Yesterday I heard from a friend. In his letter, he said,“I'm planning a housewarming party and I've already started making {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for it. It will start at 2 pm next Tuesday and last(持续) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} 9 pm. I hope you can come if possible.I am {#blank#}3{#/blank#} your coming.” But I am busy preparing for an important meeting these days. I have to turn it down. So I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in writing to the invitation like this, “I'm glad that you invited me. It's such a big event that I don't want to miss(错过) it. But I really have an important meeting that day, so I won't be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I'm very sorry. I'll visit you another time.”

    On the day of the interview, I got up at 6:00 in the morning. I got to the interview place without {#blank#}1{#/blank#} breakfast. I was the sixteenth interviewee (应聘者) and the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was a short ordinary-looking girl. I nodded to her. I asked her where she graduated. "I didn't graduate from a famous college," she told me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a low voice.

    I didn't expect the interview would last so long. As I didn't have breakfast, my stomachache came to me. I had to sit by the table for a rest. Just at that time, the girl came and asked me what happened. I told her, "I didn't have {#blank#}4{#/blank#} this morning, so I had a stomachache."

After a while, a worker came in and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} me a bottle of milk and a piece of bread. It was certain that they were bought by the girl. I felt warm all over my heart because I hadn't imagined she would be so nice to help me一her rival(竞争对手) .

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I got the job. The first day I went to work. I was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to see the girl there. She also got the job. Later I asked her why she got the job. She said with a smile," That day when I bought you the food and came back, an interviewer saw me and asked {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I took the food in hands. I told him the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Then I got the job." At that moment, I came to know that when the girl helped me, she also helped{#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    Helping others will benefit yourself as well.
