一、完形填空（共20小题，每题2分，共40分）

Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debt by going to college, and then I would be __41__ to get a job to pay off that debt, while still getting into more and more debt by __42__ a house and a car. It seemed like a never－ending __43__ that had no place for the possibility of a dream.

I want more—but not __44__ in the material sense of personal __45__ and success. I want more out of life. I want a passion as well as a dream that wouldn't let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in the morning, rain or __46__，and have that enthusiasm for life that seemed so intrinsic(固有的) in the early childhood.

We all have a dream. It might be clearly __47__ or just a vague idea, but most of us are so __48__ in the mud of insecurity and self－doubt that we just __49__ it as unrealistic or too difficult to pursue. We become so comfortable with the life that has been __50__ for us by our parents, teachers, traditions, and social standards that we feel that it's stupid and unsafe to __51__ losing it for the small hope of achieving something that is more satisfying.

Taking a risk is __52__ a risk. We can, and will, fail, __53__ many, many, many times. But that is what makes it exciting for me. That __54__ can be viewed negatively, or it can __55__ us.

Failing is what makes us grow, and it makes us stronger. The fear of __56__，though, is what makes us sad. So __57__ I couldn't see the future as clearly as before, I took the plunge(投入) in__58__ that in the depths of fear and failure I would come out feeling more __59__ than ever before.

If you feel lost, just take a deep breath and realize that being lost can be a turning point of finding out __60__ you truly are, and what you truly want to do.
