My trusty printer was busy producing an impo
12、rtant report _21_ it simply stopped. After fifteen minutes of trying to repair, I decided to buy a new printer. Upon my return, my heart froze to see my house on fire._22_ having spent much of my life writing, I was speechless when facing this situation. I was lost for adequate words _23_ (describe)
13、 the sick, sinking feeling of seeing my home, business, and belongings going up in flames along with photographs and memories _24_ (collect) over a lifetime. But the panic that filled my shocked heart in that awful moment was for the nine cats that shared my home after _25_ (rescue) from situations
14、of ill-treatment and abandonment.Responding to an early security-system warning, the amazing firefighters arrived immediately, _26_ the chemical smoke had already caused deaths. I examined and kissed each cat goodbye, extremely grateful that they had passed gently, without injuries or burns.Only ani
15、mal lovers really understand the unbelievable impact _27_ the loss of one beloved four-legged family member can have on your heart, mind and soul. The loss of so many dearly loved creatures sent me in great sorrow.After staying with a friend of mine for a couple of weeks, I was relocated to a furnis
16、hed apartment. One evening, about a month after moving in, I _28_ (occupy) in writing a mystery novel, and at that time a “meow” sounded from outside the apartment door. Was it my mind playing tricks again? More than once I had heard, seen or felt the brush of one of my departed furry roommates. The
17、 meow grew louder and more repetitive. Curious, I opened the door.Sitting on the doorstep was a kitten with a black coat and alert eyes. A neighbor _29_ (walk) by picked him up and began petting him. When I remarked how cute her kitten was, she explained that it had been born under a bridge and look
18、ed around for food. This kitty-loving neighbor was quick to offer an extra litter box if I was interested in giving him a home.

20、 passiveThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as a(n) _31_ result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learn
21、s a new language all these are examples of people who havemeasurable results to show for their efforts.By _32_, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the ro
22、ad itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as we _33_ new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends. There are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.In order to grow,
23、 to travel new roads, people need to have a _34_ to take risks. And we are supposed to be ready to face the _35_, and to accept the possibility that we may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we perceive ourselves as quick and cu
24、rious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think were _36_ and shy? Then our _37_ of shyness can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think were slow to adapt to change or that w
25、ere not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? If so, then we are likely to take a more _38_ role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. We will _39_ to grow, if we do not confront and overcome these internal
26、 fears and doubts, and if we protect ourselves too much. We become _40_ inside a shell of our own making.六、完形填空To Apologize or Not to ApologizeWhy difficult?When we do wrong to someone we know, even not _41_, we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation. But when were acting
27、 as leaders, the circumstances are _42_. The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the _43_ but also at the level of the institution. It is a performance in which every word or expression _44_, as they become part of the public record. Refusing to apologize can be smart, or it can
28、 be stupid. So, readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness.Why now?The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more _45_. During the last decade or so, the United States in particular has developed an apology cultureapologie
29、s of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more _46_ than before. More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of _47_ apologies. Meanwhile, more and more articles, advice columns, and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of _48_ a
30、pologies. Although they are not carried out in the public places, we cant neglect the importance of this performance.Why _49_?Why do we apologize? Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult, embarrassing, and even risky? Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target f
31、or _50_. They are expected to appear strong and capable. And whenever they make public statements of any kind, their individual and institutional reputations are in danger. Clearly, then, leaders should not apologize often. For a leader to express apology, there needs to be a strong _51_. Leaders wi
32、ll publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so.Why refuse?Why is it that leaders so often try every means to _52_ apologies, even when a public apology seems to be in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders
33、 are public figures, their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even _53_ risky. Apologies can be signals for admitting mistakes and mistakes can be an indication of job insecurity. Leaders may also be afraid that _54_ of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which
34、 they are responsible. There can be good reasons for hanging tough (硬撑) in tough situations, as we shall see, but it is a high-risk _55_.41AimmediatelyBintentionallyCoccasionallyDaccidentally42AsimpleBridiculousCabnormalDdifferent43AindividualBcompanyCfamilyDsociety44AconflictsBmattersCappealsDdecei

37、e.At first thought, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesnt do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web s
38、ites. They rarely check it, though.Todays instant electronic memos such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation (称呼语) and the signoff (签收); we already know the “to” and “from.” Many corporations are moving to mes
39、saging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily-read message that
40、you can read and respond to on the go.The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant written messages bring great convince to people. They can deal with them at about any time: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these messages are very brief, th
41、eyre suitable for smart phonetyping.Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeral you read them, then theyre gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like somethi
42、ng you have and that you can file, search and return to later. Its easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.So, e-mail wont go away completely. Remember, weve been through a transition (过度) like this not
43、 so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. Thats not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller market, and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old one completely; it just adds new alternatives.56What would the incoming generation like to do with th
