Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 36 up his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his ___ 37 expensive “school” fee. He always owes his success to it.

Glen was amazed, 47 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be 48 strictly. For many times of entry-exit 49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked out every thing carefully in the box, and warned him no matter
50 time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 51 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的) goods, he would be charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after 52 the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 53 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 54 , which he would 55 as the secret of his success forever.
