【题目】 When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona team, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.

An 11-year-old schoolboy Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in Brazil to take part in the Spanish club’s summer training camp. Although he is disabled, Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class. He can run, pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able-bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.

His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun, “He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes.” Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, "He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. "Muniz’s gym teacher added, "He is challenging the social standard. When he arrived there, no one believed in him." But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent.

The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September, where he’ll be able to show off his fancy “footwork” and meet his idol, Barca soccer player Lionel Messi.

Muniz wears a prosthetic (假体的) ankle and foot to help him get around in rainy weather. He knows that his disability means he’ll never be able to play for a professional football team and so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympics (残奥会的) sport.

I still remember,during my seventy days of kindness, 1(……的开端) January, I was trying to2(想出)as many nice things as possible that I could do for people. One of them was to volunteer at a nursing home and spend time3 someone to make their day happier. Since procrastination (拖延症) was always a problem, I decided to act on that idea as soon as it came up. I4(寻找) the nearest nursing homes to my apartment5I didn't have a car and was going to bike there 6 (立刻,马上). After finding the nursing home, I called up to set up a meeting. After a brief meeting and some paper work, the following week I started playing checkers with Mr. Oates. The energy of the nursing home seemed kind of low but walking into Mr. Oates room was c7different. He had8bright smile and seemed really excited to see me. His first words to me were "I'm really happy you're here. I have been w9all day to play checkers with you." Those words alone immediately made me happy and know I made the right d10to volunteer there.

Then I continued to stop by once a week playing checkers with him and r 11 that bright smile every time I walked into his room. We would tell jokes and stories to each other. We didn't even12(注意)the time. Two hours would f13.

I really like how we were able to become friends regardless of our race, age and place in life. My14[fevrt] thing about spending time with him was his appreciation to have me around. It made15feel really special and he told me he felt the same way.
