四、完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）
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 26 that there was an envelope on my desk one
morning. From the 27 , 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 28 by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand,
his words made me 29 . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I
doubted 30 I had the ability to be a good editor, I would read John’s note and
become 31 again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often
wrote notes to 32 young people in many fields. “When I make 33 feel
happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”
34 , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my 35 , many
people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time
and it is 36 to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they
cannot 37 a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be
read 38 .
So, when you find some people around you need 39 , please write a note of
encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will
40 , but remember Mr. John’s words--making others feel happy makes you happy,
too.
