Question

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can 　41 on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll 　42 that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”

Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had designed myself for a 43 announcer(播音員). So I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got 　44 every time.

In one station, a kind lady told me that 　45 stations wouldn’t risk employing a person without 　46 since I had just graduated. “Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance,” she said.

I returned to Dixon, 　47 I had finished my high school education and had 　48 in the school football team. My father said that our town had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to 　49 its sports department(部門). The job sounded just 　50 for me but I wasn’t hired.

My 　51 had shown as if by design. “Everything happens for the best,” Mum 　52 me. Dad offered me his car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired a/an 　53 . 　54 I left his office, my frustration boiled over(發怒). I asked aloud, “ 55 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer 　56 he can’t get a job in a radio station?”

Suddenly, I heard the director 　57 ?. “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to 　58 an imaginary game.

It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 　59 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the 　60 Saturday.
