25、on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”可判断出Carolyn Stradley回忆了挑战她的想象力的工作,因为只有具有想象力才能有创造性。kindness意为“仁慈,亲切,好意,善意”;patience意为“耐性,忍耐”;experience意为“经验,体验,经历,阅历”。 37. construction意为“建设”。根据下文中的“National Car Rental wanted to have 2500 square meters of dirt paved so the cars
