One day, when Bill was  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   home from school, he heard a noise coming from the bushes（灌木）.He went over to see   {#blank#}2{#/blank#}    it was. Behind a bush, he found a black dog. Bill went back home as soon as he  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}    with the dog and showed her to his parents. Bill's dad found that the dog had a broken leg,   {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  they brought the dog to a doctor for animals by car. On the  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Bill's parents decided that Bill could keep the dog if they couldn't find the owner.

      When they arrived,the doctor checked the dog. He told  Bill that she {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  going to have babies! The next day, Bill   {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  signs（牌子）like “FOUND DOG BLACK” around his neighborhood. He   {#blank#}8{#/blank#}   wrote his family's phone number on the signs.
    Two days later, Bill got a call  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the owner of the dog. The owner thanked Bill. When he came to pick up his dog, he said Bill could have    {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  of the babies. Bill was very happy! Finally Bill got a baby dog from the owner. He named him Rosco and liked him very much.

    A female swimming athlete once set a goal ( 目标) for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channael before she retired. If she could succeed, she would be the first person in the world {#blank#}1{#/blank#} did it. On that day ,she jumped into the sea without any hesitation(犹豫) and swam towards the opposite bank without any {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} , she still carried on swimming. But in the end, she gave up. And she didn't know that the opposite bank was only one mile away when she gave up.

    Later she was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} about the reason. And she said, "The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the place which I was going to reach  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}" It was a great pity that one mile broke her dream.

    Since we were young {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , too many success stories have been telling us about courage and persistence(坚持). But they never told us where to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} courage and persistence. You can only have courage when you know where your goal is. You can only manage to persist when you know where your goal is.

    And that's because when you know where your goal is, you can, only prepare {#blank#}8{#/blank#} well in the mind. Courage and persistence never {#blank#}9{#/blank#} from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output.

    A life without goal is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals.

It's time for class. You {#blank#}1{#/blank#} stop playing football or you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} be late for class.
