Tina graduated from college. Several days later, she got a new job. She would work in the biggest company(公司)in her city. Her friends admired her very much.

    On her first workday, Tina arrived at 8:45 a. m. She took the lift to the 11th floor(楼层), and a clerk showed her where her desk was. As a green hand, she didn't know what to do, so she tried to talk to the girls who sat near her in the office. However, they were not friendly to her. After a while, a young boss came in. Tina was surprised that the boss was not the old man who interviewed her several days ago. The boss gave her a lot of reports to write. But when she began to write, she found that she had much trouble understanding the reports. She spent almost the whole day trying to do the work. At5:30pm., it was time to go home. Although most of the reports weren't finished, she got into the lift. On the 10th floor, she was greeted by John, the old man who interviewed her several days ago. "Tina!" He said, "Why didn't you work with us today?" All of a sudden, Tina realized she mistook the 11th floor for the 10th floor. "Oh, my God!" She answered, "     " After hearing this, John couldn't help laughing.

Grace has a large glass jar(罐) and she got it from her grandfather. The girl 1 it half full with clean water. The water shone 2 in the sunlight. Each drop was proud of its own purity(纯净).

One day, Grace's cousin, Bob, came for a 3 . While Grace was away, the boy saw the jar and thought, "What will happen 4 I put some ink(墨水) in the water?"

Bob searched Grace's desk and found a crayon. Just as he was going to put a few drops of ink in the jar, Grace walked in. "Bob, what are you doing?" She asked. But it was already too 5 . Grace watched in anger as the ink slowly mixed in, 6 the water blue.

"Don't you know that once a jar of water gets 7 , it's very hard to get it clean again?" Grace sounded 8 .

"I'm sorry," Bob replied in a low 9 . "I was just curious（好奇）."

Grace 10 to get the water clean, but the jar was too heavy for the two of them to lift up. 11 could only pour some pure water into it. The jar of water would 12 be as clean as it was before.

The world's oceans(海洋) are just like this jar of water. Once we 13 them, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to make them clean again. Unluckily, some people and countries don't seem to 14 this. They've poured many dirty or even toxic(有毒的) drops into the world's "jar". But 15 Bob, they are not curious.

A daughter graduated from college. Her father planned to teach her a 1 . He said to her, "My darling, you have grown up. Now I'm considering 2 .my car, and can you help me get a good price for it?", The daughter agreed. Then the father asked her to take the car to 3 .places and then choose the best 4 .

The daughter knew that her father's car was a good one. She was 5 .that the car was worth a good price although it looked pretty old. She went to the first place—a used car market, and they offered her $1, 000. Then in a pawn (典当) shop, she was told the car was worth just $200, which really 6 .the daughter. Finally, she went to a car club. The workers there told the daughter 7 .that the car was very hard to 8 .in the market because it had been no longer in production and that they wanted to buy the car any time at $50, 000 and even more. 

The daughter told these 9 .to her father. The father said, "Don't be surprised. The value (价值) of the car is different in different places. Only the right place can give you the right value. Therefore, if you are not appreciated (赏识) by someone, do not be angry. It just means you are in the 10 .place. You should move on and go to a better place where you can certainly go far."
