7．完形填空
A few years ago, I was working in a small office. I noticed that even though the organization was not 1 , we often worked in separate teams, and while everyone was friendly, we were not very close to each other and not very 2 .
One particular week, I decided to make people 3 , but I wanted to do it secretly, perhaps with the slight 4 that it'd invite a sense of trust or playfulness in the work culture. So one evening, I wrote a few 5 with quotes which I felt have 6 me over the years. The next morning, I went to work a bit early and 7 posted them up by the sinks and mirrors in the office restrooms. Maybe people would 8 the quotes and perhaps it might just help 9 someone's day.
For the next few months, some of the quotes got taken down, but a couple 10 . So perhaps others liked them, too.
Finally, I 11 that organization and went to work for another company. A couple of years passed during which time I'd still get emails 12 from my old boss and teammates every so often.
A few months ago, I was 13 to a reunion with them to hear how the project I had 14 was going. I had really enjoyed working with my team, and was 15 to see them all again. Towards the end of the event, I went to the 16 and noticed the quote I had written three years ago was still up in the 17 spot by the mirror! It read:
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but seeing with new eyes. -Marcel Proust
Maybe the quote simply blended into (融合) the background for the employees, or perhaps it still 18 as a shining reminder of something important.

C. distant C. familiar C. reply C. sight C. notices
D. good D. comfortable D. shout D. doubt D. poems
C. shocked D. encouraged C. naturally D. quickly C. enjoy
D. remember
C. organize D. treasure C. remained D. increased C. charged D. bought C. finished D. published C. led C. lucky C. first C. simple
D. invited D. sorry D. next D. smart
10. A. appeared B. matched 11. A. introduced B. left 12. A. sent 13. A. taken
B. read B. rushed
14. A. looked into B. thought about C. worked on D. found out 15. A. surprised B. happy 17. A. same 19. A. strange
B. only B. sweet

And I won't insult you by pretending otherwise. But remember this. Knowledge is supposed to give you 15 , not pride. Today you are the smartest person in the room; tomorrow you won't be. There will always be someone much 16 , much more diligent than you. And when that happens, all the pride in the world wouldn't be enough to 17 you from downfall.
