3.The best mistake I ever made was when I was 24 years old and a senior at New York University (NYU).At the time,I was planning to get a law and business degree after graduation and wasn't even job hunting.
    One day,I walked into the student center looking to get a soda,but instead found a roomful of students wearing suits and ties and holding a stack of resumes (簡歷).Clearly,I had accidentally walked into a job fair.I was casually dressed and had a scarf on my head because I hadn't washed my hair that morning.I tried to walk across the hall when a man stopped me with his hand reached out."Hi,my name is Donny McKenthan.Would you like to work for IBM?"I replied,"Uh,no,thank you,I'm just getting something to drink from that machine over there."
    I ended up having a wonderful conversation with him,but I told him there was no way he could convince me.My course was set.I went out for dinner that night with some friends.When I mentioned my story,they couldn't believe I was foolish enough to turn down interviewing with this amazing company!I went home that night,dug out his card from the garbage bin and called him back.
    After a series of successful interviews,an IBM manager called me to extend an offer,which would be followed up in a few days in writing.When I asked what the salary was,he cryptically(含糊其辭)said 18,000.Inmymind,Ithought18,000 a year was low,given what I had been earning for part-time work paying my way through NYU.So I told him I thought I should earn more,and started to negotiate.He was surprised and explained that the starting salary for all trainees was set in store.
    The next day,I received the offer in the mail.As it turned out,I misunderstood the offer---I would earn $1,8000 a month.That was a great salary,so of course,I took the job.I never did tell my manager about my mistake,but a few months later he placed me in sales because I was the only trainee who had tried to negotiate a starting!That comedy of errors ended up being a wonderful 22-year career at IBM.

20.The holidays are a time for embracing (擁抱) tradition.No matter what that means for your family and friends,here are some tips for celebrating a truly traditional Christmas.
1.Serve home-grown food
(11)DIf you have done some canning or freezing this year,made homemade jams or jellies,or grown various types of vegetables,now is the time to serve them up at your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner,
2.Do some baking
You can get creative with the types of things you bake,such as cookies,pies or cakes.
3.Help those in need
One holiday tradition is to take a little time to do something special for someone who needs help.Find some elderly people in your neighborhood and ask them what they need.(12)B Ask your friends and family if they know anyone who could need some kind of help.
4.(13)F
Instead of running around and facing all the crowded stores and last-minute shoppers,start your planning early.Don't wait until two days before Christmas to get what you need.If you decide on gifts several weeks before the holiday,you will be more likely to sit back and enjoy the festivities when the time comes.
5.Schedule relaxation
No matter how busy you are,it is a good idea to plan on setting time aside just to relax.You could schedule a message on the weekend,or start going to a yoga class.Try using some aromatherapy(香薰療法) products,or some of the specialty items like nature alarm clocks or tabletop water fountains that can help you relax because of the soothing (撫慰的)sounds they make.(14)A
6.Decorate like the old days
You can do research on the Internet about the types of traditional styles of holiday decor that date back to hundreds of years.(15)E From wall hangings to table decor,you can find some unique ideas to dress up your home that you can probably make yourself.

A.You may even think about getting some stress-relief products for someone you know.
B.Perhaps you can drive them to the store,or do some shopping for them.
C.Spread cheer
D.A thoughtful way to make your holiday dinner table more traditional is to serve a few
home-grown foods.
E.Then you can find ways to recreate olden-day decor in your living room this year.
F.Avoid the rush
G.Christmas is one of those holidays that just seems to be filled with cheer and wonder.
