My dream school starts at 8: 30 a. m. and ends at 3:30 p. m. They are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We didn't need to do so many homework. Therefore, we have more time with afterschool activities. For example, we can do reading for one and a half hour and play sports for one hour every day.

My dream school look like a big garden. There are all kinds of the flowers and trees around the classroom buildings. We can lie on the grass for a rest, or sat by the lake listening music. The teachers here are kind and helpfully. They are not only our teachers but also our friends.

3 . When I was still a child, I read “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” by Ernest Hemingway. Reading it for the first time gave me a strong ______to see this well-known mountain______.

Then in my early 20s, I   ______   a man who had been to Kenya. He saw and described Kilimanjaro as a mountain standing by itself in the middle of the African plain, ______ by ice on its summit (山顶). This______my desire to see the mountain with my own eyes, and perhaps even climb it.

About 10 years later, I travelled to Havana, Cuba and spent some time______the home of Ernest Hemingway. This trip______my love for “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”. This was a______of my soul, and the ______ , and desires I had so long ago as a(n)______. It was at this moment that I______I was going to climb Kilimanjaro.

Vancouver to Africa is a great______, so I decided to put some add-ons to my planned______. The first would be an expedition ( 探 险 ) across the Sahara Desert,______by travelling up the source of the Nile. It would finish at my______goal of Kilimanjaro. This would be a journey to______: to cross the world’s greatest desert, ______the river that moves through one of the cradles of civilization, and climb the tallest mountain in Africa.

After ending the journey, I wrote a novel which______this trip, sharing how much I enjoyed each moment of it, and how______each day became on its own. This remarkable and special journey will be ______ in my heart.

4 . “Mama，when I grow up，I’m going to be one of those！” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three.It was the first time that my______took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training.As I grew older and was______to more，my interests in the world of dance______varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a______in the company never left me.In the summer of 2005 when I was 18，I received the phone call which made that dream a______； I became a member of the company______back to 1925.

As I look back on that day now，it surely______any sense of reality.I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief______I was halfway through rehearsals(排练) on my first day.I never actually______to get the job.After being offered the position，I was completely______.I remember shaking with excitement.

Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change，it did not come without its fair share of______.Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week，I found it vital to______up the material fast with every last bit of concentration.It is that extreme______to detail(细节) and stress on practice that set us______.To then follow those high­energy rehearsals______a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day，I discovered a new______of the words “hard work”．What I thought were my physical______were pushed much further than I thought______.I learned to make each performance better than the last.

Today，when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great______of being a part of，not only as a member，but as a dance captain，I see a______that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow—and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.

Throughout history, there are many successful people in the world,     1     Newton who made great     2    (achieve) in Physics, and Darwin who devoted all his life to biology. And I want to follow in     3    (they) footsteps and become successful. How can I realize my dream?

First of all, there is no doubt that I must study hard from now on. The harder I study, the greater progress I will make and     4    (close) I will get to success. Secondly, I must be a helpful person,     5    (try) my best to help others out and earning their respect. For me, helping others is a satisfactory thing and I will not hesitate     6    (give) others a hand     7     they are in trouble. Eventually, I should make good use of my time, and finish my work on time. Actually, being     8    (punctuality) is a quality that great minds need.

Everybody has a dream, and so     9     I. I dream to be successful. Whether it is difficult to come true or not, I will do everything I can to make it, because I have     10     but a heart of being successful.

My aim in life is to save the environment for future generations. I want to become     1     environmental consultant after I graduate. Too many people think that pollution cannot be     2     (stop) if we want the country to develop. But that is not true. We can cut back     3     dangerous and dirty waste from factories. Even though a factory produces a large quantity of goods, it does not mean that it has to pump a lot of pollution into the environment.

I want to teach people     4     (buy) products that have been recycled, as well. This is much better for the environment,     5     it means we do not need to cut down as many trees. Companies and businesses can still operate,     6     the Earth will not have to suffer.

There is no debating that we also have a problem with population. The number of people in the world     7     (keep) growing, and we are producing more rubbish and     8     (use) up more raw materials. What if they run out? I am confident that if we are all     9     (will) to work together, we can overcome these challenges and keep the Earth clean and     10     (health).
