This r__________（使想起） me of what we did together during the holiday.

There is a b________ （根本的，基本的） difference between the two points.

This white peak c_____________ finely with the blue sky.（對比、對照）

At Christmas people a__________（呼吁，請求） to us to help the poor.

One d_________ （缺點） is that it will take a long time.

The symptoms（癥狀） the doctor told us yesterday was really d__________（令人焦慮）

The new seat-belt regulations came into e_________ （生效）last week.

With excitement we started our small business. No longer were we  _36_  to have a weekly paycheck.. We now were on our own to  _37_  an income to provide us with the money to live. I was a little  _38_  about our ability to do this. But Byron, my wife, believed in our products and believed in our ability to  _39_ .

We invested （投資） heavily in producing a number of products,  _40 _ none of them were popular with customers. The market gave us so heavy a  _41__  that we hardly made enough money to pay our expenses.

We now had our money  _42__  in the booth（貨攤） that we had rented for the summer and fall months. We had a lot of money  _43_  up in materials. So we did not have enough money to _ _44__  our monthly bills. We were discouraged, and the thoughts of failure ran through our heads.

As we discussed our  _45__ , I happened to read the words：“If you have made mistakes ... there is always another chance for you ... you may have a ___46__ start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘Failure’ is not falling down, but  _47_  down.”

The words reinforced（增強）my determination and Byron’s  _48__ that we could succeed. We did fall down, but we were  _49_  not to stay down! So, we stepped back and refocused. We came up with new products using remaining  __50___ . We redesigned our booth. We reconsidered our pricing system. And, we started making enough money to pay our __51__ .

If we had done nothing,  if we had allowed ourselves to “stay down”, then we would have  __52__  But we made the choice to learn from our __53__ , and we moved forward  with more determination.  Those words  _54__ a much better idea on failure -- a chance for a fresh start! The most important point here is “choice” because you decide how you  __55__ your failure, you decide if you stay down.
