科目: 來源:2014高考名師指導(dǎo)分項拿分專訓(xùn)完形填空+閱讀理解+書面表達3英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

When I was young I wanted to be a model,so when a national contest was stagedI convinced my parents to take me for an audition (試演)I was selected and told I had potential.They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有聲望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend.At 13,my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgement and I begged my parents to let me go.We have never been rich,but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.

I imagined being signed by some famous model companies.For months,any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be real model.I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!

Of courseI wasn't signedbut what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success.I prayed for a growth spurt (沖刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream.I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes.$500 for a photo shoot,and $300 for other expenses.My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.

The agency sent me out on a few auditions,but with every day I didn't receive a call,I grew more depressed.The_final_straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling.There was an open call in New York City.We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting,only to be told that I was too short.I was devastated (極度不安的)

Years later,I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling,just the idea of it.I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal.The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.
