When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it.But just as
I am about to do so, I find the article on the __1__ side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of
the way to __2__ in good health, or __3__ about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.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 would __6__ before they start, __7__ halfway done when I find
out the __8__ result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your __9__.You can only take up

are both desirable like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that your 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 divided

casual __20__ may not be a bad one.
