完形填空One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life seemed 1. The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 2 for granted, just as he used to himself. Now, however, he felt 3 —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 4.Seeking more personally satisfying 5, he had just left a successful job as a mercial artist when it seemed that fate(命运)played a cruel 6 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 7 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy. He began to 8 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 9. Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated(带插图的)books.According to Jimmy, you are what you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person.

Everything will be all right for us—as it is for the “small people” in Jimmy’s books—if we make choices that are 13 for us.In spite of his new 14 and wealth, Jimmy prefers working 15 at home with his wife and daughter. He spends his mornings drawing.
