阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For many years, I had a recurring dream. I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry, you'll be late for school,” my mother called to me.
“I am hurrying, Mom! 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 to receive my diploma. That emed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out becau my parents couldn't afford 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 in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt 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 way.
One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening cours. “That's the answer,” I said to mylf. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I'll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment forms when the cretary 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 class in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I warned hi
m, but he just smiled. So, I told mylf to try for just a mester and to e if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward, even if most of them were respectful and encouraging. During the day, I was still a busy married woman having loads of houwork to do. In the evening, I was a hardworking student working on my cours. To my surpri, both Linda and I did very well in night school. I went back again the next mester, and my grades steadily improved.
Paragraph 2:
Linda and I saw each other through the time. When I was down, Linda encouraged me. “Mom, you can't quit now!” And when she was down, I encouraged her. I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us. But neither of us gave up. At last, I got my diploma. To my surpri, almost all of my classmates voted for me to be class speaker, and I got a $3,000 college scholarship. The unfinished business in my dreams was eventually finished.

Days of January were passing and every girl of the girls’ school was very happy as the lections for plays and dances for the annual function were started.
Sneha’s class teacher, Pravina, asked Sneha, her favorite student, to play the leading character in a play. Becau she was never allowed to play a male character, Sneha jumped with joy, but suddenly she became so rious about the costumes (戏服).
“How many times I have to tell you not to participate in plays and dances! Can’t you understand that we can’t buy or borrow the costly costume? You can take part in debates, quizes, or essay competitions in which you don’t have to spend money and you can enrich your knowledge,” her mother said angrily when Sneha told her about it.
