Ever since "Mother Nature" gave me life, I expected to grow tall and big.

As a young 1 , I was well protected in the forest. I used to 2 a good time with my friends under the blue sky and 3 the river. Our only purpose was to stand high. My pal, Tim often said, "All I ask for is to be 4 the whole day."

365 days passed and we grew straight. On that day, it was our 5 birthday, people came, moved us from the 6 and put us on their trucks. "I don't want to go!" Tim cried.

After a long journey, we arrived in a completely different place with 7 green. Here we were planted in a line. 8 the wind blew strongly, I could not even open my eyes to see Tim 9 beside me. So we needed enough 10 to grow thicker and higher to stop the wind.

As time went by, we finally 11 much stronger. I could keep my eyes open in the wind! I even found the blue sky was back!

This was no longer a no-man's-land, and hundreds of visitors came here. A man took a picture of us with his 12 . "Thank you. We can enjoy clear days 13 worrying about sand storms." A young girl jumping up and down came over and 14 me. "Thank you," she said. "It's you that have turned the desert into a green land!"

Tim and I smiled at each other, feeling 15 . The sun was shining brightly in the bluer sky.

 语法填空

More than ten years ago, I finished my studies in college. I dreamed of having a job in publishing(出版业). I went for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} interview in a publishing company. I thought it would be a{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (successful). However, I failed. 

Five years passed. I was working as a copywriter, and my job was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (write) a lot of marketing emails. I always worked hard. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the same time, I never stopped doing some reading and practice about {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (published). I still wished for my lucky break(机遇). 

On a Sunday evening, when I was searching a job website, I noticed that a company {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (need) a magazine editor. Not only did the job sound {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (amaze), but it was for the same publishing company that I went to for an interview before. I decided to h another try. I went for an interview, answered every question {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (perfect) and succeeded in getting the job. 

During those years, I've been thinking about a question: {#blank#}9{#/blank#} did I get the job at last? When I didn't pass the interview, I was upset, and never thought I could return to the company five years later. However, I just never wanted to give up, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I kept working towards my dream. All my hard work was meaningful, wasn't it?
