8、意：就未来而言，做正确的决定可能是我们一生中做的最重要的事。分析句子可知，句子的谓语是is，第一处空白应该是make the right decision（做决定）充当主语，所以要用动名词形式；第二空应是concerning做介词，意为“关于；就.而言”。故选D。【点睛】动名词作主语，在动词的基础上加ing，使该动词或动词短语有名词的各种特征，可作名词灵活使用。此题考的是动名词做主语。还会出现动名词做主语时，用 it 作先行主语，多见于某些形容词及名词之后。例如：It is no use telling him not to worry常见的能用于这种结构的形容词还有：better，wonde
