When I was 13, my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.

That meant beating out Miller King, who was the best ________________ at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for_____________. Just before September, Miller was hit by a car and lost his right________________. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very ________________, but he didn’t cry. That season, I _________________ all of Miller’s records while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player,_____________I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for (为 负责) Miller’s accident.

One afternoon, I was crossing the field and saw Miller stuck (卡在) going over a fence — which wasn’t ________________ to climb with both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to________________ help from. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally________________ on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did_________________Thank you for filling in for me.”

His words freed me from my bad dreams. I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was still ahead of me. I was right to have admired him. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.

You are visiting the Eiffel Tower in France, but the next second you are in Thailand. Then, suddenly you may have dinner with Barack Obama in America. But you are not dreaming. This is what might happen in the near future. With the help of virtual reality (VR,虚拟现实) technology, a lot of changes are taking place in our life.

VR is a computer technology that makes an environment and allows users to see and even interact(互动) with it. Just wear a pair of VR glasses joined to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of your room.

"The most interesting part of VR is that it offers an immersive (身临其境的) experience," said Wang Bing, leader of the Chinese entertainment company Funshow."That’s why VR movies are popular among users. You become a part of the story."According to the Report on Chinese VR Users’ Behavior last month, over 960,000 people in China have bought VR products and 83.2 percent of them have watched VR movies.

VR can also be used in some other ways. It can help to train workers before they have to work in highly dangerous environments. VR also helps patients with acrophobia (恐高症) by making them think they are standing on the top of a tall building.

However, VR technology still has a long way to go. Users report feeling sick while wearing VR glasses. Maybe it could take a period of time for VR to be widely used around the world.
