One winter morning I bought a copy of the New York World and turned its pages until I got the “Help Wanted Unskilled” section．A small advertisement held my 36 .It read, “Easy job．Good wages．No experience 37 .” It sounded like the job I was 38 ．Easy job．Good wages．Those four words 39 now and then in my brain as I was traveling to the address indicated in the 40 ．Easy job．Good wages．Easy job．Good wages．Easy ...
When I got to the place I saw a series of large 41 half filled with water, out of which I noticed 42 the necks of many bottles of various sizes and shapes． 43 these basins there were a number of workers sitting on small wooden benches．All had their 44 in the water of the basin, the left hand holding a 45 and the thumb nail of the right hand scratching（刮;擦） the labels on 46 .
I sat down on a 47 beside one of the basins and started to work on one bottle．As the minutes went by I noticed that the 48 of the water started to 49 from my hand to my body．But 50 still, the delicate thumb of my right hand was 51 by the minute into a full blown tomato colored finger．A numb（麻木的）pain began to be felt 52 from my right thumb．Then I began to feel as if the pain was coming from a finger bigger than all my body.
After three hours of this I told the manager I’d 53 .He figured I had 54 69 cents at 23 cents an hour．With the money, I left the working place．“Easy job．Good wages.” came to my brain again．Looking at my hands, I 55 myself, “Can easy job get good wages？”

Surfing: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore
If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would : surfing. But isn't that a boy thing? Some people . Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my , there's nothing like it. It involves body, , and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that , becoming one with the , is like I'm weightless.
The one thing I can from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the "best surfer" because the ocean an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive and . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it from any other sport.
I've to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new , so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start the limits of things boys and men used to dominate（主宰）？
There're women side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to , and they will.

My mother and I started our morning by rushing into the local grocery store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while she around to pick up a few things.
As I was there I noticed an elderly woman, wearing layers (层) layers of old torn clothing, moving behind me in line.
She had a few toiletries(化妆品)and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to since our queue was shorter than the grocery store queues were.
At some point I became of her moving closer behind me –it was than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地) a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild about this homeless woman who might try to from me.
Then it was my to order. As the cashier rang up my total I discovered I was 37 cents . I called to my mother but she is hard of hearing. She asked me to what I said but she still couldn't me out.
At that point, a long grey arm, with in its sleeves, over from behind me. She laid 37 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here, We all need some sometimes."
I was ! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to and in great need herself. I had judged her and she had reached out, voluntarily, to help me!
What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about others. Thank You, God!!

Each morning during fifteen- minute bath, I determined to cultivate a big, happy smile. I found out it had to be an honest-to-goodness smile from down deep , an outward expression of happiness from within!
Let’s see how the smile muscles me during the day. I would think of the things I had to be for, work up a big smile and then enter. It people when I passed them on the street to give them a smile. Give every living soul you meet the best smile you have smiled in your life, and see how much better you feel and look. It’s one of the best ways to worrying, and start living. When I began to do this, I found I became more welcome everywhere.

A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. , before we took off, we heard the pilot’s voice throughout the plane, “sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to the engines with it. We will in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”
See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to ！” There were sighs of desperation and spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn’t even yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are , so we are. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”
There was crying we had walked into grave. But, the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone for still being alive.
Although I do sincerely like to have a plan “see what happens”, which really isn’t such a bad life strategy, all too often, I would see people pursuing their goals with inaction just because they don’t have success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens.
If you are planning to learn a new skill, get up in the air, and see what happens! It might not be as as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no of guaranteed success.
