2、ustodian, and he was the most respected and most well-known person in the building. Everyone loved Henry, and it was because of all the implicit ways he expressed his love for everyone around him. Henry didn t have to say “ I love you ” . He lived his love. Henry was always excited _22_ he met someo

3、ne new, and he wanted to know everything about them. He felt it was important to do things for people he valued. And Henry seemed to value everone he met. He brought in articles or cartoons for certain people,went out of his way to introduce people to each other, _23_ keep dozens of names and birthd

4、ays in his wallet so that he could send cards, and helped students keep in touch with graduates who _24_ write to him. He even assisted students who didn t have enough moeney to buy their books. Henty taught me-and many others he suported -how to live life to the fullest. Not by skydiving or explori

5、ng some foreign countries, but by appreciating where you are in life and _25_ value others around you. The funny things is that despite _26_ he did and taught us, Henry truly believed that he was the lucky one-that he was the one who was gaining so much by getting to know us. But all of us who remem

7、a gate which someone had forgotten to oil. Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this weakness, and took every opportunity she _28_find to practice these high notes. As she lived in a small house, _29_ she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along

8、 the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person _30_ come along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer _31_（hear）before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person, and because she was sensitive abo

9、ut those high notes. One afternoon, however, a fast open car came behind her so silently _32_ she did not hear it until it was only a few yards away from her.

12、classes that are relevant to their position. This is a very limiting policy.

And, if the employee stays, that education will _45_ benefit the company: Not only is the employee more

18、educated, but now that employee can be _46_ so the company doesn t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well.
