【答案】 However
;sugar;to;hoped;or;to sell

【解析】【分析】主要讲了Esther是怎样成功的。
(1)句意:然而,Esther用钱做生意。根据Most of Esther's friends decided to go to college 可知大部分朋友决定去上大学,而Esther决定做生意,所以前后表示转折,所以用however,故填However。
(2)句意:她买了水果、糖和一些罐子。sugar是不可数名词,所以用sugar,故填sugar。
(3)句意:她把果酱一罐子5美元卖给她的朋友。sell sth. to sb.把某物卖给某人,故填to。
(4)句意:他们希望一天她将成为一名老师或者医生。时态是一般过去时,所以hope用过去式hoped;成为一名老师或者医生,表示选择,所以用or,故填hoped,or。
(5)句意:但是Esther有自己的想法。one's own某人自己的,主语是Esther,所以one's 用形容词修物主代词her,故填her。
(6)句意:她开始把它卖给超市。start to do sth. 开始去做另一件事情,故填to sell。(7)句意:它卖得非常好。副词修饰实义动词,sold是实义动词,所以good用副词well,故填well。
(8)句意:她是如此忙碌以至于她不得不让人为她工作。make sb. do sth.让某人做某事,所以用work,故填work。
(9)句意:当她的父母看见她成功时,他们改变了他们的想法。became是系动词,意思是变得,后面用形容词,success的形容词是successful,故填successful。
【点评】考查语法填空,考查词汇在语篇中的运用能力。注意理解句意,首先读一遍,然后再逐一作答。注意句型、搭配、短语及语境。
