41
at work

excited
about
43
with their new toys.But their

soon wears off and by January those
45
toys can be
found
put
away
in
the
basement.The
world
is
full
of
46
stamp
albums
and
unfinished
models, each standing as a monument to someone's
47
interest.When parents bring home a
pet
?/p>
their child
48
bathes it and brushes its fur.Within a short time, however, the
49
of
caring for the animal is handed over to the parents.Adolescents enter high school with great
50
but
are
soon
looking
forward
to

.The
same
is
true
of
the
young
adults
going
to
college.And then, how many
52
?/p>
who now complain (
抱?/p>
) about the long drives to work,
53
drove
for
hours
at
a
time
when
they
first
54
their
driver's
licenses
(
执照
)?
Before
people
retire,
they
usually
55
to
do
a
lot
of
56
things,
which
they
never
had
57
to do while working.But
58
after retirement, the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of
the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they
59
.And, like the child in January
?/p>
they
go searching for new
60
.
