Last week, I took a sales class for female business owners. The     36   thing the instructor did was ask if anyone had been the victim of a     37   sales experience. Every person in the room    38   her hand.

When she knew details, we learned that the     39   situations had one thing in common. It     40   that whenever a class member had a bad sales experience, it involved the     41   promising something he wouldn’t or couldn’t deliver.

The example I     42  with the class was a current one. I bought a summer membership at our community pool     43   because it advertised a lovely baby pool to which I could escape with my active one and four year-olds. However, every time I’ve used the pool this summer, the baby area has been     44   . Too much chlorine（氯气）,    45   one manager.

I’m sure the pool director was very apologetic that his     46   had been inconvenienced, and that’s nice, but the     47   is that I did not get what I paid for. When the baby pool was closed, I had to swim with my     48   in the adult pool, which did not     49   me the control I wanted and as such, was quite stressful. I would have rather stayed home.

The pool has     50  a customer. I will not be buying a pass next summer.

In work and in life, it is really important not to     51   something you can’t deliver, because at best, it will improve your   52    . At worse, you could lose your job.    53   , before you assure a co-worker or customer that you can get something done, make sure that your boss or someone higher-up isn’t going to step in and force you to     54   your plan. You are not God, so don’t lead people to believe that you     55  the universe.

Attentions, please. 0n Saturday evening there is a talk by a well-known America writer, Sura Jones. You may read her latest novel. It’s in all the bookshops at the moment. Well, a talk will be given at 8 pm on Saturday evening in the library. That’s the building next to Allen Hall,the English Department Building. Miss Jones has just returned back from Africa and will talk about all her experience there. She traveled through three different countries and meet lots of interesting people. Now I’d like to remind you that the talk is for everyone, not just to the fourth-years students. I’m sure the talk will be interesting and hope you all have great time.
