Joseph Henry was an American scientist who served as the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. He used to tell a rather 26 story about his childhood. His grandmother, who 27 him, once paid a cobbler(修鞋匠)to make him a pair of 28 .
The man measured his 29 and told Joseph that he could choose between two 30 : a rounded toe or a square toe. Little Joseph couldn’t 31 . It seemed to be such a huge decision; 32 , it would become his only pair of shoes for a long time.

I learn a 42 here about decisions: If I don’t make decisions myself, others will 43 make them for me. Better than I make them myself.
And if I choose 44 from time to time, that’s okay, too. At least I won’t have to 45 shoes that don’t match. Besides, I’ll probably do better the next time.
