In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory _______course about 20 years ago.

The professor _______the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans (豆), and invited the students to guess how many beans the jar contained. After _______shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the _______answer, and went on saying, “You have just _______an important lesson about science. That is: Never trust your own senses.”

Twenty years later, the _______could guess what the professor had in mind. He _______himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting _______into an unknown world invisible (无形的) to the eye, which can be discovered only through scientific _______. But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even hear the invitation. She was just ________to understand the world. And she ________that her first­hand experience could be the truth. The professor, however, said that it was ________. He was taking away her only ________for knowing and was providing her with no substitute. “I remember feeling small and ________,” the woman says, “and I did the only thing I could do. I ________the course that afternoon, and I haven’t gone near science since.”

When I was 22 years old I experienced a neighbor's deep and warm heart. I felt extremely_______ after the loss of a long-term relationship. By summertime my_______, whom everyone knew and liked, came to my house and_______ me to tea at her home that evening. That night she_______ a beautiful tea set(茶具). She looked so_______ at me and told me she would_______ her story. She came to America because she had_______ her family who she had loved deeply, and she was so sad that she needed to move to other_______. She told me, over that cup of tea, her_______ and sorrow, and that I needed to make a detailed________ about how to go forward! We________ at 2:00 a. m.! What a (n)________ and unforgettable cup of tea!

When I was 38 years old I was________ English in Japan. One young woman wanted to say “thank you” in a special________ when her lessons were completed. On the day of her last________ she brought her tea set. She quietly________ herself at my coffee table, poured green tea powder into a bow,________ hot water, whisked(搅动) it gently with a tea whisk, and then placed some tiny pieces of gold leaf on top! At last, she________ held it out to me to drink with both hands, smiling sweetly. I was________ at the beauty of her gift and at her warm________, because it was so much more than a bowl of tea!

Brenegan McNulty is a server at Yellowknife’ s Nova Hotel restaurant. She says that her weekend _______ has fallen into a wild and uncontrolled _______ since they were a little short-handed for the evening.

When a group of ten women entered the restaurant looking for a table, _______, McNulty was still ready to_______them with a smile.

As she _______the table, McNulty assumed that the women were _______a birthday since they had been passing around a _______ for all of them to sign.

To her _______, the woman finished _______ the card only to hand it over to her. Furthermore, she opened up the card and found that it ________ $ 1,100 in cash.

When McNulty asked them why they had surprised her with such a ________ gift, they simply said that they had selected her as a random ________ for a random restaurant.

“They wanted to do something ________ for someone who was working hard during the ________ season,” she recalled to CBC. “That’ s something you hear about ________ on The Ellen Show, you know, not here in Yellowknife. ”

Since McNulty works two jobs to ________ her one-year-old son, she says the ________ is a much- appreciated financial aid she has received ________for the New Year.

“It could ________ a new stroller (婴儿手推车) for him, food, or saving for rent for my own place in the New Year,” McNulty told the reporter. “ ________ working seven days a week, going to work and having something great like this happen makes it all worth it. I felt like I won some sort of lottery. I don’t know how I got so lucky.
