My dream is to become an orthodontist, fly to new heights, and impact the world. Ever since the day I got braces(牙箍), I have thought about how    it would be for me to become an orthodontist and make other    like me have more beautiful smiles. The thought of helping other people overcome the fear of their    or self-esteem became so real to me the day that I got my    off two years later. After a long thought, I finally came to a(n)    that I wanted to do my senior exit project on orthodontics. I am in the      of doing my project now and I cannot wait to see the wonderful    that I’m going to achieve. In the long run, I know it will be a great       to me down the road, opening doors to my     path. Another goal in my life is to fly to new    and go where no one else has    to go before. I am a big leader at my school and I try to do new things that are    in order to make things successful. I try to reach to the highest in order to make every event and idea      “with a bang!” I also want to do things to      the world somewhere down the road. After seeing friends go into    , I have thought about being a      missionary(传教士) in a third world country for a couple of summers after I       from the high school. I think it would be     to impact the lives of powerless and torn people who need     that seems unimaginable to them. I think     more people reached out and conquered their dreams to help other people achieve theirs, this world would be a whole lot better of a place.

试题【My dream is to become an orthodontist, fly to new heights, and impact the world.】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. He took the only escape route—through the boot.
Mr. Johnson’s car had ended up in a ditch at Romney Marsin, Kent after he lost proper control on ice and hit a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors open because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench (扳手) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and climbed up clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised, Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
小题1:Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?
A.The hammer.B.The coin. C.The seat. D.The horn.
小题2:We know from the passage that ______.
A.Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down
B.Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road
C.Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat
D.Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam
小题3:“Finally it gave” in Paragraph 5 means that ______. 
A.at last the wrench went broken
B.the chance was lost at the last minute
C.the lock came open after all his efforts
D.luckily the door was torn away in the end
小题4:What is the best title for this newspaper article?
A.Driver Escapes through Car Boot
B.The Story of Mr. Johnson, a Sweet Salesman
C.The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident
D.Car Boot Can Serve as the Best Escape Route

Our bedroom has no full-length mirror. There is one at the canteen entrance. I always cherish a secret desire to take a glance before it at myself in a beautiful new dress. However, each time when it comes to the fulfillment, I get seized with such an uneasiness that I literally stagger(踉跄) away—backing out at the critical moment.
At the root of it is my lack of confidence by which I have been enslaved since childhood. It embarrasses me at the mildest praise, crushes my utmost efforts to say “No”, and prevents me from asking my parents for one cent more than necessary. Among other things, lack of confidence has wormed its way into my love of piano.
At the age of 14, one Sunday morning, I was woken up by a resounding hymn(洪亮的圣歌). Tracing that call of God into a neighboring church, I found myself deeply attracted by the melody of a piano—something beyond the means of my parents. To make it worse, people say a pianist is supposed to have music in the blood, but I believe I had none from my engineer father and technician mother. For days on end, I kept thinking of nothing else. I had a dream.
It wasn’t a dream after gold, which made some of my close friends to engage in business as self-employed traders or street peddlers. I was sometimes dazzled by their gold rings or elegant necklaces behind which, however, I seemed to catch sight of skeletons in their cupboards and was frightened away from the craze for fortunate. Out of despair, I kept it to myself, lack of confidence weighing heavy on me. I could do nothing but turn to my dream for comfort, for courage to aim high and wish for the impossible. I was convinced that before I could afford anything expensive (to me, it was a piano), I should climb up the academic ladder as high as possible.
For the next nine years, I carefully held back my desire for music to keep my search for learning, especially in English studies. My efforts were so rewarding that I went successfully through high school and college in my hometown. When I received the admission notice for a second degree course at a famous university in Beijing, the national capital, tears welled up in my eyes. I knew my command of English was my wealth, for I might make a deal with a pianist who would give me access to his piano in exchange for English lessons. And that has come true!
To this day, whenever I lay my fingers on the snow-white keyboard, ready for a melody, I still feel shy. I am quite aware of my limited music talent, but as a shy dreamer, I have found my way to success.
小题1:According to the first two paragraphs, we can learn that the writer is __________.
A.helplessB.shyC.honestD.considerate
小题2: Why did the writer say her desire for the piano was a dream in the third paragraph?
a. Her parents couldn’t afford a piano.
b. Her parents didn’t want her to engage in music.
c. She thought she had no gift for music.
d. She could do nothing but accept the reality.
A.a, bB.c, dC.a, cD.b, d
小题3: How did the writer make her dream of playing the piano come true?
A.She turned to her friends for financial aid.
B.She taught English in exchange for piano lessons.
C.She was admitted to a university for a second degree course in music.
D.She earned money by doing a part-time job to pay for her piano lessons.
小题4: What can we learn from the writer’s example?
A.Wealth always comes after a great effort.
B.Confidence is a key factor in success.
C.We should be academically successful before other achievements.
D.We should make every effort to turn a dream into reality.

My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money! 
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.
One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner, “ Am I going to die?” He replied, “Finally.”
