15.I wandered into the small store where I usually buy milk,when the store owner received a call from a customer.The customer and his wife had shopped there several months earlier.He noticed that his wife really liked one thing in the store,so he wanted to buy it as a surprise.But the customer was in Tennessee,far away from the store which was in Maine.What's more,he had been to the store several months earlier,and it was difficult to believe that the store owner would remember him,or what he was looking for.
The store owner took a few close-up photos with her camera,and e-mailed them to the customer on the computer.The customer looked at the photos,decided which one he wanted.They talked and discussed a price over the phone.She took care of the credit card transaction (交易) online,and promised the gift would be shipped out that afternoon.
The store owner was really smart.She was willing to push herself to find new ways to make the transaction actually happen.And it did work.However,it was the first time she had ever done it.
I was amazed that the store owner discovered a creative solution that could lead to a new way of doing business.I was impressed by what she did-so easily,but how difficult it is for many of us to make that leap(飞跃,跳跃).I'm not just talking about technology,but about learning how to adapt to change.Most people hate or fear change unless they get to know exactly what change needs to be made.However,we should realize that challenge and opportunity go hand in hand.

One day we had a serious fight.I saw my father as (42)B me and wanted to break free.(43)A,he regarded me as disobedient and tried hard to keep his (44)C on me.We both exploded in (45)B.The situation was so unbearable that I (46)A out of the house and took the bus to school.My mind raced with (47)B thoughts about my father,feeling certain that no one in the world had ever had such a terrible father!
"I am the son of an IDIOT!How dare he interrupt my life and plans!"I wrote these words on a thought card,which served as a communication(48)D as well as the admission ticket to the literature class of Dr.Simon,a unique excellent teacher with (49)C teaching methods.Being ten minutes late,I (50)D handed it to him and dashed into the classroom.
The next day,his comment on the (51)A card struck me as if someone had punched me in the stomach.It read,"Why not stop blaming and be responsible for yourself?"No one had (52)B me to do so!
The (53)D kept coming up over the next few weeks.As I again heard myself blaming my father for this or that,I asked myself,"How long can you (54)A blaming others for YOUR life?"
Gradually,my thinking(55)B.It took over a year (56)C people began to notice that I was taking responsibility for my own actions and feelings.
I was amazed at improvement of my grades and the (57)D of number and quality of my friends.It was (58)C astonishing how much smarter my father seemed.Fights with my father became less and finally disappeared for I learned to think of him as a loving man with good (59)A,who just had no smooth ways to (60)D me.

It seems to me that people,especially men,find it(43)Abecause it is an aggressive sport.When they watch a boxing match,they can(44)C the winning boxer,and this gives them the feeling of being a (45)A themselves.It is a fact that many people have feeling of aggression from time to time,but they cannot show their(46)Bin their everyday lives.Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.
However,there is a(47)Dside to boxing.It can be a very dangerous sport.Although boxers wear gloves during the fights,and amateur boxers(48)Chave to wear helmets,there have frequently been accident in both professional and amateur boxing,sometimes with (49)Aconsequences.Boxers have suffered from head injuries,and occasionally,fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the(50)B.Furthermore,studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing,in the form of serious brain(51)C,even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
I am personally not at all in(52)Aof aggressive sports like boxing.I think it would be better if less time was(53)Cto aggressive sports on TV,and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society.I believe that the world is aggressive enough already!Of course,people like (54)Asports,and so do I,but I think that(55)Dother people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.
