Care Your DreamI always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina(芭蕾舞女) twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl in the field of wildflowers that grew in my 1 . For hours I would dance 2 people were watching me. 3 woke me up when I heard a voice saying, “I dont know why you 4 trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slim little girls. 5 , you dont have the talent to 6 be a ballerina.” I remember how those words paralyzed(使麻木) every 7 in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there to hide. I enjoyed 8 by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my 9 . There I was, looking 10 like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections dont 11 . Once the waves would come, my reflection was 12 , washed away just like my 13 . I sat there staring at the water, hoping that my reflection would reappear and be 14 .As I grew older, I began to realize that the dream I had was never 15 , so it slowly died. Its not that I wanted it to die, 16 I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words. “You cant do it.” When I 17 woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you cant just keep 18 in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the 19 . I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me. Now that I am older and 20 , I look at how God sees me.1. A. playground2. A. ever since3. A. Directors4. A. bother5. A. Meanwhile6. A. yet7. A. struggling8. A. hanging out9. A. figure10.

She wanted to know how I thought we should 3 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 4 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 5 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 6 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 7 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself. Mrs. Neidls 8 that year was, Try it. We can always paint over it 9 !I began to take 10 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing-only things to be 11 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 12 create something. The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 13 in the programas Student Art Assistant because of the time and effort Id put in. It was that year that I 14 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design. Being on that stage-design team 15 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 16 a strong interest and a world I hadnt known existed. She taught me not to 17 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 18 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset.

I had no sooner got off the 1 than I was stopped by a man who wanted to 2 me a diamond ring. I had no 3 of buying one, but I could not deny the fact that I was 4 by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as 5 as marbles（玻璃球）. The man went to great lengths to 6 that the diamonds were real. As 7 walked past a shop, he held a diamond 8 against the window and made a deep impression in the 9 .

I 15 my head and held up five fingers indicating that I was willing to pay 5. Gesturing wildly, the man acted as if he found my 16 shocking, but he eventually 17 the price to 10. Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away. A moment later, he ran after me and 18 the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he 19 accepted the 5 I gave him.

I like your 1 between death and failure. I had not thought of these two in the 2 way that you describe. I thank you for bringing this to my 3 .Your insights are very deep. 4 you say, “death is only a(n) 5 but failure can change someones whole life.” Yes, death is final. Failure is temporary. Death leaves us with 6 .But failure can leave us with lessons which will 7 our lives.I hope that your failure to pass that 8 English test will help you 9 it will hurt you. Please remember that it is not being 10 down that is important. It is the inability to get up that is 11 . You will have to learn to get up ,and to get going. Failure is the “staying down.” It is not the “falling down.”From reading your letter, I 12 your English to be very good. You write better than 13 of my American friends. I do not know the reason for 14 your English test. Maybe you were distracted that day. It is 15 that persons are judged on the basis of a single test.You write well, you 16 your feelings with excellence, and you think 17 . These characteristics should 18 you move toward a bright a bright career. Just dont let yourself “stay down.” Get up and 19 them all know that you are talented and you are 20 to succeed. I think you will.With best wishes for a fine career.1.AideaBcomparisonCthoughtDreason2.AsameBwrongCcorrectDright3.AattentionBheartCheadDhome4.AWhichBWhenCWhatDAs5.AendBresultCfactDthing6.AsomethingBnothingCanythingDthinking7.AincreaseBimproveChonorDtreasure8.AeasyBsimpleCterribleDordinary9.Aas good asBas well asCmore thanDmuch than10.AfallenBstayedCknocke
