When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a 　41 .

　　 It was the early autumn of my 　42 year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. 　43 , no one knew who I was. I was very 　44 , and afraid to make friends with anyone.

　　 Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart 　45 . I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problems. And I didn’t want my parents to 　 46 me.

　　 Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily 　47 . At that moment, a boy 　48 the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, 　49 a word, smiled.

Suddenly, I 　50 the touch of something bright and friendly. 　51 made me feel happy and warm.

That smile 　52 my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became 　53 to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.

One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t 　54 smiling at me!

It doesn’t 　55 because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

I started to love running at a young age. I loved to race my father and my sister around the backyard. I wished I could run in the Olympics and win lots of medals.

One day my mother 　41 an advertisement for a race in a newspaper. “Would you be 　42 in taking part in this race ? ” she asked me, pointing to the advertisement.

　 “Yes, of course.” I answered.

　　 I ____43___ the next few days practicing for my big race. My sister set up a table in the backyard so she could offer me water and 　44　 me.

　　 On the day of the race, just before the race , my father said to me , “ Don’t 　 45　 up all your energy(能量)at the beginning of the race. You need to have energy ___46____ you can run much faster at the end. ”

　 The race ____47___ . Following Dad’ s words, I didn’t run as fast as I could. Then the other runners started 　 48　 me, which made me feel nervous. I began to feel tired, and I started slowing down and breathing __49__ .

　 Just at that moment I heard, “ __50___, Kelly! You can do it ! Don’t give up . keep running!” Out of the comer of my eye I saw Dad running beside me around the outside or the track .

　 I took a deep breath and tried my best to 　51　 on running. I didn’t win the race. I came fifth, but I 　 52　 like a winner. I tried my best, and I hadn’t given up.

　 Later, as I thought about the race, I felt thankful that my dad had _53__ left my side. He always encourages(鼓励) me when I __54___ giving up. He runs along side me through my life. I’ll remember my dad’s words forever, “Never give up. You can be a winner even if you 　55 .”
