课时作业(十九) 议论文、记叙文、夹叙夹议文
Test 1
(2013·福建省部分一级达标学校联考)
My grandmother was always encouraging me to set goals and work hard to achieve them.She would tell me not to be a follower and not to set__36__on what I could achieve.She__37__believed that there were no limits that you could__38__whatever you wanted.
I would never forget the following story that she once told me：
A farmer won first__39__at the country fair for his huge radish (小萝卜) that was the exact shape and__40__of a milk bottle.
Many were __41__as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle.
__42__one gentleman went up to the farmer and asked the question.The farmer replied，“It was__43__.I got the seed growing and then I put it into the milk bottle.It had__44__else to go.”
You can use this story as an analogy (比喻) to life—our lives are__45__by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in，the people that we allow to__46__us，and the goals we give ourselves.
If we only __47__and take no action then we get no further.But if we__48__，set a goal and take action then our life takes a__49__shape.
Goals and actions can help us accomplish more in a year than what some people will accomplish in a lifetime.To prove this__50__，read the biographies of__51__people and you will see that goals and actions __52__played a big role in their success.
Remember the __53__of Mary Kay Ash，who said，“Don’t limit yourself.Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do.You can go __54__your mind lets you.What you believe，remember，you can achieve.”
In summary，don’t put yourself in a bottle；in other words move out of what is__55__and secure if you want to move forward.
