On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of
The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack
36 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?”
37 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would
38 . But I jumped up, ran up the
39 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air,
40 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they
41 security guards and take me from the stage?
42 my desire for bold （大胆的）action was louder than any
43 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the
44 to come to us. We must take
45 to create what we want!’’
After his talk, I
46 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails
47 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy
48 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no
49 . As I sat down at my computer to
50 my e-mails, I
51 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely
52 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We
53 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n)
54 way. So we don’t try. We
55 . But as Wayne Gretzky said，“You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.

人生感悟类阅读的概念：

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。
