While watching the Olympics the other night,I came across an incredible sight.The　1　was swimming and started with only three men.For one reason or another,two of them had a　2　start,so they were disqualified.That would have been difficult enough,not having anyone to 　3　against.
I watched the man　4　off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong.Now I’m not an expert　5　but I do know a good dive　6　a poor one,and this was not exactly medal　7　.I listened to the crowd begin to　8　this poor man who was clearly having a　9　time.Finally he made his turn to start back.It was　10　.He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few　11　strokes,the crowd had changed.No longer were they laughing,but beginning to　12　.Some even began to　13　things like,“Come on,you can do it！”,and he　14　finished his race.The crowd went　15　.Even though he recorded one of the　16　times in Olympic history,this man gave more heart than any of the other　17　.
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals,feeling they have　18　been cheated out of gold,or when they act so　19　in front of their competitors,it is nice to watch an underdog (失败者),a man that gave his all—knowing that he had no chance,but competed because of his　20　and the spirit of the games.

Here in Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. 1 , laws were passed to 2 the wolves from and people who catch the animals for sport or for their 3 .

I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were 　　 1　　 to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life.

I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 1 .

He had gone out of the study for some 2 , leaving me alone. In his absence. I looked to see 3 was on his desk. In the 4 was a small piece of paper on which were written the 5 “English Writing Prize 1949．History Is a Series of Biographies （人物传记）”.

A（n） 6 boy would have avoided（避免） looking at the title as soon as he saw the 7 . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 8 until the start of the exam so I could not 9 reading it.

When the headmaster 10 , I was looking out of the window.

I should have told him what had 11 then. It would have been so 12 to say: “I’m sorry, but I 13 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to 14 it.”

The chance passed and I did not 15 it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t 16 to cheat, but it was still cheating anyway.

That was thirty-eight years 17 when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, 18 have I tried to explain to myself why not.

The obvious explanation is that I could not admit（承认） I had seen the title 19 admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk. 20 there must have been more behind it. Whatever it was, it has become a good example of how a little mistake can trap （使陷入） you in a more serious moral corner （道德困境）.

　 In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He got into a life boat, but his supplies were 　1 . His chances of surviving were small. 　2 when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive—much 　3 than he was when he started, but alive.

His 　4 of how he survived is fascinating. His cleverness — how he 　5 to catch fish, how he evaporated（蒸发）sea water to 　6 fresh water — is very interesting.

But the thing that 　7 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no 　8 in continuing the struggle. He was starved and 　9 worn-out. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.

When people 　10 these kinds of circumstances (境遇), they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in 　11 desperate circumstances 　12 in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 13 difficulties.

“I tell myself I can 　14 it,” wrote Callahan in his book. “Compared to what others have been through, I’m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, 　15 up courage…”

I wrote that down after I read it. It 　16 me as something important. And I’ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 　17 off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I’ve said it, I have always come back to my 　18 .

The truth is, our circumstances are only bad compared to something better. But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with 19 others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you 　20 the rough situations with a little more courage.
