I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago. I’m the mid-field player on my team. But in fact that’s not______now. I was the mid-field player because, as I said, this was my _______ game. That’s a good way to end a high school football career (生涯), especially if you win, but even though you don’t, it’s ______ to leave at a high point.

I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad_______football, and he used to practise with me at home – passing, catching, running. We used to practise almost every evening _______it got too dark. He tried to teach me everything he knew about the______ . “Just remember: don’t ever______ .” “Stay in the game. Don’t lose your concentration (专注).” “Go out there and give 110 percent every time.” Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words______ in my ears.

I had a lot on my mind_______ the game today. I don’t like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn’t sleep at all_______ , and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where ______just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But then when the game started, my mind became______ . I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn’t hear the crowd, I didn’t feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the______ , and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light_______ me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty feeling.

It’s all over now, and it’s really getting cold here. It’s starting to snow. The sun’s almost gone, and I can______see the goal. Now it’s dark and I’m sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it’s time to say good-bye and move on.
