　　If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time, we would discover-in reviewing them-that the great majority of our 　　1　　 never come to pass．This means that most of the time we 　　2　　 to worrying, even the constructive(建设性的)kind that prompts us to try to try to come up with a 　　3　　 to what is troubling us, is wasted．　　4　　, we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain, but also 　　5　　 valuable minutes and hours that could have been spent elsewhere．

　　To 　　6　　 this, it is often necessary to subject(使……遭受)pltential 　　7　　 of worry to the coldly objective．Once, before a major 　　8　　 in front of a standing-room-only audience, a member off Arturo Toscanini’s orchestra approached(接近)the great Italian conductor with a terrible 　　9　　 on his face．“Maestro(大师), ”the musician said 　　10　　, “my instrument is not working 　　11　　．I cannot reach the 　　12　　 of E-flat．Whatever will I do? We are to 　　13　　 a few moments later．”

　　Toscanini looked with total 　　14　　 at the man．Then he 　　15　　 kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders．“My friend, ”the maestro replied, “do not worry about it．The note E-flat does not 　　16　　 anywhere in the music that you will be 　　17　　 this evening．”
