Task 8

（模擬）Images of her childhood flashed past her eyes. There she was， aged three， building a sandcastle on the    1    . Time flew by as those small little    2    changed into stronger ones which were trying to    3    a castle out of Lego blocks. Moving on， those hands were    4    covered with sweat， as she    5    a pen tightly， while taking her first major exam. Later on， they were slightly relaxed， as the pen was changed into a steering wheel，     6    along with family and friends.

“How fast time    7    ？” she thought. We all come into this world with a set of    8    ， hopes and aspirations. We are    9    to grow up to achieve these dreams and    10    the world， but maybe sometimes in this process， we forget to    11    the journey. Yes， it is    12    to pursue your dreams and work hard to achieve them. But at the same time， it is also important to    13    time out for your loved ones， enjoy and cherish every    14    spent with them. It is these moments that    15    some of the most beautiful    16    to be cherished for a lifetime！

Every day isn？__________t the same. The best thing in life is to take each day at a time， to cherish every moment and do what you love. Perhaps    17    is one of the best examples that show us the    18     meaning of doing what we love and doing what makes us smile.

Looking at the shining face of her    19    daughter， she realized that， perhaps she？__________s got a second chance， a chance to    20    her childhood once again！
