you should rock the boat and rock it hard. Let people know that you expect it to change. That is the key to dealing with bad behavior. If it continues, take the proper action for the situation you are in. If you have developed the habit of bad behavior, take a hard look at it and then change it.
