塘桥高级中学高三读写练习二----By wiseman 一、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles. During his talk, Jack 36 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?” 37 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 38 . But I jumped up, ran up the 39 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts 40 through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people?
