专题限时集训(十九)　完形填空之议论文

A

(2018·新乡市模拟)Did you ever have a dream? I'm not talking about a dream you have when you sleep.I'm talking about a conscious   1  where you would like to see a new future，a different choice of employment，and a   2  of your own.How many times have you wished that you could be living in a different   3  than the one you are   4  experiencing?

Several years ago，I had a dream about inventing a board game that would   5  my life's fortunes.After many revisions，a board game was developed.It was a(n)   6  time.Our dream seemed to come true with sales starting to accumulate，and our company was also   7  .

   8  ，another new board game   9  the market and made great progress in sales.Eventually，our company was dissolved.

Perhaps for a game developer，the   10  emotions that it never was meant to be will discourage his future dreams of a different life.But to me，maybe I didn't succeed to the level I  11  ，at the very least I turned my dream  12  a reality.  13  I had never transferred my dream into goal and then to action，there wouldn't have been  14  lessons to be learned from the failure.It may take many  15  but success is only achieved.Once dreams are  16  action，failure becomes a  17  action plan in future.The important  18  here is that success only comes by turning dreams into reality and realizing that  19  are only stepping-stones to final success.After many attempts，many failures，many lessons and many false starts，learn valuable lessons from failure，turn dreams into  20  ，and don't let a dream only be a dream，success will arrive at last.
