One day my two-year-old son, 　3　at a dozen of“stood”color marker-pens, cheered excitedly, “Mummy, look! I did it. ”Afterwards, he collected some ballpoint pens, 　4　to do the same. Hard though he tried, the ballpoint pens just lay　5　. He turned to me for help. Noticing they had either sharp or round ends, I said　6　, “Mummy can’t help you. ”To my surprise, he wouldn’t listen and continued trying. . . I was dumbfounded by his persistence.

　　My son’s behaviour reminded me of George who was always　7　in his work and rarely talked to anyone. To him, 　8　, there was no such thing called weekends or holidays. Our boss praised　9　about him and　10　us to look up to him as a role model.

　　One day I met George. “Gonna work late again tonight? ”

　　“Probably I can’t leave till midnight, ”he said.

　　“How many hours have you put in here each week, eighty or ninety? ”

　　“　11　. ”

　　“Don’t you have time to be with your family at all? ”

　　He shook his head slowly and　12　a sigh. “It’s not what I wanted. But I have worked on it for so long. It’s much too　13　to even think about letting go. ”

　　A year later I resigned. The　14　thing I heard about him was that his wife divorced him. Since then I’ve never seen him. But occasionally his aged　15　would come to my mind.
