Letting go of success I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've____ that the best way to do it is to let go of past failures. But that's not all. One can never fully ____ today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never ____ while resting comfortably on their laurels (荣誉). The ___ is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures! I once ____ a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend ____ Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her ____ son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor. He____ he was racing those cars around a great track, which in ____ was an imaginary circle around a golden statue (雕像). The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable ____ for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night. When his mother told him the time had come to ____, the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this?” ____ to the Oscar. “Sure, ” he smiled. “It's yours.” The horrified mother ____. “Put that back immediately!” Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me; ____it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a ____ hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to____, rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start. You may have learned to let go of past ____ and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the ____? Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock? “I like the ____ of the future better than the history of the past,” said Thomas Jefferson. I ____. After all, the future, not the past, is where the rest of your life will be lived. 小题1:A discovered B. inferred C. hoped D. worried 小题2: A.spend B.live C.understand D.enjoy 小题3: A.struggle B.work C.succeed D.learn 小题4: A.story B.fact C.idea D.news 小题5: A.wrote B.told C.knew D.heard 小题6: A.saw B.recognized C.met D.visited 小题7: A.careful B.small C.lonely D.clever 小题8: A.pretended B.believed C.insisted D.suggested 小题9: A.reality B.case C.turn D.need 小题10: A.cared B.asked C.won D.looked 小题11: A.act B.leave C.play D.wait 小题12: A.running B.getting C.pointing D.shouting 小题13: A.objected B.noticed C.suffered D.breathed 小题14: A.selling B.keeping C.earning D.sharing 小题15: A.special B.comfortable C.expensive D.necessary 小题16: A.rest B.cheat C.stop D.sit 小题17: A.difficulties B.events C.failures D.achievements 小题18: A.time B.future C.body D.brain 小题19: A.idea B.meaning C.dreams D.thoughts 小题20: A.obey B.permit C.wish D.agree
