I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no 41 in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to 42 . Although we lived “in”, 43 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The 44 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 45 class. The new ones always went wild 46 , but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like _47 ; never did we have to 48_ “ stand up”, “ sit down”, “ speak out”. I don’t 49 one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in the ___50_____ school, but what a difference in the method! For example, in botany (植物学) we had 51__ classes in the spring or fall, but instead we planted two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 52 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different sizes of storerooms---small ones 53 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 54 time, too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints(蓝图;设计图), figuring out the angles and so on. I didn’t take 55__ . But I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s 56 .
57_ I think I am a 58 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I think better. That’s probably a real big ___59 between the free school and the regular school--- the amount of 60 .

If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time,we would discover—in reviewing them—that the great majority of our 16 never come to pass. This means that most of the time we 17 to worrying,even the constructive(建设性的)kind that prompts us to try to come up with a 18 to what is troubling us,is wasted. 19 ,we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain,but also 20 valuable minutes and hours that could have been spent elsewhere.
To 21 this,it is often necessary to subject(使……遭受)potential 22 of worry to the coldly objective. Once,before a major 23 in front of a standing-room-only audience,a member of Arturo Toscanini’s orchestra approached(接近)the great Italian conductor with a terrible 24 on his face.“Maestro(大师),”the musician said 25 ,“my instrument is not working 26 .I cannot reach the 27 of E-flat.Whatever will I do?We are to 28 a few moments later.”
Toscanini looked with total 29 at the man.Then he 30 kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders.“My friend,”the maestro replied,“do not worry about it.The note E-flat does not 31 anywhere in the music that you will be 32 this evening.”
The next time we find ourselves in the middle of 33 about some matter,we might be wise to 34 and ask ourselves what the odds(几率)are of the problem really coming to 35 .We may be able to go on to something more constructive.

My father woke me 31 early in summer morning when I was fourteen and announced: “ Get up. You’re going to with me to cut the grass.”
The idea 32 my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and 33 (excite). From sunup to sundown my father, my young brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was tired out, 34 I felt good. I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned $6.
One day my father found some leaves I’d missed and pull me aside. “Clear away these 35 , ”he said firmly , “ and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time. It will never fail to impress the person you are working 36 .
After two years my father told my brother and me that he felt that we were old enough to do lawns on our 37 . Every Saturday during our last two years of high school, we set out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while 38 (work) under our father.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was 39 than I had before.
In every job I’ve held-from dong lawns to 40 dishes-I have learned something that helped me in my next job. If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
