完形填空

Albert Einstein said, "In the middle of every difficulty lies op?portunity."Once discovered,such opportunities are like valuable dia?monds 1       in the sand.

Several years ago I 2        at church about how we are surroun?ded by "diamonds" , 3        we could recognize them. A man stopped by to see me. I4      him as somebody who had suffered through a painful divorce and was exam?ining his life's priorities (最重要的事) .I saw his hand containing a small,plastic precious 5       .

"I stepped on this precious stone when I was leaving 6        last Sunday," he explained.

  "It found its 7        in the sole (鞋底) of my shoe. You had talked about recog?nizing 8       一diamonds. I put the plastic stone in my pocket to remind me to look for those diamonds that I 9      .”

 "I have been trying to sgll my business," he 10       . "On Monday morning,a man stopped by who seemed 11        in purchasing some of my stock (库存) .I thought,here's my 12       . Don't let it get away!I sold the entire stock to him by noon."

"Now," he said with a 13       ,"my next diamond is to find a new job!"Soon afterwards,he did find a new and better job. He was 14        to keep his gem stone with him from then on as a 15       to look for diamonds as he digs through the difficulties of life.

  Richard DeVos is 16        when he points out, "This is an exciting world. It is 17        with opportunities. Great moments wait around every corner."

Those 18       are diamonds that,if left unrecognized,will be 19        lost.

  Are you looking for diamonds every day? If not,you may 20        pass them by!Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in that difficulty you're expe?riencing now.
