I like my bike. It brings me a lot of fun. When I was an  1  boy, my father bought it for me. It is my “horse”. I often go to school   2   my bike. I like riding a bike  3  it is very convenient. If I go out by bike, it is  4  to find a place for parking it. Bikes are very cheap, so most people can buy one. There are three people in my family.  5  of us has a bike. My parents are teachers in my school. In the morning, Mum, Dad and I each  6  to school. However on a rainy day we walk to school, because the road is bad for riding. I think riding bikes can make us  7  . It not only helps us exercise more but also  8  the air clean. The bike is very important in Chinese people’s life. So riding bikes can help you to  9  more about China and the Chinese people. Now people in the world say China is the country of bikes because there are  10  bikes in China. I hope people all round the world like them.

I like taking a long walk in the nature park. I do that    1  . It really makes a great    2   to the whole day! I usually walk up this nice long road. It’s so quiet and pleasant    3   there are so many green trees.

This morning, I walked on that road as usual.    4   I was walking back down the road, on my way back    5   the car, I met a man. I saw him    6  

on the grass by the roadside. He was breathing(呼吸) really    7  . I asked if he was OK. He said he was    8   tired to walk anymore. I thought he needed some    9  . So I began to look for some clean water.    40  , there weren’t any places to get water in    11   a nature park. I walked back to my car    12  

to see if there was some. Because I sometimes bring bottled water and leave    13  

in my car. Thankfully, I found some today.

Instead of (代替) drinking it myself, I drove back to the man and gave him my bottle of water. Then I gave him a    14   back to his car. He was so thankful! I could tell he was very happy and surprised that someone was    15   to come back for him and give him some water. And also, I was very happy that I could share my water with others.

 With a determined(坚定的) look on his face, Chicago’s Michael McCarthy held on to the banister(扶手) and climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago. The Tower stands 1,451 feet(442 meters) tall, the_21_ building in the US.

 As he got to the last step, McCarthy _22_ fell down, but that didn’t stop him. The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he _23_ cheers from many people.

“I just want to show people that _24_ a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢) and use a stick to walk. But McCarthy has a strong 25  . He believes having a disability(残疾) shouldn’t stop anyone  26   achieving his or her success.

He has been in a special school  27   he was four. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his teacher, Jeff Kohn, was   28   by his determination(决心) and offered to help train him. They   29   more than ten hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prosthetics and sticks on the steps every day. “  30   seems that he never knows how difficult it is.  31   I was so tired that I asked him to rest for a day,”said Kohn. “But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more  32  .”

Kohn always walked with McCarthy for the climb. “I   33   the last 10 floors, he went faster,” said Kohn. “He’s the most craven sportsman I’ve ever trained.”

McCarthy said he was   34   of himself and that the tower now holds special meaning. “When I’m older, I’ll   35   to the building and say ‘Look at this building I climbed’,” he said.

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.

My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very   36   life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would   37   my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never   38   again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I didn’t want to be bad enough. She   39   that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school-walking on my own!

When the Great Depression(大萧条)  40  , my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support(支撑) both of us. At that moment, I decided never to be   41   again.

Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real   42   point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1916. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels for families and was angry that they charged(收费)an extra $2 for each child. That was too   43   for most American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a hotel for families that would never charge extra for   44  . There were plenty of doubters at that time.

Not   45  , mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of hard time. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my heart, I   46   doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world­ - Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.

You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a   47   in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
