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   21   side is much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to   22   in good health，or advice about how to behave and   23    yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer   24   ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text    25    the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start，    26   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   27    result．

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your   28    ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be   29   up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   30   you to do what is left behind．Thus you are   31    in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice    32  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   33   greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．

In fact that is what   34   is like；we are often   35   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  36    like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is   37   to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this   38  _ a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s   39  ：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不经意的）    40    may reward one．
