43、my Liao was crying in the hall of Taipeis Sherwood Hotel, Life seemed 36 . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 37 for granted, just as he 38 himself. Now, however, he felt 39 and he couldnt even show his disappointment in his 40 .Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he ha

44、d just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate（命运）played a cruel 42 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 43 to work.

50、 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes break between classes. But when the bell for the next class rings, you cant 36 how quickly time has passed.If you are familiar with this 37 , youll know how time flies when you are having fun-and 38 when you are bored.

53、t if the brain is 49 focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to 50 its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. 51 , time passes without us really 52 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 53 energies on monitoring the passing of time. 54 , time se
