Running for a DreamI will never forget that November day. It was hotter than normal. This was the __36__ my father and I had waited so long for, because we had been working towards this race for three years. Dozens of familiar faces from church and school flashed across my view. They had come __37__ me. I saw worry and __38__ on my father’s face. Then the race began!For the first two and a half miles. I felt __39__. I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with controlled __40__ and a strict diet. My friends hadn’t seen me in weeks, but they understood the __41__ required to make my dream a reality. As in all of my races，I didn't __42__ out in the front，I loved the pleasure of passing people as my strength overtook their premature speed.Then without warning，my strength began to decrease. Neck and neck with one of my greatest competitors, I __43__ see the finish line. I had begun the final dash into __44__ when my knees became weak and my legs gave way. Nothing I could do would make them __45__ weight.I watched as runners rushed by me. __46__ I knew my dreams of victory were destroyed. I had to finish the race. However, my legs hurt badly. With all of the __47__ left in me, I got on my hands and knees and crawled (爬), inch by inch, across the finish line. Voices, both __48__ and familiar, cheered me on. They gave me the courage to keep __49__ until the very end.The doctors were there in seconds, but my eyes searched the crowd for him. There was only on e person I wanted to __50__ to. I whispered, “I’m so sorry , Dad, I'm so sorry I __51__ you.” He looked at me, saying, “You could never disappoint me. Sometimes these things just __52__. All that matters is that you did your best.”“But we worked so __53__. What about our dream” He reached over for my hand and said, “Don't you know that you are my dream and it has come true”It wasn't long before my running shoes were back on, marking a __54__ path for my journey, I learned that all of the miles, the tears, the sweat, and the pain my dad and I experienced together were not for a __55__.

CDBADAs a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing thingsfor my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimeslooked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly resisting the urge to 36 out at home with even the simplest things.Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother 37 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of 38 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 39 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very 40 to help her bring the groceries into the house. 41 I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the 42 for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.Don’t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt 43 about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my 44 . But I also realized that once I did change, there’d be no going back. 45 I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 46 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would 47 something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) childto a more 48 , caring and giving young man.I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 49 to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the 50 , I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 51 . Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and 52 back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the 53 I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could 54 on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest 55 out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.36．A. help B. cry C. start D. work37． B. drove C. walked D. guided38．A. fruits B. flowers C. groceries D. vegetables39．A. paid C. applied D. planned40．A. nervous B. grateful C. confident D. unwilling41．A.

I mostly went to __36__ with other kids whose parents were also in the military. But when my dad __37__ from the Marines after twenty years of service, I found myself __38__a civilian school with twelve-year-olds who shared no similar life experience with me.I was a stranger in a strange land. Everyone in my class had grown up together, and they had no room to __39__ for a newcomer. I wore different clothes, had different thoughts, and spoke with an accent. I __40__ for the first few weeks of school. I had no friends, no activities, and no __41__of a bright future. To deal with it all, I began __42__ in my diary every day---stories of adventure, of old friends, of feelings that I could not speak. I wrote as if my life depended on it, as if the very next breath I took could not happen __43__ I wrote down words.One day, my teacher, Mrs. Bush, came to me and asked why I always sat there writing instead of playing with others. I told her I enjoyed writing and __44__ writing to playing. She smiled at me and walked away. About three weeks later, Mrs. Bush gave us a writing assignment. I was __45__that I could now participate in something I knew I excelled in.That night I worked and worked on the essay. I wrote with great __46__. It was my one chance to feel important and __47__ by the class.A few days after we handed in our assignments, Mrs. Bush called me up to the __48__of the classroom. I stood before thirty pairs of eyes looking at me, and I got __49__. Was I in trouble Did I do something wrongThen Mrs. Bush told the class how much she __50__ all the work that went into the essay and everyone had done a great job. But, she said, one student stood __51__ as an excellent writer, one with imagination, creativity, and word mastery. That student was me!The class clapped politely and Mrs. Bush handed me my paper, with the following __52__on it: "Malinda, you are an excellent writer. You fill your paper with thebreathings of your heart. Please keep on writing and share your __53__of writingwith the world. I am proud of you and glad you are in my class."Mrs. Bush helped me feel a sense of __54__, a place of purpose, and a way tosurvive a transition in life.

As the sign-up sheet went up and down the rows, I started to come up with my 36 . Maybe it was the distance to the college where the event was to take place, or the early hour that 37 had to report for duty. Whatever the reasons that made me hesitate, I am thankful to this day that I 38 up volunteering. If I had missed the event, I would have missed one of the most unforgettable moments that I have ever 39 .I arrived at the volunteer tent bright and early. My task was 40 . I was to stand at the finish line only and wait until the event was over and then take the 41 to the announcing booth(公告处). Standing at the finish line, I was able to witness many amazing efforts and close races. I was most impressed by the effort each athlete put into his or her 42 . What also impressed me was the sincere 43 each athlete expressed while participating though sometimes the joy of participatingin a sporting event can get 44 in the fierce competition of winning and losing.Then an amazing moment happened right before my eyes. A group of athletes were 45up to run a short race. One of them was in a wheelchair, a little girl with a 46 smile, wearing bright bows in her hair. Her smile filled the stadium that day. I couldn’t help but smile back at her.The gun sounded. They were off. Runners sped up in the 47 with all their might. My eyes48 for the little girl with the bright bows. There she was, pumping her arms with all the49 she had. Her efforts were getting little result, but that did not stop her.I noticed as she got closer that she also had an injured arm. But that did not stop this bright star. The race was long over 50 the young athlete kept pumping her arms. As she finally 51 the finish line, the noise of the crowd was thunderous. There I stood 52 , with tears falling down my cheeks.After all these years, I can still hear those cheers. I wish I could thank that remarkable athlete for what her efforts 53 this unmotivated college guy. I grew up a lot that day because of the 54 of that little girl in the wheelchair. I was 55 that day of a poem from a book that states, “Whatever you do, do it with all your might.”36. A. ideas B. plans C. suggestions D. excuses37.

My hero is Mr. Wright, my chorus(合唱队) teacher.When I was 12 years old, my grandparents passed away. I was really close to them, and losing them was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to 36 through. I couldn’t eat, sleep, or think; I felt like I couldn’t even breathe. It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me, and I 37 into this huge hole of depression(抑郁).38 I was battling depression, I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life. It was difficult to be 39 , but Ihad to try. I joined Women’s Choir. Mr. Wright was the choral director and he was so funny that the first day, I just knew I had made the best 40 of my life.As the year progressed, I loved chorus more and more. I began to smile again and really enjoy 41 .Then one day that all changed. My friends—or those that I thought were my friends—started talking about me behind my back. I was 42 , and I sat by myself. Mr. Wright came over and asked what was wrong. The look in his eyes told me that I could 43 him. Trying hard to 44 back tears, I told him the whole story.When I finished, he nodded and told me, “If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth 45 your joy.” What Mr. Wright said really 46 a chord (心弦) in my heart. He 47 cared about me and what was going on. I’ll never be able to thank him enough, because he not only saved me but has 48 every day of it since. Any time I feel like giving 49 , I remember Mr. Wright’s words and push forward.I’m proud to say that I 50 my depression, and I’m now a senior. I’m still a 51 of chorus, and now I’m also in the best choir at my school.Mr. Wright is a hero 52 everyone he meets. He cares about every single person who walks through his door, and he loves what he does more than any other teacher I’ve known. That’s 53 he deserves to be Educator of the Year. He deserves the 54 not just this year but every year.I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet you, Mr. Wright. You are an 55 teacher, and I hope you realize that. You’re my hero.36.

I almost couldn’t believe that smiling child was me. I felt a chill go down my spine (脊柱). It was like my younger self had sent me a __46__. Right then and there I knew I couldn’t kill myself. Once I had been a strong little girl, and I had to become __47__ like that again.I tore up my suicide note and __48__ that I would not rely only on my medicine.I would have to fight the depression with my mind, too. I could make myself happy again.It has been two years since I __49__ myself. The real reason I am healed is that I took action and refused to let depression __50__my life. I learned a lifelong __51__: Never give up. Everyone has challenges in life, but everyone can __52__.I am living proof of that.Now I am prepared for whatever __53__ life may bring.
