问题     At the age of eighteen I couldn’t wait to get my first job, which meant t made the first step toward adulthood.
    But it was difficult to get a work permit. One day I was dropped off by my parents at the【C1】________, where applicants took their physical tests for work permits.

Now, I have numerous essays and articles in print.
    Should I be thanking that misguided doctor? By falsely predicting that I could never work a day, he fueled my【C15】________ into success. He set the bar too low and focused on what I wouldn’t be able to do. Yet I proved what I could do.
