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．”

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．
