        Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, a wise man advised, "Barbara, be
    enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right
    they were!
       "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is
    the paste that helps you hang on there when the going tough. It is the inner voice that
    whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't!" It took years and years for
    the early work of Barara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine,
    to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't stop working on her experiments. Work was such a
    deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
       We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder
    that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age was. At 90, cellist
    Palblo Cassls would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers
    his stooped shoulders would strengthen and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and
    poet Samuei Ulman once wrote, "Years wrinkle (使起皱纹) the skin,but to give up enthusiasm
    wrinkles the soul."
       Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or power. Patricia
    Mellrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theatre in Kansas City, was once asked
    where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer long ago told me, I never
    made a dime until I stopped working for money."
       If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton
    was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had trouble
    d her for at least 30 years,and the quality of her led one critic (批评家)to say, "I'd like
    to call Layton a genius."
       We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-been". We need to turn the tears into
    sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, which all
    our senses-including pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture
    of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.

  • 人生感悟类阅读

人生感悟类阅读的概念

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。


生活感悟类阅读解题指导:

一、文章特点:

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”,点出全文的中心思想,就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂,耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似,一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句(论点),其它句子围绕主题展开论述(论据),论证方法多种多样,或举例,或引用名言,或正反对照等。

二、解题技巧:

针对生活感悟类文章的特点,做这类文章的完形填空时,要特别注意以下几点:
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文,找出when,where,who,what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔,充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句,有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域,而是谈一些小事和简单的道理,所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣,读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度,从而提高做题的准确度。因此,考生在平时要做一个有心人,即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事,思考人生的一些基本道理,多阅读一些短小精悍的美文,多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心,做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
