13．Face adversity（逆境）with a smile
I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route．He replied，"You mean（41）B．"He explained that I should be glad of the（42）Cexercise that the hill provided．

I returned home to Dixon，Illinois．While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon，my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a （43）Cathlete to manage its sports department．Since Dixon was where I had played high school football，I（44）D．The job sounded just （45）A  for me．But I wasn't（46）C．
My（47）B  must have shown．"Everything happens for the best，"Mom （48）D me．Dad  （49）A me the car to job hunt．I tried WOC Radio in Davenport，Iowa．The program director，a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur，told me they had already hired an announcer．
As I left his office，I felt extremely （50）A．I asked（51）B，"How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station？"
I was waiting for the elevator （52）D   I heard MacArthur calling，"What was that you said about sports？Do you know anything about football？"Then he stood me（53）C a microphone （麥克風） and asked me to broadcast an（54）A
On my way home，as I have many times since，I thought of my mother's words："Keep on trying until some day you succeed．Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous failure．"I often wonder what（55）B my life might have taken if I'd got the job at Montgomery．

6．It was my first day to Miss Hargrove's seventh grade．Past"newcomer"experiences had been difficult，so I was very （31）A to fit in．After being introduced to the class，I bravely put on a smile and took my seat．
Lunchtime was a pleasant surprise when the girls all crowded around my table．They were friendly，so I began to （32）C．My new classmates told me about the school，the teachers and the other kids．They （33）B out the class nerd （書呆子） to me：Mary Lou．She was a pretty girl with dark eyes and olive-skin，（34）D she wore a long woolen skirt and an old-fashioned blouse．She looked stupid．The girls whispered and laughed（35）A Mary Lou walked by．She ate alone．
After school，the girls invited me to （36）D them in front of the school．I was excited to be a（n）（37）B of the club．We waited．For what，I didn't know．Then Mary Lou came down．The girls started making （38）A of her，shouting rudely．I paused（暫停），then joined right in．Dirty words fell out of my （39）C．No one could （40）A I'd never done this before．The other girls stepped back and started cheering for me．Feeling （41）C，I pulled on her backpack and then pushed her．Her backpack broke，Mary Lou fell and I backed off．Everyone was laughing．I（42）Din．I was a leader．
I was not proud．Something inside me （43）B．If you've ever picked a wing off a butterfly，you know how I felt．
Mary Lou got up，（44）C her books and left without a tear or saying anything．She held her head （45）D as blood ran down from her knee．I （46）A her limp（跛行） away down the street．
I turned to leave with my （47）B friends and noticed a man standing beside his car．He must have been Mary Lou's father---he had the same olive skin，dark hair and handsome look．He remained still and watched the （48）C girl walk toward him．Only his eyes---shining with both sadness and pride---followed．As I passed，he looked at me in （49）D with burning tears that reminded me of my shame．
Mary Lou's father's eyes taught me a good lesson that day．I never again hurt someone for my own （50）B．
