What do you want to be in the future? Different people have different {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (opinion). Let's have a look {#blank#}2{#/blank#} what the students at Green High School think of their future jobs.

    Linda is good at Maths, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she wants to be a Maths teacher. She likes Maths so much that she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study) hard on Maths every day, even at weekends. For example, Linda {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (do) Maths exercises while her two brothers were watching TV from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock yesterday evening. She also likes kids very much. So it's the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (good) thing for her to be a teacher.

    Maria is good-looking, and her favourite actor is Jackie Chan. She wants to work with {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (he) as an actress. She takes acting classes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (two) a week. She also joins the Acting Club at school.

    What about Andy? He is very strong and brave. He wants to be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} policeman and catch many thieves. Although it's a little dangerous, he thinks it's very {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (excite).

One day when Picasso was walking along a road, a woman passed by and saw him. She ran to Picasso for a painting as a gift. Picasso smiled and said {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(polite), "I'm sorry, Madam. I have nothing to paint. I am {#blank#}2{#/blank#}/ˈempti/ handed here. I may make you a painting some other time."

However, the woman didn't give up. She {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(keep) on, "Please, I am a big fan of you and I want to meet you for years." Hearing this, Picasso was moved and then took out a small {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of paper and a pen, and began to draw something. Within 10 seconds, Picasso finished {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(draw) and handed it to the woman, "Take this! It's a million-dollar painting."

But the woman thought Picasso was just playing a joke on her. How could it be {#blank#}6{#/blank#}/wɜːθ/ a million dollars just in 10 seconds? So she went to the market and was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(surprise) to learn that it was true.

When meeting Picasso again, she wished she could be his student. She said, "Please teach me so that I can do the same thing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} such a short time."

Picasso smiled and said, "Dear, the drawing I made was not in 10 seconds {#blank#}9{#/blank#} my thirty-year efforts towards the arts!" The woman was speechless.

We fix our eyes on others' {#blank#}10{#/blank#}/səkˈses/ more often than the hard work and patience behind it. If we want to reach it, we need experience and struggle(奋斗).
