UNIT 8　LITERATURE　[对应学生课时P262] Ⅰ.完形填空 As a child I found comfort and joy in being creative, so I knew fairly early on in life that I wanted to do something art­related. Later, I knew about a ___1__ who was trained at City & Guilds Art School. I was in total awe of her talent and it really encouraged me to see her breathtakingly ___2__ pieces of art. With that, I visited C & G and ___3__ a woodcarving course. Because I only started carving, I didn' t ___4__ lots of pieces. One of my favourites was my seahorse in oak (橡树); it was my second ___5__ project. It was my first experience with oak and I ___6__ how hard the wood might be. I knew that it was going to really ___7__ me. It took me a good week to ___8__ it but I gave up halfway. When I looked at my unfinished piece, I started to feel ___9__ with it as it just looked so ugly. As my ___10__ came to an end for the Christmas break, I took it home and I probably wouldn't even ___11__ it. Because of COVID­19 I ended up spending Christmas in my own flat, so I decided to take out the seahorse and ___12__ to work on it. Slowly it began to ___13__ and take shape. The end piece was far from a ___14__ example of carving skills, but it taught me a most valuable lesson—not to give up and to keep my ___15__ in control. 1.
