Additionally, so good at English am I that I have successfully organised several English parties,     4     (给我的老师和同学们留下了深刻的印象).

I am afraid that the kids from other schools will     3     (对我评头论足).” Although a brain disease prevented him from walking or running like other children, his classmates viewed him as a regular kid and     4     (钦佩他令人惊奇的意志力). Finally,     5     (使我惊喜的是) he promised to run and he swung his feet toward the starting line.

When seeing a rabbit,     1     (我和爸爸决定追它). So swift was it that it disappeared in the forest. Not until then did we realize that the last ray of twilight was quickly disappearing among the numerous trees. Lost, I     2     (一身冷汗) from extreme horror and I     3     (几乎要崩溃了). I said in a trembling voice, “Dad,     4     (我们怎样才能解决这个困境呢)?” Dad murmured, “    5     (不要灰心！不要放弃!) We will     6     (会成功到达农舍的)!”

Not only did it provide a chance for us to strengthen our fitness, but it also     7     (对所有比赛者有很大影响).

While studying at home, I     1     (负责一个调查) on “self­discipline” .     2     (我发现我的大多数同学很难集中精力听课). Some were addicted to cellphone games; some     3     (喜爱网络小说), others just didn’t get used to online courses. To deal with the problem, I asked my parents for help. They recommended I     4     (hold) an online discussion with my classmates on how to well discipline ourselves. After that, we all knew better what to do     5     (以至于一切很顺利). Three months later, I did a second survey, which showed great improvements in self­discipline.

In the morning,    1     (按照所安排的), the twins got up early, tiptoed to the kitchen and scooped some flour out of the bag. Once they set about making bread,    2     (感到迷惑). At that time, their father slid into the kitchen, patted the twins’ shoulders and comforted them in a soft voice, “    3     (不要放弃，你们可以战胜这个挑战).” The twins made the bread smoothly. Then they carried the breakfast,    4     (向楼上走去，喊醒他们的妈妈).With her eyes glittering with excitement, the mother       5     (是如此满足，她紧紧地抱住孩子们).

Since I was born into a family of shepherds, my father     1     (理所当然地认为) I would be a shepherd too, but I didn’t think so. When I was a teenager, I watched a TV programme—Dunhuang and Its Glorious History and from then on a thought crept into my mind that I wanted to     2     (成为一名历史学家). My father happened to take me to Dunhuang once, and it was then that I    3     (坚定我的决心). The murals, the statues, and the scrolls in the grottos were very attractive to me.     4     (虽然我不是一个天才), I hold the firm belief that where there is a will, there is a way.

Tony, a trainee in an international company,     1     (下定决心要被公司正式录取) one day. He worked hard, never     2     (放过任何机会) to show his abilities. Fortunately, what he did was recognized by the person in charge, making it possible for him to realize his dream.     3       (最终), there came the test. Although Tony thought he     4     (能胜任这个职位), he felt like sitting on pins and needles. After     5       (权衡) in his mind, the person in charge announced the news that Tony who was thoughtful and capable was officially employed.

One day, I     1     (正在街上闲逛) when I saw an advertisement about adult education classes. As a 78­year­old man, I raised my head, wore a smile, and     2     (稳稳地走进了教师办公室 ).“    3     (很抱歉打扰您), but I want to sign up for the class,” I said. A woman teacher well past forty, widened her eyes, surprise written all over her face. “Of course, gentleman, welcome, ” she responded after a pause. “Come with me, please!” Entering the classroom, I sat down and felt a sense of pride. “    4     (对于一个真正的学习者来说，学习永远都不会太晚),” I whispered to myself.

Looking at the breakfast, the mother was dominated with profound happiness. She imagined     1     (她的两个孩子付出了多么艰苦的努力), knowing it’s an ambitious task for them.     2     (没有什么比他们对她的感情和爱更珍贵的了). The twins were eagerly staring at her,     3     (希望听到她的赞扬). She sat at the table, took a bite of the bread, and shook her head, pretending she didn’t like the food. After seeing the expressions of the children, she suddenly acclaimed, “Excellent! I’m the happiest mother in the world.”     4     (选择了一个漂亮的姿势), they took a photograph and posted it on the Internet.
