It was the last figure skating competition for this season. Our team must beat every other team to enter the state competition.
Skaters were practicing all over the ice. Suddenly my teammate Danielle knocked her head hard on the ice and cried loudly, then she was carried out of the rink (冰场) and sent to hospital.
“Allison,” Coach Janice came up to me, “Danielle can’t _______ today. So I need you to do the axel(前外一周半跳).”
“Coach,” I couldn’t even think of words, “I only _______ it for the first time three weeks ago! ”
“I know, but you’re the only one besides Danielle who can do it.”
At that moment, the weight of the world was on my shoulders. The axel is a high point jump, and it can make or break a team’s _______. I couldn’t be the one to stop us from going to states. But I would be, I knew it.
My teammates were all very _______. They all came up, smiled and told me I would do great. But that only made me more nervous.
It was my turn. Ready or not, I had to go. I built up some speed and jumped, hoping I would land _______. But I didn’t. I fell on the ice, hard. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.
“Allison, take the reskate,” the coach came to me.
Once, and only once in a competition, a team can have one skater skate again. It was still early, and someone else would need the chance later. I couldn’t use it, since I might fall again and _______ it.
“I can’t, Coach!”
“Allison, you can do it. Calm down, jump high, and land it. Go!”
So I went. I raised an arm towards the judges, letting them know I was going to take the reskate. The audience got into complete _______. It seemed that everybody was holding their breath. I tried to focus. I took off and rotated(旋转)my body as much as possible in the air. Then I came down, landing on my feet. I did it! My teammates screamed with _______.
Finally, our team won! We were going to states! Landing that axel made me feel like I could do anything, and who knows, maybe I could.

However, health is still a problem all over the world. Sometimes it seems quite serious.
People need more health care, especially in developing countries. Look at the following table made by World Health Organization (WHO).
Total population | Share(份额)of the health care | |
Developed Countries | 20% | 90% |
Developing countries | 80% | 10 |
The table shows that developed countries have 20 per cent of the world's population but take 90 per cent of the health care. For example, a Japanese spends five hundred dollars on health care every year. However, a person in a poor country spends only three dollars a year!
There is another health problem in developing countries. Fifty years ago, people lived a life of about forty-six years on average(平均).Now most people in the world live twenty years longer than before. People in the poorest countries, however, live a much shorter life than people in developed countries. There are thousands of patients in poor countries; most of them are children. In 2002, almost 57,000,000 people died of different kinds of diseases. And nearly 20 per cent were children under five.
It's time for us to do something to help these children!
