I took my 8 by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said. “I have a bit of problem here and I was wondering if you could 9 . I’m going to be really busy. I was wondering if you could keep my mother company while I’m busy.”

（22-23高二下·安徽马鞍山·期中）“Mama, when I grow up. I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my 1 took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was 2 to more, my interests in the world of dance varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a dancer in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a 3 ; I became a member of the company 4 back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely 5 any sense of reality. I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief 6 I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day. I never actually expected to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely 7 . I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance, it did not come without its fair share of 8 . Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to 9 up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme 10 to detail and stress on practice that set us 11 . To then follow those high-energy rehearsals with a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new 12 of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical 13 were pushed much further than I thought 14 . I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great 15 of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a tradition that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow — and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
