I 39 .How would I,unable to speak the language and totally 40 with local geography or transportation systems, 41 interviews and do research? It seemed 42 ,and with much regret I sat down to write a letter begging 43 .Halfway through,a thought ran through my mind:you can’t learn if you don’t 44 .So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad news. But by the time I had 45 the trip I was an experienced 46 .And ever since,I have never hesitated to 47 for even the most remote places,without guides or even 48 bookings,confident that somehow I will 49 .
The point is that the new,the 50 ,is almost by definition scary.But each time you try 51 ,you learn,and as the learning piles up,the world 52 to you.
I’ve 53 to ski at 40,and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon.And I know I’ll go on doing such things.It’s not because I’m 54 or more daring than others. I’m not. But I’ll accept anxiety as another name for 55 and I believe I can accomplish wonders.

“This Friday we'll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge,” said our science teacher, Mr. Baker. “You can work alone or with a partner.”
My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects 36 .
The 37 of the challenge was simple—to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when 38 the stadium wall.

“Then I’ll build mine and you build yours!”
45 words had been out, our friendship was challenged.
When Friday finally arrived, I had to 46 Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good. 47, my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn't look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose eggs survived 48 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.
After four rounds, only Cassie and I were 49 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the 50 . The sidewalk was dotted with egg shells(蛋壳) from those 51 drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.
“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura,” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 52 raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket. 53 .
“My egg bounced (弹起) 54 ,” she explained, pointing to a broken shell.
