The world is full of       stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s       interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child       bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a       time, however, the burden of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great excitement but are soon looking forward to       . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many     , who now complain about the long drives to work,       drove for hours at a time when they first       their driver’s license ? Before people retire, they usually      to do a lot of      things, which they never had time to do while working. But soon after retirement, the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of the other pastimes (消遣) become as boring as the jobs they     . And, like the children in January, they go searching for “new        ” .

If you give employees the right to telework, be careful! The very technology that enables working from home could be   1  its value to your company. Although productivity may increase in the short term, working from home may prevent your teams from working   2 .

A healthy organization has a   5  that allows the sharing of values and ideas and the   6

There is something   12  about spending the time together, about sharing meals, about   13  ideas, and about asking.
Magical or not, the fact remains that teleworking generally doesn’t work well. As technological change   14  and marketplace pressures increase, companies need to become more flexible and creative, just to keep up.

It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long   1 , my friends and I had decided to   2  and take some extra courses. We had   3  the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was   4   into a stuffy (愁悶的)former laundry room and each night was a new   5  in humidity. Still, it felt   6  to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks,   7  , the thrill faded and   8  set in. I found myself sitting alone each night   9  my home and my parents.
My summer holidays had always been a   10  time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I   11  helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food   12  with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet   13 . Now I found myself missing them   14  than ever.
Finally when my   15  were at their lowest, I heard a   16  at the door. I opened it and was   17  to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my   18  heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating   19  , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the   20  that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.
