When I was 15, I said to my class that I was going to write my own books. All the students nearly fell out of their chairs,1 me. "Don't be silly. Only geniuses(天才) can become writers. And you are getting a D this term." I was deeply2 and I couldn't help crying.

That night I wrote a short, sad poem about my 3 dreams and mailed it to the WeeklyNewspaper. To my surprise, they published(发表) it, and sent me two dollars. I was a paid writer! I 4 it to my classmates. They laughed again. "Just luck." they said. However, I had tasted success. Because my first poem 5 published.

    By the time I graduated from high school, I had collected all my published works together. But I 6 talked about my writing to my classmates again. They were 7 killers. And people must always keep on their own dreams by 8.

Later, I wrote a book about 9 I understood and felt about my life. It 10 me nine months to finish it. I chose a publisher(出版商) and mailed my book. I wrote a note 11 it, "I wrote this book myself. I hope you will like it. Thank you."

If someone said they'd pay you $1,800 to stay off social media(社交媒体) for 6 years, would you do it? Could you? An American mom challenged her son to do just that, and he succeeded.

Sivert Klefsaas is the youngest of Lomna Gold-strand Klefsaas'four children, and his three older sisters all used social media growing up. It was influencing their feelings, as well as their friendships. So, Lorna thought, "If I could, I'd be willing to do whatever to keep Sivert off social media as long as I could, whatever that looks like." And that's where the idea for this challenge came from. 

It all started when Lora heard about a similar "16 for 16 challenge" on the radio, where a mother called Amanda Green gave her daughter Teresa $1,600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media. So, Lorna decided to create her own "18 for 18 challenge". Not only did Sivert finally complete this challenge, but he would do it again, too.

"It wasn't too difficult to live without social media, and I didn't think about it much during the 6 years," Sivert said. "As time went on, it was more of a pride thing."

He had his friends keep him up to date on the latest information. Sivert added, "I got to avoid all the unnecessary things that were on there. It also meant I had more time to focus on my grades and sports instead."

Now that he's done with the challenge, Sivert joined Instagram(照片墙), but has no plans to let social media define (定义) him. 

"Social media is great. We certainly need to use it," Sivert said. "But also make sure you spend time in other areas of your life, especially those personal relationships."

Still, Lorna is proud of her son's success. "We are certainly not against social media, but it's the healthy using of it," Lorna told CNN.

 阅读短文,理解其大意,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

At just age 16, Zhen Xin, from Beijing, finished the "Five Great Mountains Challenge" in August—in only five days. She became the 1 person to do it.

The Five Great Mountains Challenge is about climbing China's five greatest mountains—Taishan Mountain in Shandong, Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi, Songshan Mountain in Henan, Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi, and Hengshan Mountain in Hunan—in 100 days.

2 the hot August weather, Zhen did most of her hiking at night."When you can't see what's coming next, many of your3 and worries go away, You're less likely to back down," Zhen explained.

Zhen said the key 4 hiking is one's mentality. Whenever she came across a vendor booth(货摊) along the hiking road, she would 5 herself to carry on until the next one. And whenever she felt she was about to 6 she would reward herself with a drink or some snacks.

Of all the moutains she climbed, Huashan Mountain stood out as her favorite due to its steeper trails(更陡峭的小径). " They're more 7 than those of the other four mountains," she said. But instead of making her afraid, the challenge 8  her concentration(专注力)。

However, Zhen said the most daunting(令人生畏) like was climbing Taishan Mountain. It was due to the largest tourist rush she had ever seen. "We could only move up one step every five 9 or so, " she recalled.

Zhen decided to climb the five great mountains when she finished middle school. "I wanted something that would allow me to 10 see my growth and changes over time. As I grow older, I want something to share with others," she said.

One autumn afternoon, Maddie was moving her towel at the window."I wish I didn't have to wash these windows," she said 1 ."I think washing windows is the worst housework in the world."

As she washed her towel into the buckets (水桶) again, Maddie saw Mr. Smith, her 2 . standing in his front yard (院子) next door. He looked so 3 .

" Mr. Smith," Maddie called," How are you?"

" Well, Maddie, but I have to rake(用耙子耙) these leaves (叶子)," Mr. Smith said." Raking is the 4 housework for me."

"I' ll ra ke them for you," Maddie said happily."I5 building piles(堆) of fallen yello w leaves."

" You would do that for me, Maddie?" Mr. Smith asked.

" Sure," Maddie answered."I'd be glad to 6 . I' ll finish washing my windows later."

" Thank you," Mr. Smith said, handing Maddie the rake."I really 7 the help." Then he went away.

Maddie raked and finally got all of her small leaves together into one high mountain." It's time to wash my 8 ." she thought. But when she reached her yard, she 9 .

Tom, her neighbor, was standing there, facing the living room window." What is Tom doing?" she thought.

" He's 10 the windows!" she suddenly realized.

" Tom, why are you washing 11 windows?" Maddie asked.

Hearing Maddie's loud voice, Tom was 12 . He turned around and said," Oh, after I came back, I saw Mr. Smith washing my clothes in my yard. I asked him what I could do for him. Then he remembered you didn't finish cleaning your windows 13 you were raking his leaves."

" And I", Tom said," love to wash windows,"

Maddie laughed."I guess there's 14 for everyone," she said." Thank you for doing my windows, Tom. The housework chain(联手) is really 15 !"
