完形填空。
It's only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it "extremely
embarrassing" in a company-wide e-mail - which,
1 , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain
that what I did was something
2 in the company should ever do.
I wish I
3 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow -
4 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I'm
5 , experienced and I know better.
6 I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple
of days many of them have taken time to
7 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar
8 they have made. Evidently I'm not the only "
9 " person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected
professional who
10 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely
11 about her work, and to
be honest I was a little nervous about how she would
12 to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected , Lois didn't pass over the
13 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it
directly,
14 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my
15 . Just as I was ready to express
my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)
16 .
"It happened", she said, "There's nothing you can do to
17 that. It happened. But it's over now.
It's
18 . It's in the past. You need to let it go, and move on." And with that she returned her
19 to
her work, as if to say, "We're done here."
I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those
20 words: It's over. It's done.
Let it go. And mostly, move on.
