Expect the unexpected
A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression,“ Nothing is ever easy.”The
following day, as I tried to complete my day's work, I happened to 1 a bumblebee(大黄蜂)on the skylight
(天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought 2 the bee would take no more than five
minutes. An hour later, the bee still 3 .
All that had changed was that the living room was a 4 and that I was dizzy from 5 into the
sunlight. I did not 6 to waste an hour on a tiny insect, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather
meant.
It is not only time that we tend to 7 - we don't take account of unexpected costs. We often imagine
what can work 8 , but we seldom think of all the 9 things that could affect us. However, it is
important to remember that your day of week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is
perfectly 10 to feel challenged - even at a task you thought was simple 11 that is part of life.
If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more 12 . In 13
school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I
thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule, 14 for myself. Yet I was 15 each
time. After accepting that school wouldn't be easy, I found myself 16 a more positive attitude and 17
results.
Of course, there should be preparations made to take account of 18 or time. Doing so can only help
you 19 your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up (过分自责)when
something stands in our 20 . Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves
the extra time to catch it.

2. A. flying B. removing C. hitting D. running

Kyrgyzstan, including one group member who was 74, and he was 14 the slowest.

16 the trend. The first boomers started hitting the conventional 17 age around 2010, and as with
everything, they defied convention（离经叛道）. Rather than 18 for Florida and taking up golf, they hit the

That day, my father asked, “What is the most valuable 10 a person can have for their entire life?” Before
I answered, he continued, “You think making money is the answer. huh? No! But the ability to express your 11
is. Seriously, I believe this is something most of us 12 .”
It’s extremely 13 for a person to learn to put into words, what he thinks. It makes a relationship
14 . It creates a(n) 15 on the person you’re talking to. It gives you a chance to 16 what others think
about your ideas. It lets you say something in a 17 other people understand. How many of us have said
something that has 18 whoever loves us deeply? Whatever you say, on purpose or 19 ,will matter.
