Then I became an agent.

But it wasn’t an easy road. Sometimes I got parts but eventually found my scenes were cut. Once, I had only 81 cents when driving to the final screen test for a new show This Is Us. 11 , my phone rang. It was the producer of the show. “You’re our Kate,” he said.

I 1 . I couldn’t do it. I suddenly felt a sense of 2 and insecurity. The letter was to an old teacher with whom I kept in contact via Facebook comments. For weeks, her Facebook page had 3 me to live my life differently. Her volunteer efforts weren’t huge. 4 , she was doing small, local good deeds. Gradually, she made me 5 my outlook on the world and for some reason, I felt I should let her know how her example 6 influenced my life. I could have easily sent her an email, but that seemed not enough for such an important thank-you. That’s why I ended up 7 the letter. But now here I was, standing before the mailbox, unable to place the envelope inside. What was stopping me? It suddenly struck me that I was afraid of being too nice.

One day a delivery truck dropped off a large 1 system at her house. And the kids discussed the new sound equipment my neighbor had just gotten. Meanwhile, we were living in a house decorated 2 and dressing our kids in second-hand clothes. We lived in 3 . My poor mother-in-law, in town for a visit, got to hear my 4 that night. “I feel so bitter sometimes,” I told her, as we cleared the table after dinner. “I know we’re doing the right thing, living frugally (节俭的), saving money, 5 it feels so hard. There’re so many things I’d like to 6 , so many things I’d like to do, but we just can’t.” She nodded as she folded a cloth napkin in silence.

You two often go out together and take time to focus on your 10 . And that’s a very important thing.” I stopped wiping the table and 11 for a minute. I thought of the movie my husband and I had seen a week earlier. I 12 the bike rides, the hikes and the picnics. Most of all, I remembered how 13 we were together, even after twenty years. How many people can say that? I looked around my home from a new 14 . Our refrigerator was too small for a family of six, but it was 15 filled with delicious food.

After an 1 first year, I noticed her interest fading week by week. Then one day, she slowly walked to me before class and asked if she could just 2 it. My first reaction was to advise her to “finish what you start”. 3 , sticking with something difficult can teach perseverance, discipline and confidence. But watching my first grader 4 herself into each ballet position, I started to question how much 5 that “blanket advice” made. Is it really in my kid’s best 6 , or even practical, to make her stick to every commitment through until she reaches a bitter end? What if there are different but 7 valuable qualities, which can be gained by 8 the things that are not right for her. After a few days’ consideration, she decided dance wasn’t for her — a choice I 9 . Quitting is never a black and white issue. Sometimes, it means 10 a barrier in your way to love something else. In my daughter’s case, ending dance made space for her new hobbies, such as horseback riding and Girl Scouts. She’s into them for now, but it is okay if that 11 changes. As adults, we are accustomed to 12 the power of saying yes, but what about saying no? The ability to recognize when something isn’t an 13 investment of our time or energy is also important. As my daughter gets older, I want her to feel confident to 14 something that’s no longer meeting her needs. She shouldn’t be held back by the thought that she must finish something at any cost 15 because she has started. 1．A．depressing B．independent C．unbearable D．enthusiastic 2．A．make B．join C．skip D．try 3．A．In addition B．At most C．After all D．By contrast 4．A．addict B．expose C．enjoy D．drag 5．A．time B．sense C．energy D．pity 6．A．honor B．help C．interest D．behavior 7．A．hardly B．equally C．partly D．seemingly 8．A．letting go of B．fixing up C．making up for D．looking up 9．A．suspected B．required C．supported D．regretted 10．A．tolerating B．crossing C．challenging D．clearing 11．A．even B．still C．once D．yet 12．A．stressing B．experiencing C．warning D．ignoring 13．A．appropriate B．unfair C．extra D．informal 14．A．decorate B．abandon C．treasure D．practise 15．A．slightly B．roughly C．nearly D．merely （22-23高二上·江苏苏州·期中）It was on my 30th birthday. When I came back, my mother was 1 herself proudly in her usual chair, with two shirt boxes 2 blue paper and a pink card in front of her. “Happy birthday!” she said, 3 at the boxes. “Open them.” My mom had got me 4 what I wanted, as she always knows me. I hugged and thanked her and 5 to eat the chocolate cake. “High calories, I shouldn’t have done that,” I said, not really caring. Mom waved off my put-on 6 and laughed.

My parents were not the type of people to give money to me 2 , or even for workdone at home.

In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like 1 in zero gravity. However, without 2 , there are also plenty of things astronauts can’t do, and that’s very 3 . What’s worse, they can’t even let their sadness show — because it’s impossible to 4 in zero gravity. Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space. Because of their 5 environment, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes. This 6 that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go — they just 7 there. In May 2011, astronaut Andrew J. Feustel 8 this during one of his spacewalks. Besides making your 9 unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring 10 to the eyes. But that’s not the case in space. “My right eye is painful like crazy,” Feustel told his teammate during the walk. Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel 11 to rub (擦) his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait. “When the tears get big enough they 12 break free of the eye and float around,” astronaut Ron Parise said. In space, astronauts can’t eat or drink in 13 ways. Nor can they talk to each other directly. They can’t even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food 14 in their stomach. If they do burp, they just 15 throwing up everything in their stomach.

In high school, for example, I joined the soccer team for a year, ending up as a 241 . In 2020, I was in a difficult stage of life and wanted something to fight for. Therefore, though I’d never run even 5 kilometers before, I entered the lottery (抽签) to run a marathon, a 242 where only a small number of people are randomly selected. Somehow, my name was 243 . I figured the only way to finish the 42 kilometers was to start by running just one. But even one kilometer proved too hard, so I adjusted the 244 . I ran several minutes at a time, and then walked to catch my 245 . I repeated that for months. Besides, I read books, talked to friends and found coaches. Step by step, I became a 246 . Then the 247 day came when I showed up at the starting line with other competitors. Did I win? Certainly not! Did I run 42 kilometers, cross the finishing line joyfully and receive my medal proudly? 248 ! Last year I decided to 249 my own business: a performing arts training centre for kids. I’ve always loved kids and arts, but I was 250 of business. Nevertheless, because of the marathon, I had a model for how to 251 it—step by step. So, again: I read books, talked to friends and found 252 . Through it all, I became a successful entrepreneur.
