The power of encouragement is great. You may draw some inspiration from the following story.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a famous 19thcentury poet and artist, was once
26 by an elderly man. The old man had some sketches (素描) and drawings that he
27 Rossetti to look at them and tell him if they were any good, or
28 they at least showed potential(潜在的)talent.
Rossetti looked them
29 carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a
30 man, and he told the elderly
31 as gently as possible that the pictures were of little value and showed little talent. He was sorry,
32 he could not
33 to the man.
The visitor was
34 , but seemed to expect Rossetti’s
35 .He then apologized for
36 Rossetti’s time, but would he just
37 a few more drawings—these done by a(n)
38 art student？Rossetti looked over the
39 batch (一批) of sketches and immediately became
40 over the talent they revealed(显示；透露) .“These,” he said,“Oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He should be
41 every help and encouragement in his career as an artist. He has a hopeful future if he will work and stick to it.”
Rossetti could see that the old man was
42 moved.“Who is this fine young
artist？” he asked.“Your son？” “No,” said the old man sadly.“It was I
43 painted the pictures forty years ago.
44 I had heard your praise then！For you see, I got discouraged and
45 drawing—too soon.”

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。
