Question

My classmate Jennifer and I graduated from an ordinary normal university last year. Like most of the students who had just stepped out of university, we had to     36    the first tough test ---- job hunting to    37     a passport to society. And the most    38    part was the job interview.

The    39    was very fierce. Dozens of my classmates, Jennifer   40   , sent our curriculum vitas to a key middle school for a teaching job, making the chance of success as low as 1 to 20.

Before the job interview, I    41   complete preparations, including a formal suit, a newly-done hair, a few    42   on job interviews, and even some ancient Chinese poems   43      I faced a learned interviewer. On that day everything went very   44   . I answered all the questions fluently. So I felt very    45   to get this job. Jennifer was still there waiting for her turn. I made a “V”    46    to her. She smiled at me, looking a little worried. I    47   she was not as eloquent(雄辯的) as I, though not worse than me in studies. I felt I had an advantage over her. However, a week later, all of us received letters of    48   . Another week later, guess what happened! She got the job!   49   congratulating her, I asked her how she got it. She said, “I did    50  . I just wrote them a note of thanks after receiving the letter of refusal.” Only then   51     I realize why all the applicants had received the same letters and that was also a part of the   52   .

Only a note of thanks, but that was what made all the difference. This experience   53  me a good lesson, that is,    54   excellent you are, you should never forget the   55   manners of saying “Thank you!”.
