1.All you will leave behind for the world to remember is your legacy(遺產(chǎn)),but what legacy will you leave?
I had a philosophy(哲學(xué))professor,whose untidy appearance was highlighted(突出)by a (41)B sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses,which often (42)C on the tip of his nose.Every now and then,as most philosophy professors do,he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand"what's the meaning of(43)A"discussions.Many of those discussions went (44)D,but there were a few that really hit home(切中要害).This was one of them.
"(45)B to the following questions by a (46)A of hands,"my professor instructed.
"How many of you can tell me something about your parents?"Everyone's hand(47)B.
"How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?"About three-fourths put up their hands.
"How many of you can tell me something about your (48)C?"Two out of sixty students raised their hands.
"Look around the room,"he said,"In just two short generations (49)D any of us even know(50)D our own great-grandparents were.Oh sure,maybe we have an old photograph in a musty(發(fā)霉的)cigar box.(51)A maybe we know the classic family(52)B about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot.But how many of us (53)D know who they were,what they thought,what they took pride in,what they were afraid of,or what they dreamed about?Think about that.Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten.Will this (54)A to you?"
"Here's a better question.Look (55)B three generations.You are long (56)C.Instead of you sitting in this room,now it's your great-grandchildren.What will they have to say (57)D you?Will they know about you?Or will you be (58)A,too?"
"Is your life going to be a (59)C or an example?What legacy will you leave?The(60)D is yours.Class dismissed."
Nobody rose from their seats for five minutes.
