Question

Then near the end of two months, I began thinking about my two        . The bank had offered better working conditions. The hospital was full of excitement, but the training was hard. It seemed that the choices of        was going to run out.

The Last day of my work at the hospital, I was        home when I saw a boy hit by a bus and lie in the road as the bus run away.      stopped. I know if the boy stayed there, he would die very soon. So, without help, I lifted him into my car.

The next day, I went to see him. His family were sitting around his bed. The doctor introduced me as “the person who saved the boy’s life”. Everyone got up, with      smiles on their faces. The mother held my hands to her face, repeating again and again, “See, you are an angel!”

What a feeling this was, to help save the life of another person!        , I knew I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I went to college for my medical studies.

We may spend a lot of time wondering about what       to take in our lives, but sometimes you don’t really have to worry about your      decisions. They are made for you by some quality(品质) in you—by what you’re       to do when necessary.
