问题     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. "
选项
答案Become confident. ／Feel good about himself. ／Become uplifted.
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“Whenever l doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer. I would reread Don’s note and walk un air again. "可知，每当作者怀疑自己是否有能力成为作家，就会重读，从而变得自信。故答案为Become confident. ／Feel good about himself. ／Become uplifted.
