     The horse （4） was drawn in the picture was exactly like a real horse.The man （5） was riding on it looked like a living man.
    It was the best picture （6） I had ever seen.I should say Mary is the best young painter （7） I have ever heard of.However，you will be quite mistaken if you think that Mary was born a good painter.One of her teachers told me that （8） had taken Mary thousands of hours to learn and practise drawing until she became the best young painter （9） has ever been heard of in her hometown.So if you say that she has learned to be so good at drawing only by working hard at it，I will certainly agree（10） you.

186．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
    For years I had a recurring（反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的）dream.I was a little girl again，rushing about，trying to get ready for school.
    "Hurry up!You'll be late for school，" my mother called to me.
    "I am hurrying，Mum!What did I do with my books？"
    Deep inside I knew where the dream came from.It was about some unfinished business in my life.As a kid，I loved everything about school.I loved books，teachers，tests and homework.Most of all，I longed to someday march down the aisle（通道）to receive my diploma（畢業(yè)文憑）.That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
    But at 15，I had to drop out because my parents couldn't afford my tuition.My hope of getting a diploma was dead，or so I thought.Pretty soon，I married and had three children，and I thought："There goes my diploma."
    Even so，I wanted my children to be educated.But Linda，our youngest child，had juvenile arthritis （幼年型關(guān)節(jié)炎） in her hands and knees，which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom.I felt really sorry for her and I didn't want her to live her life with regret.I didn't give up hope of her being back to school in some ways.
    One day，I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. "That's the answer，" I said to myself.Linda
always feels better in the evening，so I'll just let her sign up for night school.
    Linda was busy filling out enrolment（入學(xué)）forms when the secretary said："Mrs Schantz，why don't you come back to school？"
    I laughed： "There's no way!I'm 55!" But he persisted，and before I knew what I had done，I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. "This is only an experiment，" I warned him，but he just smiled.So，I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work.Anyway，my dream was still there in my heart.
注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。
    It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game.__________.
    Linda and I helped each other through the difficult times.__________.
