One of the most encouraging sayings I ever heard was by
Brian Tracy.He said，“The 1 between successful people
and unsuccessful people is that successful people fail many
more times than unsuccessful people.”
I deeply understood the wisdom of the 2 soon after
my first book was published(出版).
I was living in Atlanta at the time and organized my first
signing sale for my new book at the Phoenix and Dragon，the
largest bookstore in the city. 3 a nice sign was placed
outside the room 4 pictures of both me and my book，The
9 Insights of the Wealthy Soul，not a single customer entered
the room.As each minute passed，I became increasingly 5 .
At 6：25 p.m.，just before the store's closing，I began to
get myself ready to leave.At that moment，just when I couldn't
feel any 6 ，a middleaged couple walked into the room.I
managed to 7 my feelings and introduced myself and my
book.
The couple turned the pages each other，and the husband
8 to his wife.She then told me，“I think we'll get the book.”
Despite the impulse(冲动) to jump 9 ，and hold their
hands to thank them for being my 10 readers，I realized
the woman was trying to say something else.
“The 11 we're buying it is that our son died two years
ago，” she said.“Maybe your book will help us 12 it.”
At that moment，I knew if I never sold a copy of book，
my four years of 13 had been meaningless.
Although I would have many more challenging years after
my book became a bestseller，this couple's story was all the
motivation(动机) I needed at that point to keep me 14 .
Thanks to them，I would realize the greatest of lives are
made all in the same way：one challenge...one difficulty...one
step...and one small 15 at a time.

二、阅读理解(2018枣庄)
①He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he
got at his family's small house on an island in the middle of a
New Hampshire lake.
②On the day before the bass(鲈鱼) season opened，he
and his father were fishing early in the evening，catching
sunfish and the bass with worms. Before long，when his
fishing pole doubled over，he knew something huge was on
the other end.
His father watched him with admiration as the boy
skillfully worked the fish alongside the bank and he very
successfully lifted the exhausted fish from the water.It was the
largest one he had ever seen，but it was a bass.
③The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish，
the fish jumped up and down in the moonlight.The father
looked at his watch.It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the
season opened.He looked at the fish，then at the boy.“You will
have to put it back，my son，” he said.
“I have never seen such a big fish before，” cried the
boy.“There will be other fish，” said his father.The boy
looked around the lake.No other fishermen or boats were
anywhere around in the moonlight.He looked again at his
father.Even though no one had seen them，nor could anyone
ever know what time he caught the fish，the boy could tell by
his father's voice that the decision couldn't be changed.He
slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and
lowered it into the water.
④That was 34 years ago.And he has never again caught such
a beautiful fish as the one he landed that night long ago.But he
does see the fish again and again—every time he comes up against
a question of ethics(伦理).For，as his father taught him，ethics
are simple matters of right and wrong.It is only the practice of
ethics that is difficult.
⑤We would if we were taught to put the fish back when
we were young.For we would have learned the truth.The
decision to do right lives fresh in our memory.It is a story we
will proudly tell our friends and grandchildren.7
