I began to notice her at other times, basketball 3 , playing alone . She would practice dribbling（运球）and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her 4 she practiced so much. She looked 5　 in my eyes and without a moment of　 6　 she said, ‘‘I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a（an） 7　 ,I am going to go to college to play basketball. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t 　8 . ”

Well, I had to 　 9 to her.—she was determined. One day, I saw her sitting in the grass, head 　10 in her arms. I walked toward her and quietly asked what was the matter. ‘‘Oh, nothing, "came a soft reply. ‘‘I am just too　 11 . ”The coach told her that at her height it was 　 12 for her to get to play for a top ranked team much 13 offered a scholarship. So she should stop dreaming about college.

She was heartbroken and I　 14 her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were 15　 .

They just did not understand the 　16　 of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she really wanted a scholarship, 　17 could stop her except one thing—her own　 18 .

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with    1   . If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be able to take    2   . You must first go    3    there are people. You won't make friends staying home alone.

       4    a club or a group, for talking with those who    5    the same interests as you do is easier.    6    join someone in some activity.

    Many people are    7    when talking to people.    8    meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it's human    9    to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

    Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from    10    about ourselves. We 11    other people are judging us, find us too small or too short, too this or too that.    12  don't forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself    13    you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You'll never feel more    14   .

    Try to act self-confident even if you don't feel that way when you enter a room full of    15 such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look    16    at other people and smile. If you see someone you'd like to speak, to    17    something to, don't wait for the other person to start a conversation.

    Just meeting someone    18    doesn't mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is    19    on mutual liking and “give and take”. They take time and    20    to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the   1   side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to   2   in good health, or   3   about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to   4   damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text   5   the title. Therefore, the scissors（剪刀）would

   6   before they start,   7   halfway done when I find out the   8   result.

　　Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your   9   . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be   10   up. But you know the future is unpredictable（不可预料）—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left   11   . Thus you are   12   in a difficult position and feel sad. How   13   that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   14   greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.

　　In fact that is what   15   is like: we are often   16   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only   17   we get into another. The   18   may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I   19   remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual（不经意）  20   may not be a bad one.
