Rowling had been refused by twelve of them. She was a single mother living on very little money, but she never thought of 46 (give) up writing. She often wrote her stories in cafes whenever her baby daughter 47 (fall) asleep. That experience taught her that patience and hard work always pay off in the end. Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC, is another good example. He spent almost two years 48 (visit) restaurants across America to sell his chicken recipe. It is said that he 49 (hear) the words "no" more than a thousand times before someone finally said yes. His story reminds us that success often comes to those who refuse to stop. These stories teach us an important lesson: we should keep 50 (try) even when things get hard. 51 (face) with difficulties, we'd better break them into small steps and deal with them one by one. Only those who persevere 52 (be) able to reach their dreams in the end. And remember, every 53 (fail) is just one step closer to success. With a strong will, even the longest journey becomes possible. Remember, the road to success is never smooth. 八、写作练习 根据方框内的写作要求及括号内的汉语提示，将文章补充完整。 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Nick因考试失利而情绪低落，向你求助。请你给他写一封回信，安慰并鼓励他，内容包括：表示安慰；讲述你一次克服失败的经历；鼓励他继续努力。 Dear Nick, I'm sorry to hear that you 54.________________________________(考试不及格) last week.
