Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once 36 , such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “__37 ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I 38 him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) 39 divorce (离婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small 40 out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I 41 on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about 42 opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my 43 to remind me to look for those diamonds that I need.

I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it 46 !’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new 47 !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he 48 to keep his stone with him all the time as a 49 to look for “diamonds” as he digs through the 50 of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he 51 . “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. 52 moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that, 53 left unrecognized, will be forever lost.

More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very 31 , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for 32 , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted 33 . If he ever noticed or was 34 , he never showed that he knew.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine 35 - and because of that, we didn’t say much 36 we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our 37 walk was to or from the subway, which was 38 he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would 39 it to the office even if others could not. A matter of 40 .
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or 41 . What he looked for 42 others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the 43 was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 44 by which to judge people, even though I 45 don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. 46 I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he 47 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 48 . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling 49 to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to 50 my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
31.A. weak B. cautious C. short D. depressed
32.A. balance B. courage C. comfort D. strength

More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very 31 , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for 32 , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted 33 . If he ever noticed or was 34 , he never showed that he knew.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine 35 - and because of that, we didn’t say much 36 we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our 37 walk was to or from the subway, which was 38 he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would 39 it to the office even if others could not. A matter of 40 .
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or 41 . What he looked for 42 others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the 43 was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 44 by which to judge people, even though I 45 don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. 46 I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he 47 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 48 . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling 49 to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to 50 my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

They are anxious to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 40 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so early or late. To be interested in these things is silly because they are not important. It is none of their 41 to know what their neighbours do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also harmful. Most probably, it may 42 to small talk which often brings harm, shame or disrespect to 43 , and thus 44 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a noble (高尚的) curiosity — curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to find out all they 45 about them. Columbus would never have found America if he had not been 46 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 47 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 48 a result of curiosity, 49 the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 50 — or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.
