Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are  ___21___ in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed ___22___ in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to ___23___ me.
Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my ___24___. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them ___25___ various experiments.
I carried out a simple ___26___ to discover whether their differences in  ___27___ was due to differences in their ability to ___28___ opportunities. I gave both the lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look ___29___ it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had  ____30____ placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying … “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $50.”
This ____31____ took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to ____32____  it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more ____33____ than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the ____34____. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too ____35____ on looking for something else. They go to gatherings focused on finding their perfect partner and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers ____36____ to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of  ____37____.
Lucky people are more ____38____ and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people create good fortune via four ____39____. They are skilled at creating and ____40____ chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), create self-fulfilling prophesies (预言) via positive expectations and adopt a “never say die” attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
