點(diǎn)評:由于完形填空的文章是一個(gè)意義相關(guān)聯(lián)的語篇,圍繞一個(gè)話題論述,因此在行文中詞語的重復(fù)、替代、復(fù)現(xiàn)和同現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象是不可避免的。根據(jù)這個(gè)原則,某一個(gè)空格所對應(yīng)的答案很可能就是在上下文中復(fù)現(xiàn)或同現(xiàn)的相關(guān)詞,考生可以根據(jù)這些詞之間的有機(jī)聯(lián)系來確定答案。所以,解題時(shí)應(yīng)聯(lián)系上下文尋找相關(guān)線索,如某一個(gè)詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞和概括詞等。但由于我們在做題時(shí)不可能總是重復(fù)地閱讀文章,因此,在做完形填空時(shí)要培養(yǎng)一種捕捉并記憶相關(guān)信息的能力。

I had my first job at a local diner called the Buttercup Bakery when I was 22. I worked there for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress Helen who had incredible self-respect and did what she loved—serving people. She made everyone smile and feel good, customers and co-workers alike.

Being a waitress changed my life. One of my regular customers was Fred Hasbrook, an electronics salesman. Thanks to the newfound confidence I picked up from Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant. But when I called my parents to ask for a loan, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”

The next day, I shared my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody would just have faith in me.”

He walked over to some of the other diner regulars and the next day handed me checks totaling $50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral(擔(dān)保)on this loan is my trust in your honesty as a person. Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make that dream come true.”

I took the checks to Merrill Lynch—the first time I had ever entered a brokerage(經(jīng)紀(jì)業(yè))house—where the money was invested for me. I continued working at the Buttercup, making plans for the restaurant I would open. My investments soured, though, and I lost the money.

After great deliberation(考慮) I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was hired and ended up becoming a pretty good broker. Eventually I paid back Fred and my customers the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm.

I got a thank-you note from Fred, which will be imprinted on my head forever. He had been sick and wrote that my check had helped cover his mounting medical bills. His letter read, “That loan may have been one of the best investments that I will ever make.”
