　　　　　　　　　　　　　 If I Were a Boy Again

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance (毅力) more ofen,and never give up a thing. If we want light,we must conquer (征服) darkness.Perseverance can sometimes­__21__genius in its results. “There are only two __22__,” says a proverb, “Who can surmount (到……顶) the pyramids----the eagle and the snail.”

If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of __23__; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two __24__at once.

The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I ofen hear grow-up people say, “I could not pay attention to the book, although I wished to do so”. The reason is that the habit was not__25__in youth.

If I were to__26__my life again,I would pay more attention to the cultivation(培养) of the memory. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately, but memory soon helps__27__, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early__28__to become a power.

If I were a boy again, I’d cultivate courage. Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage; nothing is so cruel and pitiless as cowardice(怯弱). Life is very much like a __29__: if you smile upon it,It smiles back upon you; but if you frown(皱眉) and look doubtful on it, you will get a __30__look in return.

Finally, if I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. I’d still try harder to make others happy.

A young person, especially a female, radiant with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any __21___ at make-up would be self-defeating.

We’ve heard it before-we’ve heard it on the news, from teachers, from parents －children and teenagers today are growing up too fast. There are not too many people that will 　21　 　with that statement. Teenagers are faced with serious problems and decisions at an early age. In fact most teenagers’ daily schedules(日程表)are as 　22　 　as those of an adult’s.

　　 I have been working since I was thirteen, and always in positions　 in which I was working with adults (成年人). I have had to learn to think and 　23　 　like an adult to be taken seriously. So, I count myself as one who has grown up too fast. I just graduated from high school, and have recently spent some time reflecting(反思)on the 　24 　eighteen years－thinking about myself, what I have gained, and what　 goals I have yet to achieve.

　　 We are expected to work hard, get excellent 　25　 , be in a good relationship, and know what we want to do in life. The list goes on and on. But the message is clear: We live in a society today that is 　26　 our childhood. We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy－free. We are expected to 　27 the strict school rules and to excel (擅长)in everything we do.

　　 I’ve known these things for a long time, and knew that they affected me. But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I learned a　 valuable lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work. We had finished a job at a remote(遥远的)site. It was about 11:30 at night, and we had 　gone back to his house. We were talking about the 　28　 　he had been making to his home. One of the things he said was “I 　29　 my basketball hoop(篮圈). ”Then he threw a basketball to me.

　　 I hadn’t held a basketball in five years.

　　 We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 5 minutes. Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time 　30　 like children. Then I realized something: I am still a child. Oh, the law says I’m an adult. But, we are still really and truly children. We all need to have fun once in a while.
