上一题下一题

I am a person who doesn’t like waiting. I don’t like to wait in line, being put on hold when making a phone call, or arriving at an apartment to find that my companion will be          . And of course, I don’t like waiting rooms.
       , I realize that my agony(痛苦) will not be good for me, as an         crowded world can only mean one thing – more waiting.
       this, I have taken an action and decide to turn my frustration to productive ends. In short, I am looking for what I call “waiting-in-line”         .
These are volumes that contain materials         for being read in shortened words, so there is no extended story line to lose track of. Another          is that they be         enough to slip neatly into my back pocket.
The other day I went to the supermarket.         that the rain would keep most people away, I was         to see that the place was filled with         . Every checkout was open – and jammed! But I can         my pocket book and go to work.
The more the world demands that I         , the more I learn from my waiting library. Look at the followings: One Hundred Things Every American Should Know; The Poetry of Robert Frost; Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers; Still More Toasts. I have learned interesting and enriching things and much         from these books.
On a recent visit to the general store, I placed my order at the         along with six or seven people. The old female employee seemed to have her hands full as she rushed         . “Young man, just be         ,” she said to me.
No problem. I quietly opened my dictionary prose(散文) and poetical quotations. Perhaps the other customers         me as a bookish, lonely soul. But         did they realize that I was enjoying the         of Shakespeare, Thoreau, Homer and Ben Johnson.

When Winston Churchill was a young man, his father concluded that Churchill was “unfit for a career in law or politics” because he did so badly in school.
When Charles Darwin was getting ready to   36   on his five-year expedition on The Beagle, his father was extremely   37 . he thought his son was falling into a life of sin and idleness.
George Washington’s mother was a complaining,   38   woman by all accounts. She thought little of Washington’s achievements and didn’t   39   at either of his presidential inaugurations（就职典礼）. She was always complaining that her   40   overlooked her and she was especially angry when her son George ran off to   41   the army for the American Revolution. She   42   believed it was his duty to stay home and take care of her.
In his youth, the   43   Leonard Bernstein, one of the most talented and successful composers in American history, was continually pressured by his father to give up his   44   and do something worthwhile, like help out in his family’s beauty-supply business. After Leonard became   45 , his father was asked about that, and he answered, “Well, how was I supposed to know he was the Leonard Bernstein?”
People may criticize you or make fun of your ideas or actively try to   46   you. Often their efforts are only attempts to protect you from   47 . But obviously failure is only a possibility if you stop. If you keep   48 , a “failure” is just another learning   49 . Besides, giving up on a heartfelt goal is worse than failing. “Many people die”, said Wendell Holmes, “ 50   their music still in them.” That’s true tragedy.
So listen   51   to the worries and criticisms of your friends and family, and do your best to put their   52   at ease, but then carry on. Listen last to your own heart. You   53   yourself better than anyone on earth. Make sure your song is   54 .
Listen to your own heart. Don’t let your music   55   with you.

The 53-year-old farmer has spent the hottest summers and severest winters cooking, eating and   1    in his mobile home: a shaky tricycle. Chen began his journey on the three-wheel rickshaw from his    2   Jiangsu province in 2001 after hearing the news that Beijing had won the bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games.
