Jason and Harry joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. They both worked very hard.
After several years, the boss made Harry sales manager but Jason   31  a salesman. One day Jason could not take it anymore. He handed in his resignation letter (辞职信) to the boss and complained that the boss did not   32  hard-working employees, but only raised those   33 tried to please him. He thought that it was really   34  .
In order to help Jason to realize the   35  between him and Harry, the boss asked Jason to do the   36  --- "Go and find out if there is anyone selling watermelons in the market." Charlie went, returned and only said, "Yes." The boss asked, "How much per kg?" Charlie went back to the market to ask and returned to   37  , "$ 12 per kg."
The boss told Jason that he would ask Harry the  38  question. Harry went, returned and said, "Boss, only one person selling watermelons. $12 per kg, $ 100 for 10 kg. He has a total of 340 melons. On the table are 58 melons, and every melon weighs about 15 kg,   39 from the South two days ago. They are fresh, red, and of good   40 ."
Jason was   41  and he realized the difference between himself and Harry. He decided not to leave but to learn from Harry.
My dear friends, you know, a more   42  person is more observant(观察力敏锐的), thinks more and understands in   43  . For the same matter, he sees several years ahead,   44  you see only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times, so how could you   45 ?
Think: how far have you seen ahead in your life? How thoughtful are you?

No family wants its home to catch fire, but it's good to plan for a fire just in case （以防万一）. Talk with your family about  36 to do if a fire starts.   37  should have a plan for getting out of the house. Be sure to choose a safe place to   38  after everyone gets away from the fire.

What should you do   39  there is a fire?  First,   40  people know about the fire. Yell （叫喊） the word "fire". Knock on the walls with your hands.

Then   41  the door of your room. If the door is warm, don't open it. If it's cool, open it just enough to  42 . If you see fire or much smoke, close the door fast.

If you can't see fire or smoke, you can go out of the door. Shut the  43  behind you. That will slow down the fire. Now find a   44 out. Stay away from the smoke. The air is the  45  near the floor. So it   46  be the safest to crawl（爬）when you leave the house.

If you can't leave your room,  close your door. Cover the crack （缝隙） under the door

  47   clothing. Then open the window or   48  the glass with a chair. Crawl out, of the window   49 .If the window is high off the ground,   50 jump! Wave a towel out of the window, and yell for help. When you get out of the house, run to the place where you and your family chose to meet.

I was walking down the road one day when my cell phone rang.   36   voice on the other end spoke to me, “Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!” I thought that it was a wrong number. A short while later, the call came once again, so I   37   rudely, “You’ve dialed the wrong number!” and then hung up.

During the    38    days, I often got the    39   call. But I didn’t care much about it.

    Then one day she kept calling me,    40    I didn’t answer. Finally I answered the phone and heard a weak voice, “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m in so much    41   ! Mom said you were too busy to take care of me. But, dad, please    42    me again, OK?” It was     43    to refuse the innocent(天真的, 无邪的) ask. I made a    44    kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say, “Thank you…Dad, I am so…happy, so…happy…”

    Shortly after this, I became curious(好奇）about    45    had been on the other end of my phone. So I called back, and a woman answered, “Sorry, sir. I am really sorry to have    46    you. My daughter has had bone cancer since she was born. And her father…died in a car    47    two weeks ago. I didn’t want to tell her the news. Poor baby. When she couldn’t    48    the painful chemotherapy(化疗), she would cry for her dad because her dad always    49    her. I really don’t know what to do, so I gave her a random(随意的) phone number…”

    “How is your daughter now?” I couldn’t wait to ask.

“She has died. You   50    have kissed her on the phone, because she died with a smile, tightly holding the cell phone…”   Tears full of my eyes….
