On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my
readers, so I was __

2__ , I could
see it was from a most popular newspaper.

Later, when I made friends with Mr John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to
__

7__ feel happy," he told me, "I feel happy, too."
__
