Whatever her reasons are, you should let her know that you are a unique, caring person who certainly deserves a good friendship at school, _46__ you wouldn’t have taken the time to write me.

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, __36__, he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something __37__ in the company should ever do.

One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who __45__ the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely __46__ about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would __47__ to such an extremely embarrassing incident.

As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the __48__ when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, __49__ with empathetic(体恤别人感受的) consideration. She listened to my   __ 50__. Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)   __51__.

“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to __52__ that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s __53__. It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her __54__ to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”     I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those __55__ words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

One of the most common social fears is that we are not good enough. Perhaps you feel you won’t   21  others because they are more confident, successful, intelligent or attractive than you. Such thinking is misguided. The   22  of doing well is accepting yourself as you are.
When I was a student, I kept a diary filled with   23  memories. Some were painful memories from   24  when I felt hurt, confused, lonely and insecure. I   25  pieces of dreams and personal feelings of anger and hatred,   26  things I enjoyed such as magic shops and coin dealers.
Then a terrible thing happened.   27  dinner one night I realized I had left my diary in the cloakroom(衣帽间)outside the campus dining hall.   28  that somebody might read it and find out the truth about me, I   29  back, but it was gone.
Weeks passed, and eventually I gave up hope of ever finding it   30 . A month later, I was 31  up my jacket in the same place when I saw my brown   32  diary, just where I’d left it.
  33  I read through the pages and found that a   34  had written the following, “God bless you. I’m   35  like you, only I   36  keep a diary, and I’m   37  to know there are others like me. I hope things turn out well for you.”
Tears came to my eyes. It had never dawned(开始为人所明白)on me that any one could know my inner feelings and also   38  things just like the way I did.
No matter what you are like, whether you’re rich or poor, brilliant or average, attractive or 39 , there are people like you. Discard(抛弃)your fears of not measuring up(符合期望), and 40  yourself as you are.
