选出最佳选项、并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Once, it was in the middle of a personal development workshop. One of the people present stood up and began   36   out diamond rings to each of the one hundred people in the room.
He was a   37   jeweler, he said, and he had made these expensive   38   as gifts to open people’s eyes to the abundance(富裕) of life.
On his fifth birthday, the man   39 , his uncle had taken him to a candy (糖果)   40   and told him that he could take   41  he wanted, and as much as he wanted.   42   he was very pleased and decided to   43   something he liked best.
The entire store was   44   to him. He had looked at the jars and plates, and he hadn’t known where to   45 . At last, he filled a bag with all his   46   candies. He didn’t take everything,   47   that feeling of being able to have whatever he wanted seemed to make him very   48 .
Since then, he said, he had been able to   49   the abundance of life. He saw the world as full of   50 , riches and beauty — all you had to do was, take your pick and fill your bag.
The sad truth is that most of us grow up with the   51   feeling —we develop a poverty mentality(贫穷心理). We   52   believe that there simply isn’t enough. We think we have to  53 , fight and struggle, so that we can get what we need and want. If we can’t   54 our hands to get, someone else will be searching through our pockets. The   55   of that mentality is that we all have to go hungry.
Get a taste of abundance and try to have a great life.
