    　　Another person's enthusiasm(热情)was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved．That person was my stepmother．

    　　I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia．My father 　　1　　 me to her with these words：“I would like you to meet the fellow who is distinguished(known)for being the 　　2　　 boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 　　3　　 than tomorrow morning．”

    　　My stepmother walked over to me, raised my 　　4　　 slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye．Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are 　　5　　．This is not the worst boy at all, 　　6　　 the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet(释放的途径)for his enthusiasm．”

    　　That statement began a(n)　　7　　 between us．No one had ever called me smart．My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind 　　8　　 a bad boy．My stepmother changed all that．

    　　She 　　9　　 many things．She persuaded(说服)my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors．She moved our family into the county center, where my father's career(事业)could be more 　　10　　 and my brother and I could be better educated．

    　　When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter(打字机)and told me that she believed that I could become a 　　11　　．I knew her enthusiasm, I appreciated it had already improved our lives．I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers．I was doing the same kind of 　　12　　 that great day when I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later．I wasn't the 　　13　　 beneficiary(受益者)．My father became the 　　14　　 man in town．My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president．

    　　What power 　　15　　 has! When that power is released(let out)to support one's mind and is constantly strengthened by faith(belief), it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的)force(power)．

    　　You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it．This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm．

         Once there was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails (钉子) and
    told him that every time he lost his temper (脾气), he must hammer (用锤敲打) a nail into the back of
    the fence (栅栏). The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as
    he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually (逐渐地) dwindled down.
    He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day
    came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that
    the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the
    young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the
    hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.
    The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one, You
    can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is
    still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical (身体的) one." As William Arthur Ward once said,
    "It is wise to direct your anger towards problems not people, to focus your energies on answers not
    excuses. "
    1.  When the boy lost his temper, he must    ___    as his father told him.
    A. break some plates and glasses
    B. pull out one nail of the back of the fence
    C. hammer a nail into the back of the fence
    2.  Underlined expression dwindled down means     __    .
    A. become gradually smaller
    B. become gradually larger
    C. get more and more
    3. When the boy finally told his father that all the nails were gone, his father    ___   .
    A. took him to the fence and look at the holes
    B. asked him to pull out one nail of the back of the fence
    C. asked him to focus your energies on excuses
    4. Which of the following about the boy is WRONG
    A. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
    B. The boy found it was easier to drive nails into the fence than to hold his temper.
    C.  The number of nails hammered daily became smaller and smaller.
    5. We can infer from the passage that     _       .
    A. the boy still had a bad temper at last
    B. the boy began to know a verbal wound was nothing serious
    C. the boy learnt to how to control his temper and settle the problems

    “Who did this?” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.
    “Who did this?” she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”
    “Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. I did not do it on purpose (故意). It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?
    If I admitted (承认) it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? “My father is going to get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise (举起) my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up.
    “I did it,” I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had.
    My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike (打) a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
    “I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds (鸟类野外指南) that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished (惩罚). But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”
    I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.
    【小题1】How did the writer feel when he saw his teacher walking towards him with a book from bookshelves?

    A．Relaxed.B．Pleased.C．Frightened.D．Guilty.
    【小题2】What do the underlined words “check out” mean?

    B．The writer broke the window when he was catching a bird.
    C．The writer was seriously punished after he admitted his mistake.
