2019届二轮复习完形填空专题模拟试题10篇训练之十二 [一] As we all know,life is short and full of dreams. Having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life,so dream what you want to dream and go 1 you want to go because you have only one 2 and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

Happiness lies for those who cry,those who hurt,those who have searched,and those who have tried,for only they can appreciate the 5 of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile,grows with a kiss and 6 with a tear. The brightest future will always be 7 a forgotten past,and you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past 8 and heartaches.

Live your life 10 when you die,you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is 11 .Please send this 12 to those people who mean something to you,to those who have 13 your life in one way or another,to those who make you smile when you really need it,to those who make you see the 14 side of things when you are really down,to those who you want to let know that you 15 their friendship.
