Cindy Sydney is the founder of C&S Paving Inc.(鋪路公司) in Miami, USA. In the following account, she recalls the job that challenged her 31 and skill but left her flying high.

　 "When the Miami Airport was under 　32 in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved 　33 the cars could be on site _34 the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away! 　35 other local paving company wanted to do the job, stating it couldn't be done in such a _36__ time.

　 "Because we were new and really needed the work, we were 37 to try harder. We gave National Car Rental our offer and _38 our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also 　39 them that if we failed, they would be no worse off, 　40 they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.

　 "We got the job and immediately went into 41 . Working at night needed lights, so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site. Our 42 challenge was to keep the rock mixture 43　 enough. All the available water wagons(灑水車) were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldn't 44 to buy a new one. Instead, I got a special 45 to rent fire engine hoses(消防水龍帶) and connect them to nearby hydrant(消防栓); then I 　46 held one of those hoses to 47 down the rock.

　 "Those ten days were filled with challenges that _48 one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the only company that had cars on the parking lot.

　 "The key to our success was having the 49 to take on any job and then being 　50 in our approach to getting it done."
