It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can't imagine we will do without him when he's gone.
Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill's leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.
As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

The teacher must be 36 . “Yes, you will all be searching for your future 37 . Each of you will have to 38 someone in your field, and give an oral (口头的) report.”
Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I 39 print journalism. This meant I had to go to interview a newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 40 able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?” I shook my head. “How about some 41 ?” I shook my head again.

Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I 45 Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't 46 me. They just reminded me how 47 the field was and how I had run away from competition all my life. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my 48 .

“Well, you see, there was this teacher…” I always start out. I just wish I could 55 her.
