高二英语阅读专项训练（4）（1+4） On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles.During his talk, Jack 41 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?” 42 shot up in the audience; people leaned(倾斜) forward to see whom Jack would 43 . But I jumped up, ran up the 44 to the stage, and grabbed（抓）the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts 45 through my mind was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 46 security guards and take me from the stage? 47 my desire for brave action was louder than any 48 voice.As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “Thats it! We cant wait for the 49 to come to us. We must take action to 50 what we want!”After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and bravely asked for his 51 email address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 52 my vision（幻象） and dreams with him. He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got 53 with 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 54 that would show me the way.I emailed him, and then again but got no 55 . As I sat down at my computer to check my emails, I 56 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 57 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat 58 to their chairs.Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait whether its a person, a place or a thing. We 59 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 60 way. So we dont try. We give up. But as Wayne Gretzky said: “Youll always miss 100% of the opportunities you dont take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.Now what are you waiting for?41A. put out B. reached for C. took off D. handed in42A.

Safety is a big problem, and I must be careful and stay vigilant(警惕的)all the time.Boston is a strange city. It may look wonderful in one area but, just a block later, you no longer feel safe.Run-down buildings,scary-looking sculpture,and suspicious robber-like people:It makes my hair stand up to walk alone after dark.Therefore,I try to go to the city during the day and only when I really have to,I had to go there today to get some Chinese food for my presentation on Chinese snacks.Unfortunately,I missed the 5:50 train back to Andover and the next one wouldnt come for three hours.Rich,a guy I met on the way to the station,also missed the train.He said his friends would pick him up by car and could give me a ride if I wanted.I decided to accept his offer,because I thought I would be able to get home more quickly this way.The next thing I knew,was on the subway to Richs apartment in another part of Boston.On the ride,he told me about his Scottish origins(血统)and poor family background.I knew he wasnt the kind of “proper”guy you met in Andover.Although I trusted Rich,I didnt go up to his apartment.Entering a strangers house is dangerous so I stayed outside and waited for his friends.It was a long wait and Rich came down to chat with me.I learned then that he had been a drug addict and was still a drug dealer.He showed me his parts,where he used to inject(注射)heroin.Although he didnt make his money legally ,I was sure he would not harm me.And indeed,Rich got me back to campus safely.61.What does the author think of living alone in a foreign country?A.It would be hard work.
