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。

    There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”. I'd say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here's why.

    1）

    Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don't go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.

    2）The world is waiting on your gift

    I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don't deprive（使丧失） the world of your gift. It's the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you.

    3）

    You can dream about writing the great American play that you want, but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!

A. You can't let fear win.

B. Tomorrow is not promised.

C. In other words, dreams don't work unless you do.

D. Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you

E. How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?

F. Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true.

G. You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can copy.

    Trekking(徒步旅行）500 miles across Spain is no easy task for anyone, but for the wheelchair user Justin Skeesuck, achieving the dream seemed nearly impossible. However, Skeesuck's lifelong best friend, Patrick Gray, simply didn't accept that idea. He said, "We've done everything together so far. Why don't we have one more adventure?"

    That's exactly what he did — pushing Skeesuck across northern Spain's Camino de Santiago. Though Skeesuck has a muscle disease similar to ALS and high blood pressure, he first got the idea to go on the journey after he watched a travel show about the trail. He said, "I knew immediately since my heart was just telling me, 'You need to do this.'"

    With Gray on board and the blessings of their family, the two best friends from Idaho set off to make Skeesuck's dream of going for the journey a reality. However, neither Gray nor Skeesuck realized how physically and emotionally arduous the trip would be. Not only did they have a strict time limit — about six weeks to get from start to finish, but they also faced extremely difficult obstacles (障碍). With Gray pushing Skeesuck in a three-wheel wheelchair, the pair crossed mountains, rivers and a desert. "I've never been that physically exhausted in my entire life," Gray said. The pair came across countless kind people during their trip who were eager to help them finish their journey, but they refused their help with gentle words. 34 days later, the two best friends finished their journey, realizing a dream that helped them learn about themselves and others. "The adventure has taught me for sure that when you do something with faith, and never give up, amazing things can really happen," Skeesuck said.

    Gray recorded their incredible trip in a book —— " I'll Push You: A Journey of 500 Miles, Two Best Friends and One Wheelchair", which would be published soon. Skeesuck and Gray are also working on a children's book that will tell the story of their adventure. They hope that the book will give kids strength when they deal with difficulties.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项

    During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.

    As I approached, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 meters from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and terrifying, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a loud howl(长嚎). The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it signaled death.

    Every moment I expected to see the pack dash(猛冲) at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general moving among his soldiers. They howled out again. But when they saw that their war-cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, and they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.

    Had I turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me I was certain the whole pack would have attacked me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated(威胁) them and kept them back.

    One hot night last August, I tried everything I could think of — toys, songs etc. to make him fall into sleep, but he just couldn't do it. Since I believed that a long night was waiting for me ahead, I had no choice but to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours until dawn. I was surprised that the moment I turned on the TV the baby became quiet right away and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed(蹑手蹑脚地行进) out of the room, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs. I heard no more of the baby's crying that night and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby's behavior(行为) for the new generation. When I gave my boy some books to go over, he only spit upon them; when I read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my students. I find that our students don't read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have drawn a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight against it? Let them watch what they want！
