Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.

Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would 49 him the way to the Sunlight Building.

However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and 52 him in the crowd behind me 53 I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting. Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the 54 man who had asked for directions to my office and his 55 when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40.. The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.
You were 43 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own 45 .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 49 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 50 knew more than I did, and so I 51 too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 54 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to 55 and to life.
A.easy B.ready C.unwilling D.hard
A.lead B.lend C.take D.earn
A.look at B.pick up C.turn to D.learn from

As I was driving out of the store parking lot, they crossed in front of me.My first reaction was filled with 36 at being delayed for a whole ten seconds.But I quickly became 37 when I realized that it was an elderly 38 .
The man leaned on his 39 who walked in front of him.He not only used her for 40 but it was obvious that he was blind.The two of them _41 as one—each needing the other to 42 in this fast-changing world.
That little example of true strength 43 my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day.Suddenly I wasn’t so 44 having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays.I had my 45 ,and I was still 46 young.
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严) and strength 47 me the entire week.My 48 wasn’t so bad after all.I had my health and a good job.I had a wonderful, 49 wife.I started to think—not only was I 50 to have these all, but so was that wonderful old couple,who,_51 the trials and sufferings of a long life,still had the love and support of each other to 52 them through this world.
There are so many people out there just like that couple.My wife and I sometimes 53 ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset.

When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get acquainted with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very 36 because of this.
But a girl with dark skin and ling shiny hair changed me. Here best characteristics are her openness and 37 . She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. without doubt I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I 38 became a happy girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone back to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt 39 and helpless and I was afraid that I would 40 her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me :“Rain, you can achiever more than I do, so 1 to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great 42 she was to me at that time.
However, it turned out that my concerns were well-founded(有根据的). I felt that the 43 between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.
I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I 44 her several times intending to tell her to think easefully about her relationship with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not 45 . I had almost given up hope until she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked 46 but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said: “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ignoring the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.
Now I firmly believer that distance and time can’t 47 you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.
