Everyone has a dream. We are on the way to achieve it whether the way is smooth or tough. As Senior 3 student, I have the same dream as my classmates that I can be admitted to an ideal university. In the past three year, I have done everything I can to equip myself with that I have learnt from my teachers. Not only had I enjoyed the pleasure of study but also I have got closer to my dream. Anxiety and pressure did discourage from me at times and with the encouragement of my teachers and classmates, I think I’ll make it.
I’m sure that there has still a long way to go to achieve my dream. No matter what challenging it is, I’ll make it come true. As the proverb said,“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

At the end of 2014, Tulsa, Oklahoma, sixthgrade teacher Melissa Bour received a friend ____ on Facebook from one of her students. She didn’t accept the request, but a quick browse through the girl’s friends list revealed the names of dozens of kids from her ____. Many of the students’ Facebook pages were completely ____， meaning even strangers could ____ the kids’ personal photos and messages.
“I saw middle fingers, students dressed inappropriately, and extremely ____ language，” Melissa says. “It was ____．” When she brought up her ____ in class, the students were not ____ at all. So she created a ____ of her own. With a bright green marker pen, she wrote on a piece of paper: “Dear Facebook: my 12yearold students think it is ‘no ____’ that they are posting pictures of themselves... Please help me show them how ____ their images can get around.” She put a picture of the letter on her Facebook page and asked people to ____ it.
In hours, it was shared 108，000 times across dozens of states and four countries. She ____ it after eight hours, but it continued to spread. “I wanted to ____ them that it’s on the Internet forever，” she says.
As she explained the results of her ____ in class, the students’ eyes got bigger and bigger. “It scared a few of them into deleting their pages ____，” she says. Others have removed inappropriate posts and used privacy settings to ____ their pages.
Her ____ wasn’t to scare them off social media but to push them to be ____ of what they post. Melissa says, “I tell them, ‘It doesn’t ____ you have to just because everyone else is sharing.’”

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people talk about how reading books can expand your knowledge and improve your life. __1.__ Reading books is indeed good. But there is one aspect of it that many people tend to forget: the value of rereading books.
In fact, I’d argue that rereading books is just as important as reading new ones.Here are some reasons why rereading books is good：
1. __2.__
Research shows that in just 24 hours people would forget most of what they’ve read. You might get a lot of good ideas from a book, but it’s easy to forget most of them. Rereading a book helps you refresh those ideas in your mind.
2. _3.__
Just as it’s easy to forget ideas, it’s also easy to have some ideas skip your attention when you first read a book. Rereading the book helps you notice them.
3. It gives you a new perspective.
__4.__ The ideas that didn’t make sense before could now make sense. The things that didn’t matter before could now be connected to your experience.
4. It helps you apply the ideas.
In my opinion, the primary value of reading is the application and not the reading itself. Reading alone could expand your knowledge but application could change your life. By rereading a book, you can see which parts of it you have applied and which parts haven’t. __5._
A. It helps you refresh yourself.
B. It reminds you of the good ideas.
C. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course.
D. Rereading a book allows you to see it with fresh eyes.
E. It helps you notice the ideas that you didn’t notice before.
F. You can then focus your effort on the parts that need more work.
G. Later, when you’ve applied them, you can find reading all kinds of materials really works.
