Jason and Harry joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. They both worked very hard.
After several years, the boss made Harry sales manager but Jason      a salesman. One day Jason could not stand it anymore. He handed in his resignation letter (辭職信) to the boss and complained that the boss did not         hard-working employees, but only raised those        tried to please him. He thought that it was really        .
In order to help Jason to realize the        between him and Harry, the boss asked Jason to do the        --- "Go and find out if there is anyone selling watermelons in the market." Charlie went, returned and only said, "Yes." The boss asked, "How much per kg?" Charlie went back to the market to ask and returned to        , "$ 12 per kg."
The boss told Jason that he would ask Harry the        question. Harry went, returned and said, "Boss, only one person selling watermelons. $12 per kg, $ 100 for 10 kg. He has a total of 340 melons. On the table are 58 melons, and every melon weighs about 15 kg,       from the South two days ago. They are fresh, red, and of good        ."
Jason was        and he realized the difference between himself and Harry. He decided not to leave but to learn from Harry.
My dear friends, you know, a more        person is more observant(觀察力敏銳的), thinks more and understands in        . For the same matter, he sees several years ahead,       you see only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times, so how could you        ?
Think: how far have you seen ahead in your life? How thoughtful are you?

Sneakers are a kind of shoes worn by many people all over the world.       , no one really knows where the word “sneaker” came from. Some say it came from the old English verb “sneak”, which means to move silently and quickly. The only thing we are       is that when you put on a pair of sneakers, you feel light-hearted, light-footed and ready to play.

Sneakers of some kind are used by those who play tennis, basketball, and other sports. New design has been made        for people who run slowly. In fact American children of         ages would much rather play in sneakers than anything else.
New York City once held a poetry competition for children. The subject was only “sneaker”. One prize winner called     poem “The Sneaker and the World Peace”. “When everyone is wearing sneakers,” she said, “it will be impossible to        .”
American school children can be seen every day      sneakers of all colors. They put them on in the morning and take them off at bedtime. Sneakers are      washed. Some children think the older and dirtier they are, the         loveable they are. When their sneakers wear out, children hate to throw them off. How do you explain the closeness between      and sneakers? Perhaps another young winner in the New York Poetry Contest said it best. “A shoe is just a shoe,” he said. “But a sneaker is a friend.”
