【题目】 I’m a girl, Rosie. Racing on the 1,500-meter track (跑道), I’m so tired. I want to stop but a voice is repeating in my head, “No one knows what the result will be. Everything is still possible.” Today, I have to fight with myself.

Nine years ago, when I was a 6-year-old girl, my mother took me on a trip. We went to the foot of a high mountain which she told me that we would climb. I had never done this before and the thought of it made me very happy.

At the beginning, I was so excited, and climbed fast. But half an hour later, when I was thirsty and tired, I just stopped and sat on the ground, completely silent. My mom came and sat next to me.

She said, “Get up and go on!”

Crying, I almost shouted, “Never! It’s too tiring and I am thirsty. I want to go back home now.”

Patiently she explained, “Listen, my dear. If you try your best, anything is possible. If you don’t try, your dream will never come true. You will never know how beautiful the sights look unless you reach the top of the mountain.”

Hearing her words, I stopped crying and started to climb again. Finally I did reach the top of the mountain and enjoyed the fantastic view.

Today I’m on the racing track. I’m going to keep running because I know it’s always valuable. And in the end I made it — I got through the finish line.
