Lang Lang is a world-class young pianist who grew up in Shenyang. He went to a piano school in Beijing when he was just eight. “You need      ,” his father said. “But if you don’t work hard, no fortune will come.”
What made him sad was      his piano teacher in Beijing didn’t like him. “You have no talent(天賦). You will never be a pianist.”     nine-year-old boy Lang Lang was badly     . He decided that he didn’t want to be a      any more. For the next two weeks he didn’t touch the piano.      , his father didn’t push, but waited.
Luckily, the day came when his teacher asked him to      some holiday songs. He didn’t want to, but as he placed his fingers on the piano key, he      that he could show others that he had talent____.That day he told his father      he had been waiting to hear— that he wanted to study with a new teacher.      that point on, everything turned around.
He started      competitions(比賽). In the 1994 International Young Pianists Competition, when it was      that Lang Lang had won, he was too      to hold back his tears. Soon      was clear that he couldn’t stay in China forever—he had to play on the world’s big      . In 1997 Lang Lang      again, this time to Philadelphia, U.S. There he spent two years practicing, and by 1999 he had worked hard enough for fortune to take over. After his      performance at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival, gigs(特邀演出 ) in Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall started      . Lang Lang finally worked to reach the place where fortune spots(發(fā)現(xiàn)) him, and lets him     .

"I won't be cutting this year," my husband Bob said. "Dan, you and John are old enough to measure things. Do it all by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?

“We can't make the tree taller." I said. "But we can put it on a higher position"
Dan nodded his head sideways. "We could put it on the coffee table. It just might work! Let's try it!“
When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.
"What a good idea!" he declared "Why didn't I ever think of such a thing?"   
John broke into a grin Dan's chest swelled with pride.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs(突破). He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him          he thought he was able to be so much more          than the average person.
He responded that it all came from a(n)        with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to         milk from the fridge when he          the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came in,          shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful          you have made! I have          seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been         . Would you like to get down and          in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge.
His mother then said, “ You know, what we have here is a          experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two          hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can       .” The little boy learned that if he          the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful         !
This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be         to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just          for learning something new, which is,         , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn't       ,” we usually learn something          from it.

It is Sunday and lunch has, as usual, come to a hurried end.My wife and I are still sitting at the table.My wife likes to be        in the life of her child, but I sometimes fear she is in too deep.She has        the morning on an online student forum, asking questions about UCAS        Dick.
“A lot of people haven’t had any offers yet,” she says. “I said I already had one.”
“Wait,” Dick says. “Are you        to be me?”
“No, I have my own login details now,” she says.
“How do you know he isn’t his own mother pretending to be him?” Dick says.
Earlier, when we all sat down to lunch, Dick, who had been to parties the        evening, came back.
“Who were there?” my wife asks Dick. “What was it like?”
“It was OK.” he says.
“Not good enough,” she says. “What was the worst thing        happened?” My wife’s continued question        a deepening, boring silence. I start to eat faster. There is a long, highly        pause in the conversation.
“So,” she says       , “was it a kissing party?”
“Oh my God!” shouts Dick,        his fork. “What is wrong with you? Why are you like this?”
Surrounded by further scolds, lunch comes to a hurried end. Dick finds himself        with clearing up.       , the running of water and the sound of washing plates are the only sounds in the room.
      at any time you’re prepared to apologize for being rude,” she says, “you can go and finish watching the football.”
“Are you joking?” he shouts. “No way! Why        I apologize to you?”
He pauses to look into the bottom of a pan, and a smile        across his face. “What I mean is, I’m really very sorry,” he says, dropping the pan into the sink and running from the room. “Bye!”
“You don’t have to worry,” my wife says. “In a       ’s time, you’ll be 18 and I won’t be able to do this to you any more.”
“Really?” he says.
“You’ll be a(n)       ,” she says.
The boy stops to consider the blue print that after a        set seven days from then on, his parents will be        to stop ruining his life. He looks both doubtful and a little alarmed.
I approaches my wife,whispering to her. “Dear, I agree with you—understanding and trust may        be a good way to communicate with our teen children.”

I have forgotten the name of an old lady who was a customer on my paper route when I was a twelve-year-old boy back in 1954. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I can only hope to pass on to someone else someday.
On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady's house. I found a smooth rock and sent it. The stone headed straight for a small window on the old lady's back door. At the sound of broken glass, we took off from the old lady's yard.
I was too scared about getting caught that first night. However, a few days later when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.
I decided to save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window. Then I put the envelope through the letter slot in her door. My soul felt redeemed (救贖) and I couldn't wait for the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old lady's eyes.
The next day, I. handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and said, "Here, I have something for you. " It was a bag of cookies. I thanked her and ate the cookies as I continued my route.
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked. Inside was the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I'm proud of you. ”

閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,從文后所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中,選出一個可以填入空白處的最佳答案。
  My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other      , including her“sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression that she's       anything.
  Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us,     that she doesn't push too hard on them,        really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that        often don't realize she's blind.
  I    this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very      about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was      excited about her finger-painting project.
  “Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to       colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle      with us”. 
  To my great      , my child had learned about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my      showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really       what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt       Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
  I realized Kayla didn't know that Michelle was blind. It had just never       in conversation. When I told my daughter that Michelle was blind, she was       for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla      . And I knew my child was      because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also heard Kayla's      in her work.
  We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my       .”
  Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
