One of my father’s favorite sayings as I was growing up was“Try it!”I couldn’t say I didn’t like 1 , whatever it might be, 2 I tried it．Over the years I’ve come to 3 how much of my success I owe to my 4 of those words as one of my values．My 5 job was just one I decided to try for a couple of years until I 6 what I want to do as a career(职业)．7 I believed I would work for a few years, get married, stay home and raise a family, so I didn’t think the job I took 8 that much．I couldn’t have been more 9 ．I mastered the skills of that beginning level position and I was given the opportunity(机会)to 10 through the company into different 11 ．I accepted each new opportunity with the 12 ,“Well, I’ll try it; if I don’t like it I can always go back to my 13 position．”But I was with the same company for the past 28 years, and I’ve 14 every career change I’ve made．I’ve discovered I 15 a large number of different talents(才能)and skills that I never would have thought were within me had it not been for my being 16 trying new opportunities．I’ve also discovered that if I 17 what I’m doing and work hard at achieving my 18 ．I will succeed．That’s why I’m so 19 to be a part of CareerFables．com．I think 20 has come and I am determined to make it a success．
This story took place in France during World War Ⅱ．At the edge of the forest lived a French girl named Marie．She spent her time looking 1 goats in the forest．
One day, she was sitting on a fallen tree, 2 she heard a voice from behind the bush．It said, “Don’t look around, but listen 3 ．You know the little window in the roof over your bed and hold your 4 lamp just under the window for ten minutes．And then put 5 the light and go to sleep．”
She did 6 the unseen man told her．She could hear a plane flying round and round 7 her cottage．“I’m helping the plane!” Marie said to 8 ．
At that time thousands of French people were 9 in the forests and mountains to resist the Germans．They were in need of food and weapons, which had to be 10 to them from planes coming from England．In this way, Marie carried out 11 ．
One morning Marie met the owner of the voice, a young French soldier．He sat near her and said, “Thank you, Marie, for what you have done．Tonight is very important．Things of great 12 will be dropped and the light must be shown at 3 o’clock in the morning．Can you keep 13 till then?” “I’ll not 14 ,” Marie answered．Night fell．Two 15 soldiers burst in, gun in hand．They searched the cottage and remained in her room and she was 16 to go outside．She sat still, wondering what she could do．She couldn’t stand on the bed to show the light．She remembered her 17 to the French soldier．The enemies were asleep．Just then she had an idea．Noiselessly she got out of the room and 18 fire to the hay．In a moment the cottage was burning．She ran 19 the forest．In the morning, the French soldier came．“You’ve done well, Marie,” he said, “You did not fail．The plane 20 us what we need．Your parents are safe．Come and join us．”
