　　In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football．I gave the same 　　1　　 each year, aimin g at recruiting(招收)new team members．I talked about 　　2　　 football wasn't just for 　　3　　 athletes and how everyone could 　　4　　 from it．This year, a 　　5　　 looking couple approached me after my speech．They said their son really wanted to play football．They had tried to 　　6　　 him out of it, but he had his heart 　　7　　 on joining the team．

　　When they told me his name, my heart sank．Michael was five feet and ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds．He was a 　　8　　 boy, the constant target of other kids' jokes, and as far as I knew he had never 　　9　　 sports．I knew he would never 　　10　　 it through football practice, let 　　11　　 as a player．But we told them we could give it a try．

　　On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field, we did 30 minutes of warming-up 　　12　　 starting a one-mile jog around the track．I 　　13　　 my eye on Michael．At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet．“Michael,”I said,“Why don't you just 　　14　　 the mile?”He said in tears that he wanted to run with the others, so I let him go on．　　15　　 he fell, but each time 　　16　　 himself up．

　　The same thing happened every day for weeks, and Michael gained strength both 　　17　　 and physically．By the last week of practice, Michael could run the mile without falling, we had 　　18　　 only one game that season, 　　19　　 the team cheered louder for Michael's run than the victory they had, Afterward, Michael approached me, and I told him how 　　20　　 I was of him．

　　As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”

　　I always take a deep 　　1　　 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．

　　“I just won a sales contest at work and the 　　2　　 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”

　　She was so 　　3　　．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 　　4　　 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．

　　“　　5　　 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 　　6　　．”

　　It was early 　　7　　 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n)　　8　　 of the river．And the table was 　　9　　 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．

　　A delicious meal 　　10　　 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 　　11　　, this will probably never be forgotten．

　　As the shadows lengthened, the 　　12　　 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”

　　Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 　　13　　 realized there were so many 　　14　　 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．

　　“Probably your new straw hat or your 　　15　　,”she said．

　　After receiving many smiles, we 　　16　　 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 　　17　　．It was then that I saw the 　　18　　 for all the smiles．

　　Caught in the fly of my trousers and 　　19　　 down for all to see was a bright red 　　20　　 from the restaurant!

　　I'm someone who never went to university but always thought about it．The only way I 　　1　　was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were 　　2　　．University was just a life-long 　　3　　of mine．I just turned sixty-four years old in September．I still thought about that old dream 　　4　　 one day when there was an Advanced-Age 　　5　　 at the local university．I decided to 　　6　　．

　　The day finally arrived-my first day of school．As I 　　7　　 there, my mind was filled with 　　8　　

　　thoughts, “What am I doing?I'm not smart enough to go to university．The 　　9　　 will laugh when they see me in class．I probably won't live long enough to get a 　　10　　．Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home．”

　　Then, 　　11　　, I saw it!A large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of Kermit the Frog．I 　　12　　 a little and read the words next to his picture．“Live your dreams．” Was Kermit speaking me?I didn't turn the car around．

　　I drove a little 　　13　　 on up the highway and there was another 　　14　　．This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 　　15　　 out．A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein．” And there was a word in red, “ Confidence”．A new attitude was 　　16　　 inside me．

　　I was now 　　17　　 the gate of the university and there 　　18　　 still another billboard．This one showed a photograph of a proud 　　19　　 in a cap and gown．Under the picture was her 　　20　　, Nola Ochs, aged 95．Oldest University Graduate．Below it was the words, “ Live Life ”．At that moment, my outlook changed completely．
