A person wishing to be admitted to the university will have to take several tests. It is (21) ______ that someone will be so lucky that knowing nothing, he could pass the test with a high score. A low score means (22) _______, and that test taker is not likely to be admitted. So, in order to be successful, one should prepare for the tests and work hard, because a good education will provide him with a good job and an opportunity to accomplish his goals and dreams. In my lifetime, I have never met a person who could graduate from a college without working hard.

To sum up, as long as someone understands success as an ability to turn into (26) ______ some of his dreams and goals, he will have to work hard because he will need money. And his chances to earn that money will increase if he could graduate from a college and make a career. All of these things are simply not possible without hard work. Luck has no place in such a scheme of events.
