Of course, this story did not satisfy a police officer like myself, and I 67 started to question the suspect. After about 45 minutes, he changed his story, claiming that the car had been stolen. Something about this story, too, 68 extremely unlikely and I refused to accept it.The suspect kept telling his story. Luckily, I took a useful and 69 training course last weekend.

And for some of us, even the Smallest changes can upsetour day. So, the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments(调整)to our lives so hard?Why we dislike changeFear of change is 75 new. Over a century ago, people in Paris were unhappy over an unusual addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they were against its construction(建造). As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely 76 . They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry. But we get upset over changes even when we do have to a say in the matter. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take. V oluntary(出于自愿的)changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will 77 our future.How we can overcome our fear of changePeople have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear of change is to be flexible. Whenpeople are flexible, they can 78 new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who were against change, especially with technology in the workplace, may end up finding themselves out of a job.When change comes, and you have no choice but to 79 it. A positive(积极的)attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. 80 , don’t just focus on how you feel about change. You should learn to accept the change. The change is the reality and it’s up to you to decide whether the change will bea success or a failure. You never know—your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!75. A. something B. anything C. everything D. nothing76. A. important B. natural C. unusual D. ordinary77. A. assist B. reward C. affect D. arrange78.
