In 1982, I was a young marketing person in a company in Mumbai. I had a very senior colleague named Paul, who taught me how to 36 marketing effectively and how to deal with life 37 . It was one of those 38 days…management, sales calls, planning my travel schedule, booking hotels, arranging appointments and the 39 was endless. By the end of the day, I was not only exhausted but was getting 40 . It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house to have a rest. We made our way to Paul’s house. Although 41 after a day’s hard work, I was excited to chat with Paul and 42 his rich experience in marketing. As we entered his house 43 the main door, Paul started singing his favourite song, I have a dream. I was in no 44 to listen to his song. I only wanted to hear about how he handled 45 sales calls. As I leaned over Paul’s shoulder to tell him that, two young girls walked up to Paul and hugged him. They couldn’t walk steadily, and neither could they talk 46 , but their faces were full of 47 and they also sang a song: No mummy’s kisses only daddy’s smiles; nobody wants us, and daddy hugs us tonight. I was watching what was going on, totally 48 in the beautiful singing, when Paul tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to sit down. 49 to know, I asked Paul who these girls were. To my 50 , Paul told me they were his daughters and they were born as “ 51 ____children” (mentally disabled). His wife died and he was both Mother and Father to them. I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was 52  in his personal life. He never looked for   53 from his friends and colleagues. On the contrary, he always helped us at the office. And being head of the Department, he always 54 us to move forward in life. Paul’s life has been a great 55 to me. If a man can smile through these troubles, nothing can prevent him from achieving success in work or life. 小题1: A．do B．reduce C．learn D．handle 小题2: A．calmly B．cheerfully C．hurriedly D．quickly 小题3: A．busy B．happy C．pleasant D．worrying 小题4: A．call B．event C．list D．order 小题5: A．disappointed B．excited C．refreshed D．annoyed 小题6: A．worried B．tired C．discouraged D．ashamed 小题7: A．share B．celebrate C．collect D．improve 小题8: A．for B．into C．through D．with 小题9: A．condition B．mood C．patience D．situation 小题10: A．grateful B．expensive C．unlucky D．troublesome 小题11: A．properly B．freely C．actively D．slowly 小题12: A．fear B．scars C．smiles D．tears 小题13: A．caught B．lost C．stuck D．trapped 小题14: A．Curious B．Keen C．Strange D．Stubborn 小题15: A．disappointed B．joy C．relief D．surprise 小题16: A．talented B．naughty C．special D．homeless 小题17: A．coming across B．going through C．dealing with D．putting on 小题18: A．sympathy B．opinions C．requirement D．friendship 小题19: A．allowed B．trained C．forced D．encouraged 小题20: A．confusion B．challenge C．inspiration D．impression
