In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an 44 person –“Go out in the sticks（偏远地区） and find a small station that will give you a 45 ,” she said.
I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. 46 there was no radio—announcing job in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to 47 its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football. I 48 . The job 49 just right for me. But I wasn’t hired.
My disappointment must have 50 . “Everything happens for the best,” Mom 51 me. Dad offered me the car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration 52 . I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the elevator 53 I heard MacAethur calling, “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to stand before a microphone and to broadcast a (an) 54 game.
On my way home, once again I thought of my mother’s words. I often wonder what 55 my life might have taken if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive . Some experts say the 21 is to make jobs more varied . But do more varied jobs 22 greater productivity ?There is evidence to suggest that 23 variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable , it doesn’t 24 make him work harder .

Some car factories are now 33 with having many small production lines rather than one large one , so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his 34 . It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor 35 it is one we can do something about .

But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring , 38 just lets them enjoy their spare time more . A 39 argument may explain demands for shorter working hours . Perhaps if we 40 making their jobs more interesting , they will neither want more money , nor will shorter working hours be so important to the .
