I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother.We had 26 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention.I was 27 and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 28 afford a dream.
My dream was to be a 29 .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball.I was also 30 : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 31 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief.One particular 32 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 33 .This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 34 of savings for a house for my mother.The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 35 at it.
Then I realized I would have to 36 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing.I was 37 about this.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 38 as I expected him to be.“You have your whole life to work,” he said.“Your 39 days are limited.You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head 40 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 41 his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.
“$ 3.25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 42 ?” he asked.
That 43 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal.I devoted myself to 44 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract.I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 45 of my dreams.

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。
