This is a part from US President Barack Obama’s speech on May 14 at Bamard College in New York.
… My last piece of advice – this is simple, but perhaps most important: 36. Nothing worthwhile is easy. No one of achievement has avoided failure – sometimes catastrophic failures. But they keep at it. They learn from mistakes. They don’t 37.
When I first arrived on this 38, I was with little money, fewer options. But it was here that I tried to find my place in this world. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but it was 39 how in fact I’d go about it. But I wanted to do my part to 40 a better world.
So even as I worked after graduation in a few 41 jobs here in New York, even as I went from motley (鱼龙混杂的)apartment to motley apartment, I 42.
… And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was 43. I got it from 44 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 45 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 46 went on food stamps at one point to help us 47. But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 48 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned 49.
And 50, I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave everything we had to balance our careers and a 51 family. We made that marriage work.
… So 52 it’s starting a business, or running for office, or 53 an amazing family, remember that making your 54 on the world is hard. It takes patience. It takes commitment. It comes with plenty of 55 and it comes with plenty of failures.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health，or advice about how to behave and   33 yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start，    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your   39   ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be   39   up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind．Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice    42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．
In fact that is what   44   is like；we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both 46    like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s   49 ：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不经意的）    50   may not be a bad one．

Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and 30   , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their 31   . We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins that aren't 32   ."
　　The study reported on 33   toward smoking in 1,500 households across the United States. It found that the vast majority of both smokers and nonsmokers were 34   that second-hand smoke is harmful to children. Some 95 percent of nonsmokers and 84 percent of smokers 35 with the statement that "inhaling smoke from a parent's cigarette can 36    the health of infants and children"。
　　But 37   fewer of those surveyed were aware of the 38   of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room 39 where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。
　　Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 40   , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke.

Monty Roberts, owner of a horse ranch (牧场) in San Ysidro, once told us a story. “When a young man was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to   36   and do when he grew up. In his seven-page paper he described his   37   of someday owning a horse ranch. He drew a   38   floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would   39   on a 200-acre dream ranch. Two days later he received his   40   back. On the front page was a   41   red F. The teacher said, ‘This is an   42   dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.’ Then the teacher   43 , ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your   44   .’ The boy asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own   45   on this. However, I think it is a very
46   decision for you.’   47 , after a week, the boy   48   the same paper, making no   49   at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   50 .’ Monty then turned to us and said, “I tell you this story   51   you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed (装框) over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the   52   is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was   53   of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams.   54   you had enough determination not to give up on yours.”
Don’t let anyone   55   your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
