C

Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing(回响) across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O’Donnel had scored!

Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome(综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Minkey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.

Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”

  I have been working since I was thirteen, and always in   4   in which I was working with adults.I have had to learn to think and   5   like an adult to be taken seriously.So, I count myself as one who has grown up too fast.I just graduated from high school, and have recently spent some time reflecting(反思)on the   6   eighteen years-thinking about myself, what I have gained, and what   7   I have yet to achieve.

  We are expected to work hard, get excellent   8  , be in a good relationship, and know what we want to do   9  .The list goes on and on.But the   10   is clear:We live in a society today that is   11   our childhood.We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy-free.We are expected to   12   the strict school rules and to excel(擅长)in everything we do.I’ve known these things for a long time, and knew that they   13   me.But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I learned a   14   lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work.We had finished a job at a remote site.It was about 11∶30 at nig-ht, and we had   15   to his house.We were talking about the   16   he had been making to his home.One of the things he said was “I   17   my basketball hoop(篮圈).” Then he threw a basketball to me.

  I hadn’t   18   a basketball in five years.

  We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 40 minutes.Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time   19   away like children.Then I realized something:I am still a child.Oh, the law says I’m an adult.But, we are still really and truly children.We all need to have   20   once in a while.
