Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 31 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find 32 work.
I was 33 a school bus to make ends meet（使收支相抵）and 34 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 35 five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 36 the job. “Why has my life become so 37 ?” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to 38 a little girl, she handed me an earring 39 I should keep it 40 somebody claimed it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it 41 me -- I had been giving all of my 42 to what was going wrong with my 43 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 44 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to 45 more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 46 from a lady who was a director at a larger 47 . She asked me if I would 48 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My 49 there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of 50 that I completely changed my life.

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, 31 the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their 32 exam — then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of 33 they would get. With the certainty of four years of 34 , they felt ready and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 35 task. The professor had said they could 36 their books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 37 each other, during the test.
38 they entered the classroom. The professor handed 39 the papers. And smiles appeared on the students’ faces as they noted there were only five essay-type questions.
Three hours had passed 40 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the 41 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 42 a hand was raised.“How many answered four?” Still no hands.“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“ One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.”But the class remained 43 .
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly 44 I expected,” he said. “I just want you to learn that, 45 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 46 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t 47 are relatively valuable in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all 48 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 49 .”
The years have weakened the name of this professor, 50 not the lesson he taught.

Some Internet users want 37 just someone to chat with. They’re looking for 38 love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That 39 depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually 40 . Others fail miserably.
Unlike the real world, 41 , your knowledge about a person is 42 to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they 43 are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “ 44 ” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really 45 when you’re in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. 46 else can so many people come together to chat?
47 of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
But critics of online relationships 48 that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully chosse their words to 49 whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal (不用语言表达的)” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine 50 the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not 51 a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many 52 . it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This surely 53 disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.
So, 54 looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, “Life in the 55 world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
