Years ago, my grandmother was in a nursing home. She was a retired university professor, which brought her an ocean of 1 she had taught before.

Once I greeted (打招呼) him, "How are you doing recently?" He gave me a(an) 4 , saying nothing. Thinking he was 5 of hearing. I raised my voice and asked again. He just shook his head slightly. After a long while, finding I was 6 there, he just said, "Fine. " Then he looked away. I had to shut up, feeling rather 7 .
Later, I learned that the old man had got quite a few companies from his family. Since he was not a good 8 , he annoyed many people and even made his family and friends pull away. And 9 , his companies all failed.

It's extremely important for a person to learn to put what he thinks into 12 . It makes a relationship 13 and a career flourish (繁荣). I'm afraid this is something many of us don't have. Just think: How many of us have ever 14 those who love us just because we are not good at speaking? So, more often than not, it is not what we think but how we speak that 15 how far we can go in life.
