完形填空
It wasn’t yet 8:30 am. However, instead of entering my office, I was leaving it. Carrying a plastic shopping bag of my personal things, I moved in a(n)       way to my car, and drove home crying. I had just been       .
For following weeks, I was troubled by the       of that sudden lay-off: What about the people who would be        by my abandoned projects? Would I have a chance to get another job?        with anxiety, shame and sudden outbursts of tears, I felt completely      . “What should I do next?” I asked myself.
One day, over dinner with my good friend Sophia in a restaurant, I told her about my     , “Being fired came as a       . I am not a bad person. I don’t know        it happened to me. In fact, I was so hard-working and        to my company”. After listening to my words, she        me, “Never be so depressed. Being fired isn’t the same thing as being bad. There are lots of       that we cannot escape in life, and we have to face them      and find solutions. I think you should make some changes to help you        this issue. Unemployment just means a new start.” Her words gave me a lot of confidence and strength, which        me to take action to change the bad situation. I had a firm belief that everything would hopefully        fine.
Then a long journey of applying for new jobs began. In addition, I made a decision — starting to        the people who helped me either with the emotional support of my unemployment or in my search for a new job. I would send each of them a thank-you card. Sophia had helped me a lot, and she got my first card.
Expressing gratitude is the best thing that I have done to        my negative thoughts and move forward. Fortunately, I have got a(n)        job that fits my skills and interests. No matter what happens in the future, I will        this wonderful decision and show more people my thanks.
