    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?

    Butterfly’s wings
    One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon（茧）, a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it was struggling to __36__ its body through that little hole.

The man continued to __42__ the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the __43__ would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would __44__ the time span(跨度). Neither happened! __45__, the butterfly spent the rest of its life  __46__ around with a swollen body and small, shriveled（褶皱的）wings. It __47__ was able to fly. What the man did in his __48__ and haste（匆忙）did no good to the butterfly.

    Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
    One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
    In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
    The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
    The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
    小题1:What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
    A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.
    B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
    C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
    D．Stories for children are easy to remember.
    小题2:The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.
    A．presenting research findings
    B．setting down general rules
    C．making a comparison
    D．using examples
    小题3:According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.
    A．a result of overlearning
    B．a special case of cramming
    C．a skill to deal with math problems
    D．a basic step towards advanced studies
    小题4:What is the author's opinion on cramming?
    A．It leads to failure in college exams.
    B．It's helpful only in a limited way.
    C．It's possible to result in poor memory.
    D．It increases students' learning interest.

    After my brother died in an accident, my mother was in deep sadness. I was only a four-year-old girl at the time, but I still understood the sudden shift in my mom’s attitude towards safety. Suddenly everything around us was potentially dangerous. Overnight, the world had gone from a playground to a dangerous zone. I grew up with a lot of limits and rules. I couldn’t walk home from school by myself, even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t go to summer camp because what if something happened to me?
    As I got older, the list of things of fear got longer. My whole life was divided into “things you should avoid”, and “things you needed to do in order to have a good, long life.” I became a natural worrier. I worry about things like getting cancer, losing my wallet, car accidents, earthquakes, and losing my job — disasters big and small, real and imagined.
    The funny part is that you’d never know it by looking at my life. In fact, I’ve developed a rule for myself: If it scares me, then I have to do it at least once. I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle; I’ve traveled —a lot. I’ve performed stand-up comedy, and I’m planning my second wedding.
    There’s something else I don’t usually talk about, but it’s a cornerstone in my belief: When I was 14, my mother died suddenly in a car accident. At my mom’s funeral I remember making a choice. I could either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe” or I could be brave enough to live out a fulfilling, exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life.
    I worry that I may have betrayed(背叛) my mother by writing her in this light, but she has been a driving force in my life and, in the end I think she would have been proud of me. Courage isn’t a natural character of human beings. I believe that using courage is like developing a muscle. The more often I do things that scare me or that make me uncomfortable, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could do.
    Even though I inherited (继承) my mother’s cautious nature. I’ve also come to believe that fear can be a good thing, if we face it. Believing that has made my world a less scary place.
    小题1:In the writer’s childhood, the limits and rules were used to ______.
    A．improve her behaviorB．develop her independence
    C．be in memory of her dead brotherD．protect her from possible danger
    小题2: How does the writer deal with the things that frighten her?
    A．She just ignores them.B．She faces up to them.
    C．She turns to her mother for help.D．She does them with her friends.
    小题3:From the passage, we can learn that ______.
    A．the writer failed in her first marriage
    B．nothing can make the writer afraid now
    C．frightening things made the writer lose her self-confidence
    D．the writer’s mother felt annoyed with her
    小题4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．Mothers influence their children much.
    B．Fear is in fact not a bad thing.
    C．Facing fear bravely produces courage.
    D．The world is not as scary as people expect.

    Steve Fossett did not really look like an adventurer, but he reached some of the most difficult goals in sailing and flying.
    Fossett was most proud of being the first person to fly around the world alone in a hot-air balloon. To make a trip around the world alone, it was necessary to have an improved autopilot (自动驾驶仪) device. Fossett had one of his team members develop a more advanced balloon autopilot that would allow him to sleep and do other tasks while flying safely.
    Steve Fossett attempted the hot-air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do. He flew in the balloon’s capsule (密封舱) that was too small to stand upright. During his fourth attempt in 1998, he was almost killed during a storm off the coast of Australia. He fell 9,000 meters into the Coral Sea with his balloon’s capsule on fire. He was later rescued at sea.
    Fossett successfully made the trip in 2002. The trip started and ended in Australia. He traveled more than 33,000 kilometers for more than 14 days. On this flight, Fossett set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour. One main problem with earlier balloon flights was the threat of dangerous storms. A team of weather experts e-mailed and talked to Fossett by a satellite telephone to help him avoid such weather.   
    Steve Fossett’s hot-air balloon is now at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.  It is there as an example for other people to try and succeed in doing something important to them.
    小题1:What did Steve Fossett specially prepare for the trip around the world?
    A．He made the balloon’s capsule bigger.
    B．He had an autopilot impvoved.
    C．He formed a team to fly with him.
    D．He improved the balloon’s engine.
    小题2:Steve Fossett solved the problem of bad weather on his trip by ______.
    A．communicating with experts
    B．using his rich experience
    C．inventing a satellite phone
    D．consulting other adventurers
    小题3:We can learn from the text that Steve Fossett was ______.
    A．patient and carefulB．modest and easy-going
    C．brave and determinedD．energetic and kind-hearted
    小题4:What can we learn about Steve’s flight in 2002?
    A．He was rescued during the trip.
    B．He lost his way over the sea.
    C．It lasted over three weeks.
