How __1__ they were!Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into __2__ and strangers into friends.

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be __5__ accepted. Yet she didn’t stop doing her experiments. Work was such a deep __6__ for her that she never thought of stopping.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic __7__ -- as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the hurrying of a beetle.
It is this __8__ wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist(大提琴演奏家) Pablo Casals would start his day by __9__ Bach.

We cannot afford to waste __13__ on “might-have-beens”. Just as the saying goes, it’s no use crying over spilt milk.

A
There is an English saying that goes, "he who laughs last, laughs the hardest." High School Musical star and teen heartthrob (让人心动的男人)Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days.
As a young boy, Efron was picked on in school because he was always the smallest in his class and teased because he had a big space between his teeth. In sixth grade, Efron's basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime (两个加时赛), with three seconds left,he rebounded the ball and passed it to the wrong team! They scored and his team lost the game.
But history, as they say, is a thing of the past. Now at 21, Efron is one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People, graces the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood's most influential magazine, and is traveling the world promoting the third High School Musical film. Director Adam Shankman described Efron as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now." Simply google "Zac Efron" and you get more than 14 million responses. Yes, it seems Efron has a lot to smile about these days.
Efron was born and raised in California. He took school seriously. According to Efron, "he would flip out if he got a B and not an A in school, and that he was a class clown." It was his father who encouraged him to act. He took part in school performances and with a local theater group. He also took singing lessons. He graduated from high school in 2006 and was accepted at the University of Southern California to study film. But he deferred--why study movies when you can star in them.
Now he has signed on to star in the romantic comedy Seventeen Again and to play in the remake of the hugely popular movie, Footloose. Efron is also earning more than $3 million for his role in High School Musical 3. Not bad for a 21-year-old. But Efron still remembers those bullies.
"You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down because you have something that they admire," Efron said. "Also, when you get made fun of, when people point out your weaknesses, it's an opportunity for you to rise above."
