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   1   side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to   2   in good health, or   3   about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to   4   damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text   5   the title. Therefore, the scissors(剪刀)would

   6   before they start,   7   halfway done when I find out the   8   result.

  Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your   9   . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be   10   up. But you know the future is unpredictable(不可预料)—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left   11   . Thus you are   12   in a difficult position and feel sad. How   13   that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   14   greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.

  In fact that is what   15   is like: we are often   16   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only   17   we get into another. The   18   may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I   19   remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual(不经意)  20   may not be a bad one.
