Over the past 20 years, I have watched the Lion King for more than a dozen of times.When I first watched the movie, the 16 of Mufasa’s death made me — a six-year-old girl at that time —cry, and since then, I have always skipped(跳过) that part. Later on, during my middle-school years, I liked the love story part a lot, and Simba and Nala were really a 17 couple in my heart. Every time I watched the movie, I felt 18 .Recently, I’ve watched the Lion King again. This time, what impressed me most was the 19 of Pumbaa and Timon — they were ordinary and lived an ordinary life. Before joining Simba to regain his kingdom, all about their life were eating and singing.To me, the best lesson that Pumbaa and Timon have taught us is that 20 they know they are ordinary and their life is ordinary, they still love and enjoy it.In fact, in the real world, only quite a few people can achieve great things and become extraordinary, and the rest of us will just live our 21 life.A sentence in an article recommended by the Fair (WeChat Subscription) 22 me: by hard work, ordinary people only fight for the right to 23 their ordinary life in the ordinary world. It is cruel, but it is true (at least in my opinion).The best solution is to accept and enjoy it. I know it’s 24 but this is a part of growing up.

In the senior high school, I was no longer one of the top students, and then, for the very first time, I realized that maybe I couldn’t be extraordinary.Now, I’m well aware that I’m no more than an ordinary person but I’m27 with that. I went to an ordinary university and got my BA in English, and then to another ordinary university and received my MA in translation. Doing the editor’s job, I now earn myself a life in Shanghai, such an expensive metropolitan city to live in.I can’t28 Michael Kors or Issey Miyake, but I have comfortable clothes which fit me well. I usually go out dinner with a couple of friends on weekends, not fancy of first class restaurants but sidewalk café or common restaurants where we know there are delicious foodand nice 29 .I consider this not the passive acceptance, but a(n) optimistic attitude of turning “this is life” to “this is the life”. But all in all, I still have30 , just in case they would become true one day.Yes, be ordinary and be happy.( )16. A. view B. sight C. scene D. effect ( )17. A. perfect B. noisy C. lonely D. fashionable ( )18. A. heavily B. similarly C. practically D. differently ( )19. A. experience B. lifestyle C. wisdom D. humour ( )20. A. in case B. now that C. as if D. even though ( )21. A. ordinary B. hard C. rough D. rare( )22. A. puzzled B. touched C. scared D. amazed ( )23. A. start B. gain C. continue D. stop( )24.
