Dorothy was 　11　 at that time and she was 　12　 that music was 　13　 she wanted or needed to 　14　 her life.For almost a year Dorothy 　15　 of nothing else.Then she met with David,a young engineer traveling Europe.They soon fell in 　16　.David asked her to be his 　17　.Dorothy also wanted to marry David.But she loved 　18　,too.She didn't know 　19　 to do.David was against her being a singer.He said,“If you want to be a concert singer,you must forget about getting married.You can't 　20　 do both.” Thus her days were gone and would never return.

"I'll work hard to make enough money to send you to 39 　," her mother said one day. "You'll go to college and when you 40 　, you'll make enough money to take you and me around the world. Okay?"

So at age 13 when Markita 41 in her Girl Scout（女童子军）magazine that the scout who sold the most cookies would 　42 an all-expenses-paid trip for two around the world, she 　43　 to sell all the Girl Scout cookies she could --- more Girl Scout cookies than anyone in the world, ever.

Her aunt 　 45 　. "When you are doing business, dress like you are doing business. 　46 　your Girl Scout uniform. Always smile, whether they buy or not, always be 47 　. And don't ask them to buy your cookies; ask them to 48 　."

Lots of other Scouts may have 49 　that trip around the world. But only Markita went off in her uniform each day after 　50 　. "Hi, I have a dream. I'm earning a trip around the world for me and my mom by selling Girl Scout cookies," she'd say 51 　the door. "Would you like to invest in one dozen or two dozen boxes of cookies?"

Markita 　52 　3,526 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that year and won her trip around the world.

Markita is not 53 　than thousands of other people. The 54 　is that Markita had discovered the secret of selling: Ask, Ask, Ask! Many people fail before they 55 　begin because they fail to ask for what they want. The fear of rejection leads many of us to reject ourselves and our dreams

The Japanese pay much attention to the luck of telephone numbers. The bath houses, for example, like to use 4626, because when   1   in Japanese, it has the   2   pronunciation as “have a good bath”.   3   the clothes shops and the butcher’s like 4129 better than   4  number because this number can either be read as “good dress”   5    “good meat”.

Since these numbers are   6   with something   7  , people can remember them very  8  , so they have   9   advertisements for shops.

On the other hand,   10   are also telephone numbers which are regarded as forbidden   11   the Japanese people. 1564, for example, has the sound of “kill people”   12   the number 4219 has   13   of “people die”.

At   14  , there are about forty-four million   15   in Japan, yet it is almost   16   for everyone to get a lucky telephone number. So these   17   have become commodities (商品) and can be   18   as goods. The   19   can reach as   20   as 222 thousand Japanese yen (日元).
