On my first job as a sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise (MLE), I didn’t get a lot of fan mail, so my attention was caught by a letter on my desk one morning.
When I opened it, I read; "Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work. " It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager, his words couldn’t have been more inspiring. I kept it in my drawer until it got old. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don’s note and
walk on air
again.
Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging note to people in all walks of life. "When I made others feel good about themselves, " he told me, "I feel good, too. "
Over the years, I’ve tried to copy Don and write uplifting words, in a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth.
Why are positive note writers in such short supply? My guess is that people who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Thus, it may cause troubles and problems. And it sounds insincere on the phone. Also, writing takes time; it is far easier to pick up the phone.
The drawback of phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, savored and treasured, and they bring strength and love to us.
Today I sent a warm letter to my old boss. I don’t know if it will make his day, but it made mine. As my friend Don Wolfe said, "Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too. "
What does the underlined part "walk on air" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? (No more than 5 words)
选项
答案
Because they may be self-conscious,and writing may cause misunderstanding,and also take time.
解析
细节理解题。根据第五段第二至六句“My guess is that people who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Thus it may cause troubles and problems. And it sounds insincere on the phone. Also,writing takes time;it is far easier to pick up the phone. ”可知,他们不愿写信是因为他们可能会感到难为情,写作可能会引起误解,也花费时间。故答案为Because they may be self-conscious,and writing may cause misunderstanding,and also take time.
