When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000 m race.      My 36 was to pass out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of 37 who passed by and 38 a cup of water. The next year I signed up for the   39 and gave it a shot. The first 10,000 m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didn’t 40 if I could finish. At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me very 41 , and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt 42 for a second. But then I 43 something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had 44 capacities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my 45 was only to finish. After a minute, it 46 me that this was a lesson I could draw from . I learned 47 about myself in that moment. I turned my 48 into inspiration. I decided that I would not 49 running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and 50 properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I 51 the finishing line, I was proud 52 my accomplishment. In life we all have those moments when we 53 ourselves to others. It’s only 54 . Don’ allow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into 55 and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible. 小题1: A．position B．direction C．decision D．target 小题2: A．trainers B．runners C．fans D．volunteers 小题3: A．begged B．drank C．dropped D．grabbed 小题4: A．project B．service C．race D．experience 小题5: A．doubt B．know C．answer D．promise 小题6: A．slowly B．fast C．quietly D．carefully 小题7: A．surprised B．satisfied C．amused D．defeated 小题8: A．forgot B．realized C．remembered D．abandoned 小题9: A．different B．wonderful C．valuable D．proper 小题10: A．dream B．plan C．goal D．job 小题11: A．happened B．hit C．occurred D．attracted 小题12: A．everything B．anything C．nothing D．something 小题13: A．disappointment B．embarrassment C．agreement D．achievement 小题14: A．sign up B．pick up C．give up D．keep up 小题15: A．predict B．behave C．prepare D．pretend 小题16: A．found B．crossed C．held D．left 小题17: A．in B．upon C．of D．for 小题18: A．combine B．control C．compare D．contribute 小题19: A．natural B．frequent C．important D．terrible 小题20: A．condition B．motivation C．situation D．protection
