The first time Arnold Schwarzenegger went to the United States, he was competing in the World Championships in Body building. [12]He lost, felt devastated and cried because he thought he disappointed his friends and himself. But the next day he got his act together, and said, "I’m going to learn from that lesson." And from then on, he continued. His career took off, and everything that he wanted to do he accomplished. [13]All of this happened because of his dreams. Even though other people told him that those dreams were crazy, he held on.
In Hollywood, they said, "You will never make it. You have a German accent. No one in Hollywood has ever made it with a German accent. Maybe you can play some Nazi roles, but you cannot become a leading star with an accent. [14]Plus your body is overdeveloped. You have all these muscles. They did Hercules movies 20 years ago, but that’s outdated. [14]And your name, Schwarzenegger, it is too long to fit on a movie poster. Forget it, you will never make it. Go back to body building." Well, the rest is history. After Terminator 3, he became the highest paid movie star in Hollywood.
When he ran for governor people said, "Arnold, you will never become governor of California. What do you know about government?" Well, he continued campaigning. He listened to his dreams, and the rest also is history. He became the governor. So those dreams carried him on. So body building gave him the confidence, movies gave him the money, [15]and public service and being a governor gave him a purpose larger than himself.
12. How did Schwarzenegger feel when he lost in the bodybuilding competition?
13. Why did Schwarzenegger later accomplish all the things he wanted to do?
14. What do some people list as disadvantages for Schwarzenegger to become a movie star?
15. What did he get from his successful political experiences?

C、Larger circle of friends.
D、A bigger goal.
答案
