One day, not too long ago, the clerks of a large company in St. Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said, " 1 We invite you to attend the funeral (出席葬礼) in the room that has been prepared in the gym."
At first everyone was sorry to hear that one of their workmates had been dead. 2 The feeling grew as the clerks arrived at the gym to pay their last respect (尊重). Everyone wondered, "Who is this person that was stopping my progress? Well, at least he's no longer here!"
One by one the clerks got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. 3 It seemed as if something had touched the deepest part of their heart.
There was a mirror inside the coffin. Everyone who looked inside it could see himself or herself. 4 It said, "There is only one person who can have an influence on your growth: it is YOU."
5 It remains the same, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your boss changes and when your company changes. Your life changes only when you realize that you are the one who is responsible (有责任的) for your life.
A. We all wondered who the person was.
B. There was also a sign next to the mirror.
C. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence.
D. You are the only person who can change your life.
E. But after a while they started wondering who this person might be.
F. Yesterday the person who has been stopping your growth in this company passed away.

这是一道英语阅读填空题，考查的是对文章内容的理解和逻辑推理能力。需要从给出的选项中，选择最符合文章内容的句子填入空白处，使文章意思连贯。解题的关键在于理解文章的整体内容和上下文逻辑，以及准确识别每个选项的含义。
首先，通读全文，了解大意。文章描述了一家公司的职员在午餐后看到一则讣告，邀请他们参加在体育馆准备的葬礼。开始时，大家以为有同事去世，但后来发现棺材里有一面镜子，镜子旁的标牌上写着影响自己成长的人只有自己。
接下来，逐句分析空白处应填入的内容：
1. 第一空是讣告的内容，根据后文“Who is this person that was stopping my progress?”可以推断，此处应提到有人阻碍了他们的进步，且已经去世。选项F“Yesterday the person who has been stopping your growth in this company passed away.”符合语境。
2. 第二空描述了职员们到达体育馆后的心情变化，开始时感到难过，但随后开始好奇这个人是谁。选项E“But after a while they started wondering who this person might be.”符合这种心情转变。
3. 第三空描述了职员们看到棺材里的镜子后的反应，他们突然变得无言。选项C“They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence.”准确描述了他们的反应。
4. 第四空提到镜子旁还有一块标牌，上面写着影响自己成长的人只有自己。选项B“There was also a sign next to the mirror.”引出了标牌的内容。
5. 第五空是对全文的总结，强调了只有自己才能改变自己的生活。选项D“You are the only person who can change your life.”准确表达了这一主题。
