When I was a child, my parents taught me the difference between good and bad behavior by showing me specific examples. My mother told me that you don’t 1 other kids because you would not like 2 if they hit you. That makes 3. But, if my mother told me to be “nice” to someone, it was too vague for me to 4. But if she said that being nice       5 delivering daffodils to a next door neighbor, that I could understand.
I believe that doing practical things can 6 the world a better place. When I was in my twenties I thought a lot about the meaning of life. At the time, I was getting started in my 7 of designing more humane facilities for animals at big farms and slaughterhouses(屠宰場). Many people would think that to even work at a slauterhouse would be inhumane, but they 8 that every human and animal 9 dies. In my mind, I had a(n) 10 of a way to make tht dying as 11 as possible.
Back in the 1970s, I went to fifty different feedlots and big farms in Arizona and Texas and 12 them work cattle. I cataloged the parts of each facility that ­13 effectively. I took the best loading ramps, and other components and 14 them into an ideal new system. I get great 15 when a farmer tells me that my corral (畜欄)16 helps cattle move through it quietly and 17. When cattle stay calm, it means they are not scared. And that makes me feel I’ve 18 something important.
Some people might think if I could snap my 19 I’d choose to be “normal”. But, I wouldn’t want to give up my 20 to see in beautiful, precise pictures. I believe in them.

Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once __41 __, such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “___42___  ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I remembered him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) ___43___ divorce (離婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small ___44___ out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I ___45___ on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about  ___46___ opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my ___47___ to remind me to look for those “diamonds” that I need. I have been trying to sell my business . On Monday morning, a man who seemed interested in ___48___ some of my stock (股票) stopped by. I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it ___49___!’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new ___50___  !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he decided to keep his stone with him all the time as a ___51___ to look for “diamonds” as he dug through the ___52___ of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he points out. “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. Great moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that,   ___53___ left unrecognized, will be forever lost.
Are you looking for “diamonds” every day? If not, you may ___54___ pass them by! Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in the difficulty you’re ___55___ now.

請認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   32 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been   33  for years—often from   34  childhood. These stories may have no   35  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  36  my development? I was never   37  to work on cars or be around   38 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later,   39 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   40  down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   41  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   42  and told him about my   43  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  44  is it that you can solve   45  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
