　　42

　　if Maureen had tried to. In the eyes of the other co-workers Betty was always cheerful,

　　43

　　and ambitious, while Maureen was low-key (低调的) and easy-going.

　　of someone else’s fault. You just give up trying to find real

　　57

　　. Dealing with resentment needs awareness and

　　. First of all, you need to

　　59

　　you are feeling resentful and then try to stop yourself feeling upset. Only in this way can you solve the

　　in your life.
