People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but    36  is the window for me?

　　The wisest people are always    48   who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and    49   a lot of time soaking inside the workbook,    50  made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence?

　  Difficulties always go with me. Go   55  ! I can make it.

I walked down the row and found    40    was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
