完形填空20
I am a team leader in an insurance company. We are going through a lot of changes right now, which is
36
much stress for all of us.
A few weeks ago I was having a day so
37
that I even doubted if I had the ability to do this challenging work, and was about ready to change to a less stressful job
38
. Something happened that day to change my way of
39
and I am so appreciative of this young lady. I want to let her know that the small act
40
.
On the top of my cubicle (工作隔间) I have a small collection of lighthouses (灯塔) to let people know where I am sitting
41
my team members have to find me for emergencies.
That day I came into the office and was about to get the day
42
when Crystal came over. l asked if she needed anything. She said, "I
43
you something. " I looked at her with a
44
look and said, "Well, thank you, but why
45
you buy me anything?" I had never spoke to this young lady
_46
. She said, "Every day I stand up and look across the
47
and see your lighthouses. Then I feel I am not alone and I encourage myself that there are always
48
things in life. I saw this on the way to work and thought
49
would like it. I wish it would have the same
50
as your Lighthouses do. " In her hand she had a small globe with a Lighthouse and a ship on it. I gave her a hug and
51
her. I don't think she knows how much that small act of
52
changed my day: 1 remained
53
the rest of the day.
For anyone that reads this, I hope you remember, no matter what the
54
is, you could change
someone's day,
55
even his views on life.

You've probably heard the expression, "What you see is what you get." My grandfather used to say. "If you 41 a tree long enough, it will move." We see 42 we want to see. Psychologists tell us that 43 controls our life more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the 44 . We are what we think we are. If you don't think you'll be successful, you 45 . You can't be it if you can't see it. Your life is 46 to your vision. If you want to change your 47 , you must change your vision of life.
