Johnny, a lizard (蜥蜴），lived between some rocks in the country, where he liked sunbathing every morning. One day, he felt so       that he didn’t notice some boys coming up behind him. The boys caught Johnny, and he could only escape from their hands by losing his       and running to hide.
The children watched his tail moving about, but they soon threw the tail away and left. Johnny came out to       his tail, but could find no       of it. Feeling so sad, he decided to       doing everything else in his life and spending all his time finding his tail. Days and months passed, and Johnny kept looking, asking everyone       they had seen his tail. However, there was      no news about it.
One day, he asked a boy and the boy       replied, “Why do you need two tails?” After hearing this, Johnny turned back and saw that he had grown a new, stronger tail. He suddenly realised how       it had been to waste so much time on a problem like it. Johnny headed for home.
    , he suddenly found his old tail on the roadside. Although it       terrible, Johnny was still excited to have it back. He picked it up and was about to       his journey. Just at that moment, an idea hit him that he shouldn’t look at the past and worry about it since it was not useful for      .
He then decided to       his old tail there, leaving with it all his past worries. As he continued his journey, all he took with him were thoughts of the present and the dreams of the       .
As we know, it’s not good to look at the past, unless it helps in the future. Let the past go with the wind.

閱讀下面短文，在表格內(nèi)的空白處填入合適的答案（每格限填一詞）。
Why you should think big  
If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to increase its scope(范圍). Why not make full use of it?
The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision(遠(yuǎn)見), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.
Remember that everything starts small
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Everything starts small. Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a smaller unit than you can possibly imagine. So it doesn’t matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things.
Think bigger by enlisting(爭取) others
To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If you’re not the most organized person, don’t just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better.
Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you can’t do to make sure your dream grows.
Think big by focusing on future regrets(遺憾)
There is an old saying, “We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn’t.” You’ll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.
If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don’t try or attempt properly.
Feel that it is your human duty to think big
When something is probably a real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you don’t succeed at last, it is still valuable to think big.
Think Big
What thinking big means
If you have something valuable in mind, you should make full use of it.
You should try to pursue it with your    小題1:.
How to train yourself to think big
Remember that every big thing starts from a   小題2: one.
It is not   小題3: where you are at present.
See yourself as a small part of a greater whole.
You should gather    小題4:  people around you to make sure of the growing of your dream because everyone has shortcomings(缺點(diǎn)).
If you don’t try, you will never know how far your idea could go.
Imagine how much regret you will have if you give up your big plans.
