【推荐1】Over the past 20 years, I have watched the Lion King for more than a dozen of times．

When I first watched the movie, the _________ of Mufasa's death made me﹣a six﹣year﹣old girl at that time﹣cry, and since then, I have always skipped（跳过） that part．Later on, during my middle﹣school years, I liked the love story part a lot, and Simba and Nala were really a _________ couple in my heart．Every time I watched the movie, I felt _________．

Recently, I've watched the Lion King again.This time, what impressed me most was the_________of Pumbaa and Timon﹣they were ordinary and lived an ordinary life．Before joining Simba to regain his kingdom,   all about their life were eating and singing．

To me, the best lesson that Pumbaa and Timon have taught us is that_________ they know they are ordinary and their life is ordinary, they still love and enjoy it．

In fact, in the real world, only quite a few people can achieve great things and become extraordinary, and the rest of us will just live our _________ life．

A sentence in an article recommended by the Fair（WeChat Subscription）___________me: by hard work, ordinary people only fight for the right to_________ their ordinary life in the ordinary world．It is cruel, but it is true（at least in my opinion）．

The best solution is to accept and enjoy it．I know it's_________ but this is a part of growing up．I'm not saying that we should not have great dreams,   after all,   just as Vince Lombardi has said, "Perfection is not attainable （可达到的）, but if we chase perfection we can ____________ excellence"．However, I just think we should get ____________ if our great dreams would never come true．

I also dreamt about becoming extraordinary at a young age, same as most of my fellow classmates in primary school．In the senior high school, I was no longer one of the top students, and then, for the very first time, I realized that maybe I couldn't be extraordinary．

Now, I'm well aware that I'm no more than an ordinary person but I'm ____________with that I went to an ordinary university and got my BA in English, and then to another ordinary university and received my MA in translation．Doing the editor's job, I now earn myself a life in Shanghai, such an expensive metropolitan city to live in．

I can't ____________ Michael Kors or Issey Miyake, but I have comfortable clothes which fit me well．I usually go out dinner with a couple of friends on weekends,   not fancy of first class restaurants but sidewalk café or common restaurants where we know there are delicious food and nice ____________．

I consider this not the passive acceptance, but a（n）optimistic attitude of turning "this is life" to "this is the life"．But all in all, I still have ____________, just in case they would become true one day．

Yes, be ordinary and be happy．

Smiling is the best way of making friends.

When I was thirteen ________ old, my father found a job in the city. So my family moved there. I also came to a new school near where we live. At first, I didn’t know anyone in my class. I felt very ________, and afraid to make friends with my classmates. I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn’t want my parents to ________ me.

Then one day, something good ________ . I was sitting at my desk in silence while my classmates were talking ________ with each other. At that moment, a ________ came into the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, smiled. Suddenly, I felt happy, lively and ________ . That smile ________ my life. I started to talk with the other classmates and made friends. Day ________ day, I became closer to everyone in my class.

Thanks to the smile, I have moved on to a new life. Now, I believe that the world is what you think it is. So ________ at the world and it will smile back.

【推荐2】The Fish I Didn’t Catch

fishing pole                  hook

I still remember my first fishing trip as if it were yesterday. It was a sweet day of early summer. I received the first fishing pole from my uncle’s hand, and walked with him towards the ________ .

My uncle, who knew where the best place of fish was, kindly placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and ________ eagerly for a bite. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said my uncle. Suddenly the bait (鱼饵) went down out of ________ . “Now for it,” I thought, “Here is a fish at last.”

I made a strong pull, and brought up a tangle of weeds (一团海草). Again and again I cast out my line and drew it back ________ . I looked at my uncle appealingly (可怜巴巴地) . “Try once more,” he said, “We fishermen must have ________ . It took me a whole day until I got my first fish.”

Suddenly something pulled hard at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Jerking it up, I saw a big fish wriggling (扭来扭去) in the sun. “Uncle!” I cried, looking back in ________ , “I’ve got a fish!” “Not yet,” said my uncle. As he spoke, there was a plash (泼溅) in the water, my hook hung empty from the line. I had lost my ________ . My patience was used up.

I sat down on the nearest stone and ________ to be comforted. Even my uncle promised that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, put the pole again in my hands, and told me to try my luck once more.

“But remember, boy,” he said, “Never ________ catching a fish until he is on dry ground.”

Though years have now passed, I have always been reminded of the fish that I did not catch. When I hear people talk excitedly about something yet undone, I call to mind that scene by the river, and the wise warning of my uncle, “It’s no use to talk too ______ about anything until it’s done.”
