It was in late April, dangerously near the well – known AP exams, when the absurdity(无助的荒诞感) of my life struck me. I was making a 36 of problems to be discussed for the evening as usual. When I 37 the great number of things on the list—a literature essay, timelines for American History, a Spanish presentation and 38 for tests in both Calculus and Physics, I was overwhelmed(难以承受) to the point of 39 exhaustion (extreme tiredness). After - school arrangements had already worn away my 40 . To keep myself awake at 11p.m. to finish five hours of 41 just seemed like too much to handle. I 42 at the computer screen with tears streaming down my cheeks, 43 my friend James about how stressed out I was over school.
His response was immediate. “Well, 44 did you decide to take five AP classes on the top of everything you’re doing?”
My response 45 just as quickly. “Because I need them for college. Harvard won’t 46 someone who doesn’t challenge themselves with difficult classes!”
The words sounded so 47 as I typed them on the screen that I 48 laughed out loud. I was supposed to be 49 myself not torturing(折磨) myself. That was the night I 50 that I didn’t need to deal with a course load of disastrous difficulty to 51 my own self – worth.
It was a little too late to 52 things, of course. The AP exams were about to go full – force, 53 were winding down, and most of my clubs and organizations were about to hold their end – of – year parties. Still, I 54 a valuable lesson. No college, one billion dollar endowment (资助) or not, is worth the 55 I went through last year. I wish I’d had someone to tell me sooner that I didn’t have to do everything. Colleges don’t really want overachieving robots, They want people with passion(love). It doesn’t matter whether you’re a policy debater or not, as long as you show that you’re going for the things you love.

Dear Doctor,
My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to 36 home and raise our three children.Then four years ago, our youngest 37 went to school and I thought I might go back to 38 .
My husband was very 39 and helped me to make my decision.He pointed out all of the things I can do around the 40 , and said he thought I could be a great 41 in business.
After several weeks of job-hunting, I found my 42 job, which is working for a small public relations firm.At first, my husband was very 43 of me and would tell his friends, "My clever little wife can 44 that company she's working for."
But as his joking words were close to 45 , my husband stopped talking to me about my job.I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now 46 more money than he is.I can buy my 47 clothes and a new car.Because of our joint incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always 48 of doing, but we don't do these things because he is very 49 .
We 50 about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends.For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to a(an) 51 .
I love my husband very much, and I do not want him to 52 lower, but I also love my job.I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know 53 .Can you give me some 54 ? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my 55 and my new career?
Please help.

As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis. I was quite 48 with you last week when you gave us the assignment. I didn’t feel that I had 49 to say those words to and 50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me.
