　　1．In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!

　　The assignment (任务) was to “go to someone you love

　　36

　　the next week and tell them you love them. It

　　37

　　to be someone you have never

　　38

　　those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn’t

　　39

　　like a very tough assignment,

　　40

　　you stop to realize that most of the men

　　were over 35 and were

　　41

　　in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done

　　42

　　this was a very threatening assignment for some.

　　At the

　　43

　　of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to

　　44

　　what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the

　　45

　　to volunteer, as was usually the

　　46

　　, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit

　　47

　　. As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis. I was quite

　　48

　　with you last week when you gave us the assignment. I didn’t feel that I had

　　49

　　to say those words to and

　　50

　　, who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me. It was telling me that I

　　51

　　exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated

　　52

　　and really never resolved it since that one. We

　　53

　　seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But

　　54

　　then, we hardly spoke to each other. So last. Tuesday

　　55

　　I got home, I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him.”

　　37．A．has to B．ought to C．had better D．can

　　38．A．told B．said C．talked D．spoken

　　There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people

　　36

　　to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you

　　37

　　is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you

　　38

　　others. Because while there will be times

　　39

　　outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely

　　40

　　. The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are

　　41

　　. Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision

　　42

　　anyway.

　　You were

　　43

　　with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and

　　44

　　the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone

　　against your own

　　45

　　.

　　Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of

　　46

　　a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the

　　47

　　necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to

　　48

　　on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being

　　49

　　to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior

　　50

　　knew more than I did, and so I

　　51

　　too much significance to their opinions.

　　You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in

　　52

　　. Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by

　　53

　　and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to

　　54

　　this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to

　　55

　　and to life.

　　I spent two months with an American family last year when I studied in America.

　　It is said, “The best house is in America, the best wife is in Japan, and the best food is in China.” So I took pride （自豪）and __21__ to __22__ “the best food” for my American family. Each day, regardless of my poor skill of cooking, I would do something in __23__ way: changing the dishes’ colour, the meat’s type or the soup’s style. （风味）Thus, my American friends could discover the __24__ of eating Chinese food.

　　But the joke was here: Yesterday, I cooked Sichuan style __27__ for dinner. I was __28__ at my achievement.（成就）

　　When all the family members arrived at the table, they first looked __29__ at the fish, then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their __30__?” they asked, “It’s terrible!”

　　Terrible or beautiful? I don’t know. But I __31_ know that fish heads are delicious. The __32__ is the best part of fish; in __33__ only the respectable （受敬重的）guest can have the special honour of __34__ it.

　　Another __35__ thing is: The American friends often said to me “__36__” as they __37__ fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their kindness __38__ actually helping myself to any of the food. __39__, I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits. Dear me, no matter how much or how often I brought home food, as long as it was nice to their taste, they __40__ hesitated （犹豫）to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished

　　I stepped into my hotel room which was surrounded by a(n)

　　26

　　king-size bed, flanked（两侧有）by overstuffed armchairs. “Wow,” I thought to myself. “Nice place.”

　　27

　　hotels. I love to enter a clean room, look out the window, or walk out in the morning

　　that each afternoon when I return, someone else will have made the bed.

　　The

　　greatly however, based on your

　　35

　　on the life of a small child. Your life will most certainly improve, if you pay attention to your important

　　36

　　, and make the choice to put her or him first. What could you do today to let your loved ones know how much they

　　37

　　to you? What will you do tomorrow? And the next day?

　　Think of one specific

　　38
