If I failed，would I be okay facing them? And I thought,So what? I can go back for further study in medicine. I started to accept that it would be okay to say，I failed，but I tried. Once I was comfortable with that thought，the fear came to an end.I realized I feared regret more than failure.And after you turn to the path you choose，there is nothing acceptable but success.”Now，Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine.“What Im doing is not all that different from what I was doing as a doctor.The goal is the same:to relieve(减轻)pain.A former professor told me:Youre helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes.As a doctor，you would have helped only the few who went to your office.Youre having a much greater effect.”Looking back，Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks.“To me，luck is about being prepared for those opportunities(机会)that come knocking.You have to have an open mind，the right skills and all your senses working to see what opportunities present themselves.Luck can open the door，but you still have to walk through it.”第36题 Before starting her shoe business，Taryn Rose was a_.A. nurseB. workerC. doctorD. boss【正确答案】C第37题 Rose realized later_was the most fearful for her to have or face in her job change.A. failureB. regretC. familyD. colleagues【正确答案】B第38题 What did her former professor think about Rose and her new job?A.

Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.C. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.D. Many people in the experiment passed the tests by guessing.【正确答案】ADThis is not a diet(减肥食谱)or a hard exercise program.Nobody can stick to those for long.Instead，its a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live.And guess what?
