If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to  4  damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text  5  the title. Therefore, the scissors(剪刀)would  6  before they start,   7  halfway done when I find out the   8  result.

It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only  17  we get into another. The  18  may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I  19  remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life. ”So a casual(隨意的)  20  may not be a bad one.
