I knew that if I were ____41____ there, I would learn how to use a cash register, prepare sandwiches, and ____42____ cake orders. I imagined that my biggest struggle would be ____43____ demanding New Yorkers, but I never thought that the act of tying a box would become both my biggest ____44____ and greatest teacher. On my first day of work in late August, one of the employees quickly explained the ____45____. It seemed simple: wrap the string(绳子) around your hand, then wrap it three times around the box both ways, and fasten it. I ____46____ the message in my head, “three times, turn it, three times, ____47____ it” until it became my habit. After observing several employees, it was ____48____ that anyone tying the box could complete it in a matter of seconds. For weeks, I ____49____ endlessly, only to watch the strong and small pieces of my pride unravel (散开) each time I tried. As I ____50____ to push half-tied cake boxes into plastic bags with embarrassment, I could not help but ____51____ what was wrong with me. ____52____ the weeks progressed, my skills slowly began to improve. ____53____ there were days when I just wanted to throw all of the ____54____ in the trash and use tape (胶带) instead; this sense of defeat was never ____55____, but remarks like “Oh, you must be ____56____” from impatient customers made me angry and determined to try even harder. Gradually I began to realize that I should not be ____57____ if it takes me longer to learn. I kept on, and I continued to tie boxes every weekend at work. Even though I occasionally fell back into ____58____, I always rewrapped the string around my hand and ____59____ over because I learned that the most satisfying victories come from not ____60____. 41.
