    What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success  51  only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways  52  not in others.

    For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and  53  surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really  54  because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition, Thinking that I might be lucky again, I  55  joining in other art competitions.But the result was that I  56  won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a  57  artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So the  58  I produced were not of a very high standard.

    These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky  59 , I also need to put in hard work. As we know,  60  makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.

    A man walked into a restaurant. The restaurant advertised(做广告)it had the  61  menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able to provide any dish, no matter how  62

    it was.

    When a waiter came up to take his order, he said, “You say you can serve any dish, even if it’s not on your longest menu in the world.”

    “That is correct, sir. We are able to meet everyone’s requirements.”
