（2018·重庆A）Everyone has dreams. Lily dreamed of being a dancer. She took  36   lessons and all her teachers thought she was an excellent student.
  One day she saw a notice. It said that a famous dancing group would be performing in her town.  
37    thought, “I must show the leader my dancing skills.” She waited for the group leader in the dressing room.     38     the leader appeared, she came up and handed him the flowers she prepared. The thorns(刺) hurt her fingers and blood came out. But she was too    39    to care about the pain. She expressed her strong wish to be a dancer and begged(乞求)to show her dance.
“All right. You dance,” the leader agreed. But half way through the dance, he stopped her, “I’m sorry, in my mind you're not good enough!” On hearing this, Lily   40    out as fast as her legs could carry her.  It was so hard for her to accept this. She lost heart and   41  her dream.
  Several years later, the dancing group came to her town again. She decided to find out   42 the leader had told her she was not good enough.
  This was his reply, “I tell this   43    every student.”
 “You've ruined(毁掉) my life!” she shouted angrily.
  The leader went on, “I remember your present of    44   and how the thorns had hurt your fingers but you carried on bravely. It was a pity that you didn't take dancing like that and stopped trying so    45     . So you are still not good enough for dancing!”
