I was selected and told that I was talented and that for only$900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most famous modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment 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 - 5 -have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to about1.75metres I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt（冲刺）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 depressed.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.25.What was the author's attitude toward her dream as a model at a young age?A. Enthusiastic B. Doubtful.C. Indecisive.D.

Practice makes perfect.CGrandparents Answer a CallAs a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away,. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused . Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obamas mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents com. 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinsons decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand ,a magazine for grandparents .We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when youre raising children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.29.

BThey were eager to raise more children.CThey wanted to live away from their parents.DThey had little respect for their grandparents.32.
