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.

⑴The movie is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. No one wants to see it.

⑵People will be {#blank#}2{#/blank#} if they do the same jobs all the time.

    Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Lanzhou, especially in places where traffic is heavy and crossing the road is very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    The purpose of these overhead bridges is to enable passengers to cross the road {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Overhead bridges are used in the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient {#blank#}3{#/blank#} less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient, especially to old people. When passengers are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help passengers and to keep traffic moving {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the same time.

    The government of Lanzhou has {#blank#}6{#/blank#} lots of money in building these bridges. For their own safety, passengers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by running across the road. Old people, however, may find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a little difficult to climb up and down the steps, but it is still {#blank#}9{#/blank#} safer than walking across the road.

    Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Passengers, both old and young, should make a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of using them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.
