题文
完形填空。 On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The SuccessPrinciples, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack 1 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ''Who wants this?" 2
shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 3 . But I jumped up, ran up
the 4 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, 5 raced through my
mind- was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 6 security guards and
take me from the stage? 7 my desire for bold (大胆的)action was louder than any 8 voice. As I got
the bill from his hand, he said, "That's it! We can't wait for the 9 to come to us. We must take 10 to
create what we want!''
After his talk, I 11 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over
the next months, I sent him emails 12 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back
lots of encouragement. But my life got busy 13 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 arrow
that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again - but got no 14 . As I sat down at my computer to 15 my e-mails, I
16 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 17 that
hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a "Jack" for whom we wait - whether it's a person, a place or a thing. We 18
believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 19 way. So we
don't try. We 20 . But as Wayne Gretzky said,"You'll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don't
take!" So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“完形填空。 On a.....”主要考查你对 [故事类阅读 ]考点的理解。故事类阅读
故事类阅读概念：
这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
故事类阅读应试技巧：
1、抓住文章的6个要素：
阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此，无论是顺叙还是倒叙，阅读此类文章时，必须要找到它结构中的5个W（when, where, who, why, what）和1个H（how），不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问，寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。
2、注意作者的议论和抒情：
高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达，因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换，也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题，讲完一件事情后，作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线，它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图，属于必考点，所以要仔细体会。
3、结合前两点归纳文章中心，把握作者态度：
故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的，它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时，尤其要分析文章的结尾，因为很多文章卒章显志，用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心；文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关；也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外，叙述一件事必有其目的，或阐明某一观点，或赞美某种品德，或抨击某种陋习，这就要求我们在阅读时，通过对细节（第1点中的六要素）的理解，把握作者的态度。
4、有章有据进行解题判断：
分析文章，归纳主题，属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章，架空分析，一定让分析在文章中有依据。
