题目内容
It's only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it "extremely embarrassing" in a companywide email—which1 ， he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what1did was something 2 in the company should ever do.
I wish I 3 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least,I wish I could explain it somehow― 4 it on youth,inexperience or ignorance. Unfortu?nately,I'm 5 ,experienced and I know better.
6 I work with some very kind and compassionate (富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 7 by my desk and offer comfort,encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 8 they have made. Evidently I'm not the only " 9 " person here.

As I expected,Lois didn't pass over the 13 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,14 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my 15 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets,she brought my selfpity partly to a(n) 16 .

I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those 20 words：It's over. It's done. Let it go. And mostly,move on.
