問題詳情：

When I was a kid, most of my friends could stay home from school due to a stomachache or a fever but not me. I had to be lying in order to ___21___ home. My parents used to say that they were teaching me how to have a ___22___ work ethic (職業道德). I didn’t see the ___23___ until last week.

I was on the train and sat behind a young man who was ___24___ to his friend about his life. His dream in life was to make movies but he wouldn’t ___25___ it because he had no clue if he could make enough money and he didn’t want to ___26___ time because it probably would take months or years to make it ___27___. He then admitted to thinking about becoming a(n) ___28___ because he thought he could easily make six figures within one year. His ___29___ agreed because as he put it, “I have no ___30___ to work long hours and not make much money. Besides, defending cases in court is good because you can make a lot of money and only work short hours.”

Many people these days don’t ___31___ that when things seem to happen immediately, it is only because a lot of ___32___, determination and time have ___33___ into it. It wasn’t due to some unbelievable ___34___. Someone once told me that you may know ___35___ someone is an expert in his given field or not by how easy he makes it look. The ___36___ it looks, the more hours go into it.

There is no excuse for ___37___.
