Ⅰ.完形填空

(2017·黑龙江哈尔滨六中月考)

After a decade at the publishing company，I was fired.I had worked so hard for

so long.I was always doing my job 1 ，clawing my way up the ladder.And 2 ？ Doing

these things had 3 me in the end，very little of lasting value.I wondered what

would happen if I let it all go—didn’t look for a job，didn’t keep my 4 ambition.

My husband thought it was a great idea.“Just 5 .” he said.As a serious windsurfer，he suggested I try the sport as a path to clarity.I had windsurfed before，

but only in 6 water.I didn’t like high winds.I didn’t like going fast—that was

7 .But I wanted to abandon the past.My 8 was to do nothing but read and windsurf

every day.I wanted to feel the fear and do it anyway.I wanted to learn how to ride

the currents，and I couldn’t think of a better way than to 9 myself to the invisible，ever­shifting wind.

I decided to sail at Swell City，a favorite outpost on the Washington side of the Columbia.That July 10 to be one of the windiest months on record.I grew to find that what I was doing did 11 for my standing in the world.It won me no friends.Then again，I was 12 .

One day，a friend and his 15­year­old son came，and after I explained my 13 ，he said the simplest but most profound thing: “It’s all in the 14 .” This kid had windsurfed only three times， 15 he knew the secret.“If you go out there knowing you’re going to 16 it，you will，”he continued.“But if you go out there afraid you’ll get hurt，you will.” I smiled at him.Wasn’t that 17 the same problem I’d encountered in life? I’d always been terrified I wouldn’t reach the goal or 18 the job.I knew I had to let that fear go.And slowly I did.

The wind wanted nothing from me.It cared not at all about my ambition or accomplishments.It 19 me that the beauty of life is in the trying.And that’s where I am: still trying for the turnaround in life and in the 20 .
