How can you make a million dollars in one month? I’m sure I am going to get the   1.  of many readers with this question. The    2.   news is that you are not going to make a million dollars in one month    3.   you win the lottery (彩票) or some prize.

We all want to be millionaires. However, if you try to find out how they become   4.  rich, you will learn that they worked very    5.  for the money. That is what most   6.  have had to do, including Bill Gates and Andrew Carnegie, and they often went   7.  hardships before they succeeded    8.   .

There are many reasons why the millionaires have made it   9.    for themselves. In this article, I am going to    10. passion (热情) which I think is the most    11.   quality to have in order to succeed. I am sure that if one was to   12.   the people who made millions in their lifetime, this would be found in all of them.

Take J.K Rowling for    13.  . Her first Harry Potter was sent to twelve publishing houses, all of which    14.  to publish it. A year later, she was finally given the chance by a small    15. , which paid 15.000. and the  16. from that company was that she should get herself a job since she had little  17.   of making a living by writing children’s books. If you want to make a million dollars, find something that    18.   you really passionate (热情的) and work hard at it. It doesn’t    19.   what it is. Let me know how you    20.   !

Not many foreigners can say that they have lived in China for as long as I have. Perhaps some can hack(应对) it for about two or three years and then they want to either go back home or move on to another country. As for me, I cannot get 36 of this place. I love it here so much and I honestly believe that I am very comfortable here. It feels just like 37. And, here 38 the story.

It was August 2001 and I had just said 39 to my family and friends as I 40 to Los Angeles International Airport to catch my 41 to Incheon, South Korea which would then 42 me to Beijing. When I arrived in LA I was very excited and a little 43 because I didn't know what to 44 when I arrived in China. It 45 like receiving a wrapped gift and you had no idea what was in it 46 you opened it. As I 47 the Korean Airlines 48 desk I gave the attendant(空乘人员) my ticket. He looked at me and said, "I'm sorry, sir. This flight was yesterday." I was in 49 and lost for words. The attendant told me I had to wait several hours until they could 50 whether I could get onto another flight.

I was so afraid at this time that I called my mother and frantically(狂乱地) told her," I missed my flight! I don't think I can go to 51! I'm better off going back to Washington, DC!" That's when she 52 I call my leader in China and ask whether I could still go there. Looking 53 all of the papers I found a phone number and called the Beijing office. 54, my leader was there and assured me I could still join the group. Also, KAL had a seat for me on the next flight. So, after 24 hours and a 55 in Korea, I arrived in Beijing. I don't know what my feeling was, but I wasn't tired because I had finally arrived and I just wanted to look around the city. As I traveled to the hotel in the car I saw all the wonderful buildings, friendly people and interesting sites. I was so happy to be here.

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to have a seat by myself．Just then, an air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind  26   your seat? A couple would like to sit together．” The only 27 seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts（石膏），a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression．“ 28  am I going to sit there,” I thought immediately．But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help．” Finally, I  29  to move to that seat．
The girl was named Kathy．She 30  in a car accident and now was on her way for  31 When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to 32  that Kathy would not be able to 33 herself．I considered 34  to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too 35  to offer a service to a 36  ．But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more 37  than any of my discomfort．I offered to help her eat, and 38 she was uncomfortable to accept, she 39  as I expected．We became closer and closer in a short period of time．By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart  40  , and the 41  was really better spent than if I had just sat by myself．
I was glad I had reached  42  my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her．Love  43  flows beyond human borders and remove the fears that keep us 44 ．When we  45  to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world．

My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle．It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week．And my first real job，when I was six years old，was  36  the diners’ shoes．My father had done it when he was young，so he taught me  37 to do it efficiently，telling me to  38  to re-shine the shoes if the customer wasn’t  39  .

Working in the restaurant was a cause of great  40  because I was also working for the good of the family．But my father  41  that I had to meet certain standards to be part of the team．I  42_  to be punctual(守时的)，hard-working，and polite to the  43  ．

       I was  44  paid for the work I did at the restaurant．One day I made the mistake of advising Dad that he  45  give me $10 a week．He said，“OK．How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And  46  the times you bring in your friends for free soft drinks?” He  47  I owed him about $40 a week．

       I remember returning to Seattle after being  48  in the US Army for about two years．I had just been promoted to Captain at that time．And full of pride，I walked into my parents’ restaurant，but the  49  thing Dad said was，“How about your  50  up tonight?” I couldn’t  51  my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But it didn’t   52  as far as Dad was concerned，I was just  53_   member of the team．I reached for the mop(拖把)．Working for Dad has taught me the devotion to a     _54  is above all．It has nothing to do with  55  that team is involved in a family restaurant or the US Army．
