完型填空
On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was l that there was an envelope(信封)on my desk one morning. From the 2 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”
The note was 3 by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand(新手), his words made me 4 . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted 5 I had the ability to be a good editor(编辑) , I would read John’s note and become 6 again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to 7 young people in many fields. “When I make 8 feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.” 9 , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my 10 , many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is not 11 to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot 12 a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read 13 .
So, when you find some people around you need 14 , please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will 15 , but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
