More Than I Had Dreamed Of
From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always 36  my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections,   37  I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it   38  to win a school election. I was   39 .
As I cried in my room that evening, I   40  took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would   41  elections again in my final year at school—and I would win.
I recognized that my   42  had a lot of things in their favor. What were the   43  that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest   44  was the faith I had. I would not allow my   45  appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I   46  my election plans a whole year in advance.
I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to   47  them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful,   48  I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to present a great election   49 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.
The day after the election, when the principal(校長(zhǎng)) announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students   50 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was    51  theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had   52  much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people   53  the way. I had won the   54  and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and    55  their day.

An old man had been working for many years for a town. His job was to clear away natural waste from the pool water in the hills, which made up the lovely river flowing through the town nearby. Quietly and   36 , the old man guarded the hills,  37   the leaves and branches, and cleaned up the dirt that would have   38  and polluted the fresh flow of water . The town soon became a popular attraction for tourists. Elegant swans (天鵝) floated along the clear river and the view was so beautiful   39     words.
Years passed. One evening the town    40   met. As they reviewed the budget, one man’s  41____caught sight of the salary   42   being paid to the seldom seen keeper of the river.

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe. I had been abroad a couple of times，but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind： you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since，I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places，without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.
The point is that the new, the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.
小題1:The author accepted the assignment because _____
A． he had never travelled abroad before
B． he hardly knew any foreign languages
C． he was familiar with any other country in Europe
D． he would learn something new and different by trying
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A． The author had been abroad only twice.
B． The author thought the trip was hard but worthwhile.
C． The author admitted that anything different was terrible.
D． The author must be good at doing research and making interviews.
小題3:We can infer from the text that the author is  _____.
A．a(chǎn)wkwardB．generousC．stubbornD．brave
小題4:What's the best title of the text?
A．An Interesting Trip AbroadB．My First Writing Assignment
C．Ready to Try and ChallengeD．How to Be Daring and Brave
