When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the 36 side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to 37 in good health, or 38 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 39 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 40 the title.Therefore, the scissors would 41 before they start, 42 halfway done when I find out the 43 result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 44 .You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be 45 up.
But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 46 .Thus you are 47 in a difficult position and feel sad.How 48 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 49 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 50 is like: we are often 51 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only 52 we get into another.The 53 may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind.I 54 remember a philosopher's remarks: "When one door shuts, another opens in life." So a casual 55 may not be a bad one.

Fatimah Bamun dropped out of Balizenda Primary School in the first grade, when her father refused to buy her pencils and paper. Only after her teachers said to him that his daughter showed unusual promise(有希望) did he change his mind. Today, Fatimah, 14, tall and slender, studies math in a dirt-floored fourth-grade classroom.
Whether she will reach the fifth grade is another matter. Fatimah is facing the realities of a school with no toilet, no water, no hope of privacy (隐私) other than the shadow of a bush, and no girlfriends with whom to share feelings. Fatimah is the only girl of the 23 students in her class. In fact, in a school of 178 students, she is one of the only three girls who have made it past the third grade.
“I have no friend in the class,” she said. “Most of my friends have dropped out to get married. So during the break, I just sit in the classroom and read.”
Her father, however, now says he is fully behind her. “The people from the government are all the time telling us to send our daughters to school, and I am listening to these people,” he said.
But in many cases, parents don’t listen. Parents think that if the girls stay home, they can help with the harvesting, fetch the water and collect the firewood. So they take them out of school.
In a region where poverty, tradition and ignorance make about 24 million girls not even have an elementary school education. There are many other barriers (障碍) that prevent girls going to school, such as the lack of school toilets and water.
The issue is not only equality. The World Bank thinks that if women in sub-Saharan Africa had equal education, land and other wealth, the region’s economy could improve greatly. There is a connection between growth in Africa and sex equality. It is of great importance but still ignored by so many people.
