She often sees double and cant 3 how far away things are.When she was little, her mom4 that even though she couldnt see 5, she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 6 right away and gymnastics became her favorite.Though learning gymnastics has been more7 for her than for some of her teammates, she has never quit. She doesnt let her 8 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest9 is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 10 your mind that itll take you where you want to go,” says Lola.To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most11 for anyone because its four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didnt fall 12 the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10her highest score yet.Lola doesnt want to be 13 differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges dont know about her vision 14.

After my dads service in World War II, he was 36 again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldnt drink 37 to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to 38 for his growing family.On our occasional trips to town, I 39 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could 40 myself in unknown places where children werent hungry and were in 41 of little. When I wasnt daydreaming, my 42 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the covers 43 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 44 we didnt have electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 45 more than lies, but the stories I told improved 46 every book I read.Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money to put more food on the family table. We 47 newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other peoples houses.Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of beans. 48 my real hunger wasnt for food it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world 49 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad 50 when he told us we would never amount to anything.Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 51 than our parents expected 52 us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 53 would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.Now Im 54 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business owners. And me, Im the keeper of the family stores. Ill never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known 55 as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing. 1.

We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had _36_ from just the two of us in a _37_ into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just _38_ our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you _39_? Well, as Apple grew we _40_ someone who I thought was very talented to _41_ the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge (分歧) and _42_ we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors _43_with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. _44_ had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating（毁灭性的）. I really didnt know what to do for a few months. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to _45_ for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to _46_ on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been _47_, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didnt see it then, but it _48_ that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the _49_ of being a _50_ again, less sure about everything. It freed me to _51_ one of the most creative periods of my life. Im pretty sure _ _52_ of this would have happened if I hadnt been fired from Apple. It was _53_ tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Dont lose _54_. Im convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. If you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont _55_. As with all matters of the heart, youll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. By Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer1. A. grownB. begun C. removedD. kept2.
