It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake． My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, 　 36　 , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something 　 37　 in the company should ever do． I wish I 　 38　 give a good excuse for what I did． At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — 　 39　 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance． Unfortunately, I’m 　 40　 , experienced and I know better．

　 41　 I work with some very kind and compassionate （富于同情心的） people． For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 　 42　 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support． Some have shared with me similar 　 43　 they have made． Evidently I’m not the only “　 44　 ” person here．

One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 　 45　 the desk right next to mine． Lois was completely 　 46　 about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would 　 47　 to such an extremely embarrassing incident．

As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the 　 48　 when she saw me the next day． She mentioned it directly, 　 49　 with empathetic consideration． She listened to my 　 50　 ． Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a（n） 　 51　 ．

“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to 　 52　 that． It happened． But it’s over now． It’s 　 53　 ． It’s in the past． You need to let it go, and move on．” And with that she returned her 　 54　 to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here．”

I beat myself up for weeks． At such times I need to remember those 　 55　 words: It’s over． It’s done． Let it go． And mostly, move on．

　　It’s only 34 centimetres tall but, as the highest honour in the world of cinema, an Oscar is worth its weight in gold．

　　Just saying its name draws up images of red carpets, bubbling champagne(冒泡的香檳), beautiful stars and, most importantly of all, success．

　　When the 76th Academy Awards were presented this morning in Los Angeles, US, the winners became headline news across the world just as the first Academy Awards．Organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place at a Hollywood hotel on May 16, 1929．All the guests knew who had won in advance; the present system of keeping it a secret until the envelope is opened was introduced in 1941．

　　The trophy(獎品)is the figure of a knight(騎士)holding a sword．The first awards were solid bronze but a metal shortage during World War Ⅱ meant the trophies were made of plaster(石膏)for a while．Nowadays, the figures are made of metal and given an outer coating of gold．

　　Officially known as the Academy Award of Merit, it isn’t clear where the nickname(昵稱)Oscar came from．One popular explanation is that an Academy librarian said it looked like her uncle Oscar and the name just stuck．

　　The timing of the ceremony has only been disturbed on three occasions．The first was in 1938 when serious floods in Los Angeles delayed the awards by one week．Then in 1968 the ceremony was moved from April 8 to April 10 out of respect for Dr．Martin Luther King, who had been assassinated(暗殺)a few days earlier．Another assassination－a failed attempt on President Ronald Reagan－saw the Oscars delayed by 24 hours in 1981．

(1)

When an actor/actress wins a reward of Oscar, he/she ________．

(3)

The Trophies were once made of plaster to ________．

[　　]

A．

cut costs

B．

make them easy to keep

C．

solve the problem of metal shortage

D．

attract people’s attention

(4)

The latest delay of the ceremony was due to ________．

[　　]

A．

serious floods

B．

the murder of Martin Luther King

C．

a failed assassination on Ronald Reagan

D．

some unknown reasons

　　I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date．I just couldn't be late for!

　　We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers．The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me．She smiled．It was a nice smile –warm and reassuring –and I returned her gift by smiling back．

　　“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said．

　　“Yes, she's special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out．

　　“It's only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she's 'the one’．Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can't figure out why she'd want to date a guy like me．”

　　“Well, I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said．” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week－even when times were tough and we didn't have much money．Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and－of course－I miss him since he's passed away．”

　　I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries．There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her．I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know．These flowers are indeed for a very special lady．” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation．

　　It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased．“You have a wonderful evening,” I said．I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers．

　　I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story．A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night when I won her heart．
