I am a sales representative 　 and travel all over England to visit my customers.One cold February morning I was due to visit a store at 9 am.I 36　 my car,bundled my scarf around me and 　37 up the street towards his shop front.

　　　　 The Street where his store was 38 was partially blocked by two　 large,ruddy faced workmen who were teaing up the concrete.I prepared myself for the 39 cat calls(起哄).I was up early,out in the cold,and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn't even 40　 .

　　　　 Then　 I stopped　 and 4l　 my　 own father. Both he and　 my grandfather　 had 　42 much　 of their early　 careers working outside　 in　　 similar　 jobs before　 they 　43　　 and　 became　 engineers.　　 I recalled how hard Dad worked,in all kinds of 　 44　 -;how he'd come home with sunburn or frostnip(冻伤）. I realized that if was cold then these　 two　 guys were　 probably 　 45 ，given that it looked as though they'd already been　　　　　 46　 for hours.

　　　　 My customer's　 shop wasn't open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his 47 .I Went to　 a coffee sh、op　 around the　 comer, 　 48　 　　　　　myself a hot chocolate,then two　 more　 with whipped cream .I made my　 49　 　　　　 down the Street to wards the workmen.One of them turned to me with　 a wide smile and 　50 me　 with　 a joking　 "Oh　 lovey，you　 shouldn't have!"　 To his　　 51　 ，I passed him the　 tray with　 the　 two 　 52 　chocolates.I　 replied,"Maybe　 not. 　53 it's　 too　 cold　 to　 be　 working　 outside today。"　　　　

　　　 I got two　 looks　 of genuine　 (真诚的） 54　 ，and　 a　 timely　 reminder　 that it's as easy to be 　55 　as it is to pre-judge—but the former is so much nicer!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — The U.S. unemployment rate probably rose in October as employers stepped up hiring only slightly, underscoring President Barack Obama’s vulnerability in next week’s presidential election.

Employers likely added 125,000 jobs to their payrolls last month, according to a Reuters survey of economists. That would be up from 114,000 in September, but would 　 41　 short of what is needed to quickly cut the jobless rate.

Indeed, economists expect the unemployment rate — a key 　　42　 in the neck-and-neck race for the White House ——to tick up by a tenth of a percentage point to 7.9 percent, reversing part of a surprise drop seen in September.

The Labor Department's closely watched report, which will be 　 43 at 8:30 a.m. (12:30 GMT) on Friday, will be the last 　44 report card on the economy before Tuesday's presidential election, which pits (使竞争）President Obama against Republican Mitt Romney.

If economists are right, it will show the eighth straight month of dull job growth, a worrisome　 45 that would likely reinforce the Federal Reserve's resolve to keep easy money policies in place until the economy shows more vigor.

"The weakness in overall economic growth momentum has 　 46 into the last quarter of the year," said Millan Mulraine, an economist at TD Securities in New York.

Romney has made the nation's feeble jobs market, which has caused Obama a lot of trouble since he took office in 2009, the centerpiece of his 　 47 . The last Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll showed Obama and Romney in a 　 48　 heat.

Still, the report could provide fodder for both candidates. Some economists have 　 49　 an increase in the jobless rate might have a silver lining if it is driven by Americans pouring into the labor market to restart job hunts.
