I achieved success at my job. I worked very hard, and it gave me and my family a wonderful lifestyle. I had worked for the same company for twenty years and had worked my way up to department manager. However, one afternoon last May, I was called to the office, and it was gently explained to me that they were letting me go. I just sat there as they talked on and all I could think was, “I’ve failed.” I’d been so respected, suddenly I was of no value (价值).
For six weeks, I was in a very dark place. I walked aimlessly around my house. I could see things needed doing, but would not do anything. I was not able to face the future life positively (积极地).
Then, in late June, my youngest son’s football team made the city cup final. The year before, he had been very sad when I missed the same final, so he was happy when I told him I’d go this time. Finally they won. And when he saw me cheering him on, the look on his face was unbelievable.
From then on, I spent the summer enjoying my sons and their passions. I watched their matches and performances of my elder son. I even went to another city to watch him play. These moments were so meaningful. I realized that I had spent much time on my work and I felt thankful that my sons were happy to welcome me into their world.
Unexpectedly (出乎意料地), during this period of time, I felt a sense of being valued again. Now I feel more positive about my professional future and I’m getting on better with my family than I ever have. Losing my job made me realize just how important it is to __________.
54. Was the writer successful at his job before losing it
_________________________________.
55. What did he think of himself after hearing the company let him go
_________________________________.
56. What does this sentence “I was in a very dark place” mean
