专题三 完形填空 训练6 夹叙夹议(一)
A(导学号59430094)
All you will leave behind for the world to remember is your legacy (遗产),but what legacy will you leave?
I had a philosophy (哲学) professor,whose untidy appearance was highlighted (突出) by a __1__ sports coat and ill-fitting thick glasses,which often __2__ on the tip of his nose.Every now and then,as most philosophy professors do,he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand “what's the meaning of __3__” discussions.Many of those discussions went __4__,but there were a few that really hit home (切中要害).This was one of them.
“__5__ to the following questions by a __6__of hands,” my professor instructed.
“How many of you can tell me something about your parents?” Everyone's hand __7__.
“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?” About three-fourths put up their hands.
“How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents?” Two out of sixty students __8__ their hands.
“Look around the room,” he said.“In just two short generations __9__ any of us even know __10__ our own great-grandparents were.Oh sure,maybe we have an old photograph in a musty (发霉的) cigar box.__11__ maybe we know the classic family __12__ about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot.But how many of us __13__ know who they were,what they thought,what they took pride in,what they were afraid of,or what they dreamed about? Think about that.Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten.Will this __14__ to you?”
“Here's a better question.Look __15__ three generations.You are long __16__.Instead of you sitting in this room,now it's your great-grandchildren.What will they have to say __17__ you? Will they know about you? Or will you be __18__,too?”
“Is your life going to be a __19__ or an example? What legacy will you leave? The __20__ is yours.Class dismissed.”
Nobody rose from their seats for five minutes.
