Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s          filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so           that I decided to write an article about her.
I        ___ Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She          and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I          I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there       , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that          Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The        was almost unbearable. I struggled for days          draft(草稿) after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript         . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I          in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t         the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While          my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in       _ .
Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some         materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to         your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to         . Fear of rejection cost me greatly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of          writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this          , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t          to doubt yourself.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some   36    it highly, believing that it is   37   for social progress and prosperity. Others say that   38  is bad, that it sets one person against another; that it   39   unfriendly relationship between people.

During the years of depression(萧条), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.
One day I was   36   some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily   37   a full basket of   38   green peas. Then I was 39   to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas   for just a marble (弹球).
Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby,    40   and told me that Mr Miller loved to trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things 41   he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself,   42   by this man.
Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬礼), 43   three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on,   44   their eyes.
Our 45   came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned 46   she had told me about the 47 . She told me,“Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me   48 they appreciated the things Jim‘traded’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”
“We’ve 49   had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she added, “but right now, Jim would consider himself to be the 50   man.”
Then she gently lifted the   51   fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.
At that time I realized that we would not be 52    by our words, but by our kind 53 . It is said that it takes a minute to find a    54  person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to 55   him.

Human Relations
----- By Marion Williams
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and you can imagine how excited they were. Certainly the boy was   1   as the apple of their eyes.
One morning, the husband saw a medicine bottle   2  ．As he was late for work, he asked his wife to cap the bottle and ___3____. The mother, who was busy in the kitchen,   4    the matter.

When the child showed   signs of poisoning, the mother took him to the hospital,  8  he died. The mother was stunned（使昏迷）.She was too   9    to face her husband. When the   10   father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he   11   his wife and uttered just four words.
