1、Running for a DreamI will never forget that November day. It was hotter than normal. Thiswas the _36_ myfather 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
2、 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 beforebeen 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 inweeks, but they understood the
3、 _41_ required to makemy dream a reality. As in all of myraces , 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_ s
4、ee the finish line. I had begun the final dash into _44_ when my knees becameweak and mylegs 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
5、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 forhim. There was only o
6、ne 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, “ Youcould 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 fo
7、r my hand and said, “ Don't you know that you are mydreamand it has cometrue ”It wasn't long before myrunning 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_. What

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
12、 things.42 for Mom as IEvery 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 f
13、or 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 ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.Don' t get me wrong: even back in my room, I fel
14、t 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 mu
15、ch bigger: mypersonal 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 de
16、ep 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 myplace
17、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 an

21、oved a lot. 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
22、. Everyone in my class had grown up together, and they had no room to _39_ for a newcomer. I wore differentclothes, had differentthoughts, 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 itall, I began _
23、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 meand asked why I always sat there writing inst
24、ead 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 ess
25、ay. 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 wrongTh
26、en 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
27、 me my paper, with the following _52_ on it: "Malinda, you are an excellent writer. You fill your paper with theof writingbreathings of your heart. Please keep on writing and share your _53_ with the world. I am proud of you and glad you are in my class."Mrs. Bush helped me feel a sense of

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 thund
38、erous. 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 thatunmotivated college guy.

43、reallyclose to them, and losing them was the hardest thingI ' ve ever had to36 through. I couldn ' t eat, sleep, or think; I felt like I couldn' teven 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 depr

46、that I could 43 him. Trying hard to 44 back tears, I told him the whole story.WhenI finished, he nodded and told me, “If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth 45 your joy." What Mr. Wrightsaid really 46 a chord ( 心弦)in my heart. He 47 cared about me and what was going on
