Now when the old woman could see again she noticed that all her things had gone and she refused to pay the bill. So the doctor took her before a judge.

    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 （大胆的）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?

    I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters(学问). Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
    Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived “on the surface”.
    As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written in, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
    Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
    小题1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.
    A．after Mother died.B．before she became a writer.
    C．when she was a child.D．when Mother gave it to her.
    小题2:The passage shows that _____.
    A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter.
    B．Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done.
    C．Mother cared much about her daughter in words.
    D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.
    小题3:The word gulf in the paragraph 2 means ______.
    A．deep understanding between the old and the young.
    B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter.
    C．free talks between mother and daughter.
    D．part of the sea going far in land.
    小题4:What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
    A．She had never received the letter.
    B．For years, she often talked about the letter.
    C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
    D．She read the letter again and again till she died.
    小题5:What’s the best title of the passage?
    A．My Letter to Mother.B．Mother and Children.
    C．My Mother’s Desk.D．Talks between Mother and Me.

    I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be   36    Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d  37   ?" Just when I started to    38   that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women   39    at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of   40    that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t    41. Somebody had thought    42   of me to bring me a gift.
    Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my   43   Christmas there special and memorable, I   44   remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of   45   for as many children as I could possibly reach.
    So I    46   a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,  47   with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were   48 .  Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I    49   them that they couldn’t open their presents    50   every child had come forward. Finally the    51   they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles   52   up the room. The    53    in the room was obvious, and   54   wasn’’t just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I knew   55  that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

    The right to pursue happiness is issued to us all with our birth, but no one seems quite sure what it is.
    A holy man in India may think that happiness is in himself. It is in needing nothing from outside himself. If wanting nothing, he lacks nothing. We westerners, however, are taught that the more we have from outside ourselves, the happier we will be, and then we are made to want. We are even told it is our duty to want. Advertising, one of our major industries, exists not to satisfy these desires but to create them---and to create them faster than any man’s money in his pocket can satisfy them. Here, obviously someone is trying to buy the dream of happiness and spending millions upon millions every year in the attempt. Clearly the happiness-market is not running out of customers.
    I doubt the holy man’s idea of happiness, and I doubt the dreams of the happiness-market, too. Whatever happiness may be, I believe, it is neither in having nothing nor in having more, but in changing --- in changing the world and mankind into pure states.
    To change is to make efforts to deal with difficulties. As Yeats, a great Irish poet once put it, happiness we get for a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties.
    It is easy to understand. We even demand difficulty for the fun in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. And a game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The rules of the game are man-made difficulties. When the player ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the roles. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to cast away all the rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules.
    The same is true to happiness. The buyers and sellers at the happiness-market seem to have lost their sense of the pleasure of difficulty. Heaven knows what they are  playing, but it seems a dull game. And the Indian holy man seems dull to us, I suppose, because he seems to be refusing to play anything at all.
    The western weakness may be in the dreams that happiness can be bought while eastern weakness may be in the idea that there is such a thing as perfect happiness in man himself. Both of them forget a basic fact: no difficulty, no happiness.
