She appealed to me because she was like people I had 32______ met personally. Like women in English novels who walked the moors (whatever they were) with their 33______ dogs racing at a respectful distance. Like the women who sat in front of 34______ fireplaces, drinking tea 35______ from silver trays full of scones and crumpets. Women who walked over the “heath" and read morocco-bound books and had two last names 36______ by a hyphen.
To share a bedroom with one of these fellows is to lose one's 37______ in human nature, for, even after the most 38______ day, there is no comparing notes 39______ them, no midnight confidence, no casting up the balance of the day's pleasure and pain. They 40______, at once, into stupid, heavy slumber, leaving you to your own mental devices. And they all snore 41______ !
The senior partner studied the resume for the 42______ time and again found nothing he 43______ about Mitchell Y. Mc Deere, at least not on paper. He had the brains, the ambition, the good looks. And he was hungry; with his background, he had to be. He was married, and that was 44______. The firm also frowned 45______on divorce, as well as 46______ and drinking.
At the very top, of course, are those people, mostly young and without 47______, to whom the company is not 48______ an institution of any sacred merit but still only a place to work, and who 49______ their present association with it as something 50______. I put these people at the top because if you asked any one of them if he would choose to spend the rest of his life working for the company, he would give you a 51______ No!, regardless of what inducements were offered.
There is a difference 52______ my schooling and the wisdom of the street 53______. I know the life of a black man in Watts is 54______ than a federal poverty program. If there is no future for the black ghetto, the future of all Negroes is 55______. What affects it, affects me, for I am a child of the ghetto. When they do it to Watts, they do it to me, too. I’ll never escape from the ghetto. I have 56______ my all on its future. Watts is my home.A. with
