The Special Olympic World Games are an international sports meeting. They are held every two years. They give children and adults with intellectual disabilities a chance to show their skills to the world. They include many events similar to those in the Olympics, such as basketball, football and swimming.

For the athletes and their families, the experience helps open up a new word to them. For volunteers, coaches and other supporters from all parts of the world, the Games inspire(鼓舞) their hope in a brighter future and help them understand the world again.

The games are about sportsmanship(运动员精神), hard work, and national pride(骄傲). All around the world, our athletes train for months before the big event. They share a common goal—to try their best and win a gold. At World Games, they come to test themselves in front of other people and other athletes. They want to see how good they really are.

“Our athletes’ secret is simple: Don’t compete(竞争) with anyone but yourself—just try to beat your best. Our athletes play openly and happily. That is the Special Olympics’ dream. In this world, there are millions of different abilities but no disabilities.” said Tim Shriver, Special Olympics Chairman and CEO.

 When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm(蚂蚁窝). First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box.Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
     After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
     On the fifth day something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although（虽然） the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner （角落）of the farm.

 My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand(忍受) that their tunnels were gone.

 Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.

 Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.

 But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.

 Giving up is not a good choice.
