As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas 16 for her father.
She 17 that he were as easy to please as her mother, who was 18 satisfied with perfume(香水). 19, shopping at this time of the year was not a most 20 job. People 21 on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost 22 you over in their hurry in order to 23 something cheap ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on 24. "They are 25 silk," the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to 26 her to buy one. But Edith knew from past 27 that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, 28 where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the 29 were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father 30 smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was 31 to please him.
When she got home, with her small but 32 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already 33 table. Her mother was in great 34. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so 35 that she could not say a single word.

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, 11 , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something 12 in the company should ever do. I wish I 13 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — 14 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m 15 , experienced and I know better.
16 I work with some very kind and compassionate (富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 17 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 18 they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ 19 ” person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 20 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 21 about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would 22 to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the 23 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, 24 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my 25 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n) 26 .
“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to 27 that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s 28 . It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her 29 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 30 words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.
