(2012·黑龙江重点中学高三复检)
One day,an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students.To make the point__1__,he used an illustration.
As he stood in front of the group,he said,“Okay,time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a widemouth jar and set it on the table.Then he__2__placed about a dozen fistsized rocks,one by one,into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the__3__and no more rocks would fit inside,he asked,“Is this jar__4__?” Everyone in the class said,“Yes.”
“Really?” Then he__5__under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel (石子),dumped some in and__6__ the jar,causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces__7__the big rocks.Then he asked the group the
same question.“Probably not,”
one of them
answered.“Good!” he replied.
He reached under the table and__8__a bucket of sand.He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the__9__left between the rocks and the gravel.__10__he asked the question.“No!” the class shouted.“Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in__11__the jar was filled to the brim.
Then the expert in time management looked at the class and asked,“What is the__12__of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one__13__student raised his hand and said,“It is,however full your schedule is,if you try really hard you can always__14__some more things in it.”
“No,” the speaker replied.“The truth it teaches us is that you will__15__get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first.__16__the big rocks in your life are,do things
that you love and__17__for yourself.In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with__18__things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big,important stuff.So,tonight,or in the morning,when you are__19__on this short story,ask yourself what the ‘big rocks’ in your life are.Then put those in your__20__ first.”

(2016·江西高三上学期七校联考)
“I’ve changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope,but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to his
father for Christmas written after his father had been knifed to
death outside his school gate,must have touched everyone’s
heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us,we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien,the stars are still there,and one day,when you are older and your tears have gone,you will see them again.And,in a strange way,I expect that you will find your father there,too,in your mind and heart.I find that my parents,who died years ago,still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor,I was so proud,or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming,but when it did,all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors,and to lay down my life for those in my care?How many people would want me back for Christmas?It’s a serious thought,one to give me pause.
I pray silently,sometimes,in the dead of night,that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword,and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all,and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever,but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on,I’m sure,in the lives of those we love,and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true,there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
