here!
Turn
on
NBC
and
check
these
guys
out.
They

you...”
One

and
a
phone
interview later, Catherine __3__
herself on a bus with 8 strangers in the middle of
the sweltering desert heat of Utah,
picking up trash and __4__awareness

with

wonderful

inspiration
that
fueled
their
__11__

their
two-
week spring break, Catherine found
a blank, unidentified envelope __14__ with $$850
cash in the desert.
Just enough to get
her home and back. After their bus __15__ outside

arrived
in Yosemite National
Park three weeks later, just in time for the
“Yosemite Facelift” where __
17__ from

Being

they
realized

of
what
they
__19__ was more than
just a coincidence. Together, their team learned
to simply __20__ themselves to their task,
and surrender to the journey.

Test 2
Growing up
in
the
1960s,
I
was
taught
from
an
early
age
to
send
a
handwritten
thank-
you
note
expressing
__1__ for
kindness. My mother used to buy me a box of paper
and __2
__ me in the art and value of
saying “thank
you”. She
__
3__ to be right.
A study
showed that it took less than 5 minutes to write
the thank-
you notes. Just 5 minutes to
make __4__
person feel overjoyed!
__5__
,
in our
“instant” world, the idea of getting an actual pen
and writing an actual note
seems to
never come to mind. We tend to do what is __6__
for us
—
a quick text or an
email.
It’s
easy
to
use
the
__
7__
of
being
busy,
but
even
very
busy
and
__8__
businessmen
find
time
to
__9__
thank?you notes. For example, when
Douglas Conant became CEO of Campbell’s, the
company had __
10__ half of
its market value and
morale(
士气
) was at an
all-
time low. He __11__ fixing that by
doing some simple things that
are
probably
not
__12__
in
any
MBA
class.
For
one
thing,
Conant
wrote
to
every
__13__.
He
gained
their
confidence and
__14__
,
turned
the company __15__
.
In his ten years as CEO, Conant wrote
over 30
,
000 notes to
employees. It’s __
16__ not to ask how
he did it.
__17__
,
he had many other things to do __18__
writing a thank-
you note. Conant made
time for __19__ because
he
knew
the
impact(
影响
)
each
one
would
have.
An
expression
of
__20__
in
this
crazy
world
still
makes
a
difference.
