　　“Life is not easy for any of us. We must have perseverance (毅力), and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for

　　1

　　and that this thing must be

　　2

　　.” —— Marie Curie.

　　I believe this

　　3

　　is true. In some cases life can be difficult to persevere because you may

　　4

　　at any moment. Some people don’t like to make their ways forward and keep going. Sometimes it is most comfortable to

　　5

　　. These people often turn in the wrong direction. I

　　6

　　that as long as they persevere, they can get through the challenges and

　　7

　　reach their goal.

　　When in Grade 8，I was assigned to

　　8

　　a literary essay on each Friday. The task was very challenging, and I couldn’t find time to both read books and write an essay about it. I

　　9

　　wish I would have tried harder and put as much

　　10

　　into the essay as possible. I always seemed to be close to writing a successful essay.

　　However, I

　　11

　　consult related materials needed and often made it harder on myself. The essay I wrote first was a

　　12

　　. This made me realize that what I had done was not enough and I must change my

　　13

　　and try my very best. Before writing I’d looked through a lot of books related to my essay. Gathering materials in the library was very

　　14

　　, but I never gave up. Because I made good preparations, my essay was well written. For that I was

　　15

　　by my teacher.

　　I see perseverance in many

　　16

　　people around me. They have abilities to complete tasks on time, regardless of how much they

　　17

　　them. I hope that in the future I will be able to persevere more frequently and

　　18

　　. I believe working hard will pay off. Now I’m on my way to becoming a writer. I know realizing my goal isn’t

　　19

　　, and it takes determination and effort. However, I believe if I keep up my

　　20

　　and persevere, I’ll probably make it come true.

　　I may not be a movie star or billionaire when I grow up. But one thing I will be known for, at least locally, is commuting（通勤） by bicycle. It’s

　　1

　　to see how few people do

　　2

　　many could. Lots of people

　　3

　　and campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gasses, but by driving cars, they’re still

　　4

　　the problem.

　　Actually, my interest in the

　　5

　　, health, and cost led me to cycling.

　　Bicycle commuting is a great

　　6

　　to cut greenhouse gasses. Many environmentalists

　　7

　　trees and recycle actively,

　　8

　　bicycle commuting could be even more effective than

　　9

　　of those combined.

　　10

　　shaving off a few pounds of carbon dioxide emissions （排放物）every year, you could

　　11

　　hundreds of pounds of CO2 just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week.

　　Cycling is also good for your health. It can help you lose

　　12

　　, since it works the two biggest muscles of your body. Bicycling improves your cardiovascular（心血管的） health, which can

　　13

　　many diseases. Cycling burns calories and is a low-impact sport, meaning it carries a relatively low

　　14

　　of stress injury（应激损伤）, unlike running.

　　15

　　, bicycle commuting saves money. When you buy your first road bike, helmet, and accessories, you might be shocked by the

　　16

　　. But considering rising gas prices, you can save a(n)

　　17

　　amount of money each year by not driving a car.

　　You might be thinking, I don’t have

　　18

　　for bicycle commuting.

　　19

　　, you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity that helps you get

　　20

　　, have fun, and care for the environment.

　　Cycling is very sensible. You can get in shape, save money, and help fight greenhouse gas emissions, all during your commute. How’s that for multitasking?
