The World Always Makes Way For The Dreamer
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall
listening to Mr.Zigler 1 everyone"s spirits up to the ceiling. I 2 there feeling like l could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said,"Dad,I want to 3 people feel like that." My
father asked me 4 I meant. "I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr.Zigler." I replied. A
5 was born.
Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others. 6 a four-year relationship with Fortune
100 company 7 as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the
height of my 8 .Many people were 9 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income.And they
asked 10 I would risk everything for a dream. I made my 11 to start my own company and leave
my secure position after 12 a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a
13 that changed my life He asked us, "If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?"
After giving us a 14 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, "Why do you need a 15 ?" I
would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realize that 16 I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn"t need a god"s help to be a motivational speaker. A
motivational speaker was 17 .
Having made that decision, I was immediately 18 . One week after I gave notice, my husband was
laid off from his job,and now we had no 19 . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to
happen.In a short time my husband found a better job. And I was able to book several 20 engagements (业务) with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.

Manigault, the wife of my mother"s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School
in Camden, New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she
listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn"t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps.
She took me to the theatre - not just children"s theatre but adult comedies and dramas - and her faith that
I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at
home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I"ll never
forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis"s Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer
herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist". My
column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities - and it did-but it
also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the
discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of
published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favorite niece". Like a diamond, she has
reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
B. She developed her taste for music.
C. She introduced her to adult plays.
D. She discovered her talent for dancing.
B. A book of great fun.
C. A serious masterpiece.
D. A heartbreaking play.
B. develop her capabilities for writing
C. involve her in teenage social activities
D. offer her a series of writing jobs
B. I trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
C. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.
D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning
extended illness. I"m not sure we are ever really 1 to lose a parent, especially Mom. There were more
things I needed to 2 with her about, and I know I wasn"t ready to let her 3 . Less than one month later, my 4 fell from a ladder, suffered a head injury, and died a week later.
My husband was not only my life partner but my business 5 , and there I was left to 6 our business and my life alone. After 7 the initial ( 最初的 )shock of losing the two people who had the greatest
8 on my life, I started to pick up the pieces with the 9 and strength provided by family, friends, and
business associates.
I quickly 10 that asking for help was the only way I would 11 the sadness and keep my business
and my home intact (完好无损的). I"d often 12 myself looking around in a confused state , feeling
overwhelmed (难以抵抗的) because my challenges seemed so 13 . Learning to 14 for the help I
needed was a huge achievement. I discovered that people 15 wanted to help, but they didn"t know how. My 16 opened the door for them to give the support they wanted to share.
Three years have passed since that time. I sold my 17 and my house and chose to return to the
state of my birth, where my family once lived. I 18 to ask for help from my 19 of family, friends, and
colleagues because I am driven to a life of simplicity and joy, and I know I won"t get there alone. And
that"s just 20 .

The curious child reached up to get the wire of a hot kettle in the kitchen and poured boiling water over
her body.
Her mother Ruby called an ambulance which rushed her to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Amie" s body had been burned and all of her bums were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned
areas of Amie" s body, doctors performed complex skin grafts (移植) to close her wounds and control
her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Amie had 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at age 4 , other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn"t play with
her." I was the only burned child in the street," she recalled, " some children refused to become friends
because of that."
Today, age 17, Amie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent
part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager
who offers inspiration and hope to other young bums victims. She is a member of the Scottish Burned
Children"s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Amie will be joining the younger children at the
Graff ham Water Center for the charity" s first summer camp. "I"ll show them how to treat others" unkind
stares as unimportant and not worry about them," she says. Amie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless
tops, and she plans to show the younger children at the summer camp that they can too." I do not go to
great lengths to hide my burns scars," she says, "I gave up wondering how other people would react
years ago."

D. were afraid of her
B. To live a normal life.
C. To show her fashionable sleeveless tops.
D. To recover from injuries.

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess
approached me and asked, " Would you mind 1 your seat? A couple would like to sit together." The
only 2 seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts (石膏绷带), a black-and-blue face, and a sad
expression. " 3 am I going to sit there," I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, "She needs
help." Finally, I 4 to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy. She 5 hurt in a car accident and now was on her way for 6 .
When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to 7 that Kathy would not be able to
8 herself. I considered 9 to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too 10 to offer a service to a
11 . But then I realized that Kathy"s need was more 12 than my discomfort. I offered to help her
eat, and 13 she was uncomfortable to accept, she 14 as I expected. We became closer and
closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart 15 , and the 16 was
really better spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached 17 my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love 18
flows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us 19 . When we 20 to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.
