“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my __ 36 __ took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was __ 37 __ to more, my interests in the world of dance __ 38 __ varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a __ 39 __ in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a __ 40 __; I became a member of the company __ 41 __ back to 1925. As I look back on that day now, it surely __ 42 __ any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief __ 43 __ I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day. I never actually __ 44 __ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __ 45 __. I remember shaking with excitement. Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance, it did not come without its fair share of __ 46 __.

It is that extreme __ 48 __ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __ 49 __. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals __ 50 __ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __ 51 __ of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical __ 52 __ were pushed much further than I thought __ 53 __. I learned to make each performance better than the last. Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __ 54 __ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __ 55 __ that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams. 小题1: A．hobby B．plan C．dream D．word 小题2: A．connected B．expanded C．exposed D．extended 小题3: A．rarely B．certainly C．probably D．consistently 小题4: A．director B．trainer C．leader D．dancer 小题5: A．symbol B．memory C．truth D．reality 小题6: A．bouncing B．dating C．turning D．tracking 小题7: A．lacks B．adds C．makes D．brings 小题8: A．while B．since C．until D．when 小题9: A．cared B．expected C．asked D．decided 小题10: A．motivated B．relaxed C．convinced D．astonished 小题11: A．challenges B．profits C．advantages D．adventures 小题12: A．put B．mix C．build D．pick 小题13: A．attention B．association C．attraction D．adaptation 小题14: A．apart B．aside C．off D．back 小题15: A．over B．by C．with D．beyond 小题16: A．function B．meaning C．expression D．usage 小题17: A．boundaries B．problems C．barriers D．efforts 小题18: A．necessary B．perfect C．proper D．possible 小题19: A．talent B．honor C．potential D．responsibility 小题20: A．victory B．trend C．tradition D．desire
