I was working in a store three years ago. I remember one girl who started 36 there a few months after me. I remember always meeting her. I don’t know 37 but for a strange reason we would never talk. We would just see each other and smile.

It was morning when we arrived. We stepped out of the railway station, having sat in hard seats and not getting much 46 . However, we had energy. First we tried to get return tickets to shanghai, but the tickets seller 47 us that tickets would not be on 48 for another two days. We were a little worried about getting 49 , but we made up our minds to 50 for the hotel to put our bags down. After fighting our way 51 the “gypsy” taxi drivers that tried to 52 us one hundred yuan for the ride, we found a taxi and it 53 cost us thirty yuan to get 54 we had planned to go.

The most important lesson about China I ever 57 , is to get someone to do your work for you, and it seems to work out much 58 . We were not able to get tickets, but the 59 agents(代理人) could.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health，or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer 34，leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start， 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your 39．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be 39 up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind．Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 43 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．
In fact that is what 44 is like；we are often 45 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both 46 like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is 47 to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this 48 a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s 49：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不经意的） 50 may not be a bad one．
