The Man Who Achieved Everything He Could
Once upon a time, there lived a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire --- he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: to die, having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish.
There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, 36  he set his mind to it.
He knew that his  37  had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate  38  that would dwarf (使相形见绌) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could  39  books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could  40  things that would forever change the lives of millions of people. He lived, constantly feeling the power within --- and that power knew no bounds.
There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one  41, he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to  42  all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any  43  meant cutting off some future achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and  44  children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide  45  he should bring his potential into full play.
Time went by, and he grew  46. Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him. But there was still so much he could accomplish.
One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling  47, he looked in the mirror. A worn-out, gray-haired man stared back at him. He looked  48  into these eyes and, all of a sudden, 49  one simple truth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped  50  forever.
The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以为是,自鸣得意) by thinking that they could have  51  this or that if not for such-and-such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but  52  . You simply lack something that is  53 for achieving that goal you’ve never reached — a talent, a skill, willpower, 54 something else. In fact, 55  you don’t achieve is something you’re not capable of achieving.

When Nancy Lubin got $5,000 from her great-grandfather, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans with it.  36 , the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about the clothing  37  faced by the typical low-income woman:“If she goes for a job interview  38  dressed, she won’t get the job.” Lubin says,“But without a job, she can’t  39  good clothing.”

A very little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. He had with him a plastic pail (桶) and a shiny, red plastic shovel (铲). In the   36  of creating roads and tunnels in the sand, he   37  a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.
The boy dug around the rock,   38  to move it off the dirt. At first, he wanted to carry it out of the sandbox with his hands; however, it was too heavy. Later, with much   39 , he pushed the rock across the sandbox by   40  his hands. When the boy got the rock to the   41  of the sandbox, he found that he couldn’t roll it up and   42  the little wall.   43 , the little boy pushed, but every time he thought he had made some   44 , the rock tipped (翻滚) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy pushed and pushed, but his only   45  was to have the rock roll back.
Finally he   46  tears. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window   47  the drama was unfolded. The moment the tears fell, a large   48  appeared across the sandbox. It was the boy’s father. Gently but   49 , he said, “Son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had?”
Defeated, the boy   50  back, “I did! I did! I used all the strength that I had!”
“No, you didn’t. You didn’t ask me for help.” The father   51  down, picked up the rock and dropped it off the sandbox.

After winning a big game,athletes are often asked how they feel.Usually athletes say how  21  it is to win this big game.On the contrary,the fact is that losing a big game,or in my case,all the games,can be even harder.

In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s  eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930S, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
41. Who made Donald Duck film? ______
A. Mickey Mouse.                 B. Clarence Nash.
C. Walt Disney.                   D. Pluto.
42. When was the first Donald Duck film made? ______
A. In 1933.         B. In 1934.        C. In 1966.        D. In 1930.
43. Who was Clarence Nash? ______
A. A cartoonist.                    B. Donald Duck’s voice.
C. A film-maker.                    D. A film star.
44. Where do today’s children see Donald Duck ? ______
A. In new film.                  B. At the cinema.
C. On television.                D. At concerts.
45. The underlined word “audience” in the second paragraph means______ .
A. reads            B. formal interview

One girl decided to study judo(柔道)although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.
The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.
“Instructor,” the girl finally said, “Shuldn’t I be learning more moves?”
“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.
Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.
Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.
This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened(干预).
“No,” the instructor insisted, “Let her continue.”
Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake; she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.
One the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind.
“Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”
“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your Left arm.”
The girl’s biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.
小题1:What can we learn about the girl?
A.She was disabled in an accident.B.She disliked judo training.
C.She learnt several moves.D.She won the first two matches hard.
小题2:The underlined word “overmatched” probably means         .
A.impatientB.depressedC.defeatedD.trapped
小题3:The girl won the championship because of          .
A.her braveryB.her skillsC.her tricksD.her strength
小题4:Which of the following is probably the best title of the story?
A.The Story of a Girl.B.A Disabled Girl.
C.Defense Matters.D.Weakness Becomes Strengh.
