What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success       only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways         not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and        surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really       because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition, Thinking that I might be lucky again, I        joining in other art competitions, But the result was that I         won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a        artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the        I produced were not of a very high standard(水平).
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky         , I also need to put in hard work. As we know,       makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.

“Never give up!” It is my law of life. It has brought me       . I learned the law from my father’s          story.
My father was          in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then          in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework           midnight. Life was hard, because they had no         !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where          people can become rich.
“         don’t I go to America?”he thought to himself, full of hope.
So my father came to America. “I had thought it was easy to         money in America,”he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire me because I spoke         English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables,       dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was        for the first few years. I worked from 10 am to 11 pm. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t         the schooling.”
My father         working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,”he often says to me. “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come          in life.”That is what I learned from my father.

If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life. This is the surprising         of a British cook.
One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and         a snake appeared ... and bit him on the hand.
A few days earlier, the snake came to the         from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and         under the dish.
“I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again, I threw it         the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door,” Mr. Jackson said.

Then Mr. Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors         it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr. Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day.
