Nothing can【C1】_the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you. It may be an idea or a bit of
44、 information you【C2】_across accidentally or a sudden【C3】_, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal【C4】_are the “pay off“ in education.

To others, the very idea of having to work【 C18】_is threatening. But there is no need to approach the research paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to【C19 】_. Instead, consider it a goal to 【C20】_, a goal within reach if you use the help this book can give
