二、拓展提升
I.阅读理解
A
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy
place like a street corner or in a noisy mall. I have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my
attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday, I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage because I just had the time to
do it after many days of planning. After the purchase in one of the large shops, I picked up my phone from
my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot but my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage to ring the number of my driver
for me and she replied that it was the shop policy that they cannot use mobile phones while working in the
shop.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂I got out of the shop onto the busy street in front and approached a young mother with her two kids to
make a request. As soon as I said “Excuse me, madam”， she grabbed both her kids and ran. I felt like a
kidnapper (绑匪)．
I stood there, wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the young mum. I stood there
in the busy street with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on
their faces.
I saw a man pretty shabbily dressed. He seemed to have noticed me and I just stopped him expecting
him to rush past. My request escaped the lips. He immediately called the number of my driver and waited
till my car came to be sure I was picked up, and he turned around before I could thank him adequately and
was gone. I was surprised by his kindness and hope I will do likewise to strangers who try to catch my
attention from now on.

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are 1 in the right
place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed notices in national
newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to 2 me.

them, watched their lives and had them 4 various experiments.
I carried out a simple 5 to discover whether their differences in luck was due to differences in
their ability to 6 opportunities. I gave both the lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them
to look 7 it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message
halfway through the newspaper saying … “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $50.”
This 8 took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It
was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to 9 it and the lucky people
tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more 10 than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to
notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for
something else. They go to gatherings focused on finding their perfect partner and miss opportunities to
make good friends. They look through newspapers 11 to find certain types of job advertisements and
miss other types of 12 .
Lucky people are more 13 and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are
looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people create good fortune via four 14 . They
are skilled at creating and 15 chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition
(直觉), create self-fulfilling prophesies (预言) via positive expectations and adopt a “never say die”
attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
