When I was eight, a gentleman came to my orphanage (孤儿院) and taught us how to do working projects.
I remember my first project — a small
1

2
of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a wonder. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to
3

. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always
5
with us.
As the table was not dry from the coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking it to our donnitory. But I was just so
6
and happy that I couldn't wait. I 7
out like a flash, carrying the table, smiling from car to car.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was
8
it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand _ 9 it, she noticed that it was still wet.
"Were you 10
to bring this home?" she asked.
"No, ma'am," I 11
with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was 12
stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
I hid the table in my closet and never
13
it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent, thinking that she would
14
it away.
Thirty years laser at a reunion, I
15
that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to 16 , she asked me to come down to her

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
41
on what I could achieve. She
42
believed that there were no limits that you could
43
whatever you wanted.
I would never forget the following story that she once told me：
A farmer won first
44
at the country fair for his huge radish (小萝卜) that was the exact shape and
45
of a milk bottle.
Many were
46
as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle.
47
one gentleman went up to the farmer and asked the question. The farmer replied, “ It was
48
. I got the seed growing and then I put it into the milk bottle. It had
49
else to go.”
You can use this story as an analogy (比喻) to life－our lives are
50
by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to
51
us, and the goals we give ourselves.
If we only
52
and take no action, then we get no further. But if we
53
, set a goal and take action, then our life takes a
54
shape.
Goals and actions can help us accomplish more in a year than what some people will accomplish in a lifetime. To prove this
55
, read the biographies of
56
people and you will see that goals and actions
57
played a big role in their success.
Remember the
58
of Mary Kay Ash, who said, “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go
59
your mind lets you. Whatever you believe, remember, you can achieve.”
In summary, don’t put yourself in a bottle; in other words, move out of what is
60
and secure if you want to move forward.
41. A. expectations
B. rules
C. limits
D. lines
42. A. truly
B. naturally
C. tightly
D. partly
43. A. win
B. grasp
C. realize
D. achieve

C. position
D. award
