David grew up poor. He started working in the 7th grade and by high school he was only going to school half days,        at 11 am to go to work.
Lack of money meant lack of educational opportunities, but he had a          to learn. In his spare time he read books that he thought would          him succeed somewhere down the road.
He was a hard worker, and rose above(克服) his         of higher education to provide for his family,         factory life had a bad effect on him physically, emotionally and      . It was, in his mind, killing him like a slow poison.
In 1995 he bought his first computer and a few months later discovered the Internet. He wanted to be a part of it, and worked 48 or         hours a week in the factory, and worked another 40 or more hours a week          himself computer skills. He worked harder than he       had in his life, surfing the Internet over 100 hours a week.
David began       jobs in the Internet and computer fields. He was         many times, but he never gave up. He had a goal and kept after it        he didn’t feel like it because         else seemed so hopeless. That kind of drive and perseverance almost always         . David left the factory and took a job in the computing field.
This is a true story about          , a story about believing in        ; a story about finding what you love to do and         your dreams.
My hope in writing this story is that, if you have a dream, you’ll be      enough to see it through(进行到底). It’s up to you to          it. Remember that even the farthest      always starts with the first step.

In the fifteenth century in Nuremberg ,lived a family with eighteen children .They were so poor that two children ,who wanted to pursue their talent for 41 , knew their father would never be 42 able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
So they tossed（掷）a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger, 43 the toss and went off to Nuremberg .Albert went down into the dangerous 44   and ,for the next four years ,financed his brother , who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his 45 . By the time he graduated ,he was beginning to earn 46 fees by drawing for wealthy people.
When Albrecht returned home, at dinner he drank a 47 to his beloved brother for the years of    48 that had enabled him to fulfill his 49 . He said, "Albert ,my blessed brother ,now it is your      50 to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream ,and I will take care of you."
With tears in his eyes ,Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, "No ,brother. I cannot go . Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my 51 ! The bones in every finger have been 52 at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis（关节炎）so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a 53 to return your toast ,much less make delicate lines with a pen or a brush. No ,brother... for me it is too 54 ."
Deeply moved ,Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother's 55 hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward .He called his powerful drawing 56 "Hands" , to which the entire world immediately opened their hearts and later they 57 it "The Praying Hands."
The next time you see a copy of that 58 creation, take a second look. Let it be your 59 ,if you still need one ,that no one ever makes it 60   !
