I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend's house. It was just after four o'clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按钮) 12.
The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, halfway up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn't understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.
Then suddenly the lights went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm (火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, "Just get me out of here. I'll never be bad again."
Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. "How long have you been in the lift? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven't you learned to read at your school?" He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:
"Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4pm and 5 pm on Thursday March 13."

What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success 1 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 2 not in others.

I was really 4 because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition, Thinking that I might be lucky again, I 5 joining in other art competitions, But the result was that I 6 won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a 7 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 8 I produced were not of a very high standard(水平).
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky 9 , I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 10 makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.
