Around two weeks ago, I was invited to be a judge(裁判) at a college. All of the students had been given a piece of paper with a topic written on it. The first one to speak looked a little   11   . “My dear friends and judges,” he said loudly, “this is an unfair    12   ! I have been given the paper,” he continued, “to speak on the topic with just a few minutes’ preparation,    13   those who come after me have more time to   14   their speeches!” He then left the stage and went out of the hall.

I met him later by chance. “Who said life is   15   ?” I asked him with a smile, and I asked him to walk with me to my car. “Have you seen the figures(数字) they show when a new car is   16   into the market, saying how good it is?” 

“Yes,” he nodded.

“But they put a   17   after all these figures. They say all the figures are in ideal road conditions!”

“Yes,” he said again.

“Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him, and he smiled. “The car that sells well is the one   18   will provide power and speed on the   19   roads. That car is the winner.”

We had got to the car. “Don’t look for ideal competition conditions,” I said. “   20    the unfair and come out a winner!”

I looked back as I drove away and saw him smile and wave, and I knew he would do as I said.
