五、(2023·苏州工业园区模拟)完形填空。〔人与自我——生活与学习〕
When I was in Grade 3, I watched a video that recreated the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb(坟墓). I remember Howard Carter 1 a narrow hole in the tomb with a candle. A workman asked what he could see. "Wonderful things!" Carter replied. From that moment I knew 2 I wanted to do with my life.
Today I'm lucky to work as an archeologist(考古学家). It's 3 work. Sometimes you find something that was buried(埋藏) three thousand years ago. Holding a piece of history is amazing.
I decided what I wanted to be at the age of 9, and I made it happen. But the road wasn't easy. I did my studies—university, and then a PhD. But 4 the way I was told many things: I was too young; I wasn't good enough. I also needed money, so I applied for six grants(拨款). The first five 5 I got said no. Six months later, the last one came. This time it was yes. 6, I could start my own exploration.
For anyone thinking about a career, I would say, "Never give up. If you want to do something, keep trying. If people tell you 'No', use that—it will 7 you. In the beginning, it hurts. But the next 'No' hurts a little 8. It makes you stronger and actually helps you. Stick to your dreams, and I mean 9. You don't have to follow other people. 10 they say something has never been done, make it happen. You may be the first person to do it! There are always challenges, but you overcome them in the end."
