When I got back out into the street, the 32 seemed brand-new to me. He was 33 out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny 34 from who-knows-where and, 35 , his pride in his craft， 36 me deeply.
This is a time when nothing is important but the 37 line, when you can do things any way as long as it 38 , when, in short, people look on work as a path to making money 39 a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare 40 to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.

“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very 16 and think the world is laughing at you. But in fact, five minutes later, they have 17 it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the 18 .

I used to be a(n) 24 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 25 when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell
