“Do you want to come with me?” Sally asked her brother. “I’m going to meet some friends at the bike course（赛道，路线）down the block. We’re going to practice for the race next week.”
“No, thanks,” Mark replied. “Sam’s coming over to play basketball.”
Sally rode off on her bike while Mark waited for his friend. Mark was fast, 35 he usually did well in most sports. He didn’t think it would 36 if he practiced the course. It could be hilly or sandy, and Mark knew he would 37 speed along.
The race day finally arrived. “My stomach feels like I ate some butterflies,” Sally told Mark when she saw so many kids around. Then they 38 the other riders at the start line.
“Sally is always nervous,” Mark thought. “Don’t worry. 39 will do fine,” he said. As soon as the starter shouted “Go!”, Mark’s legs pumped up and down like two machines. He moved 40 to the front.
A few minutes later, there wasn’t anyone ahead of him! Mark raced along the course. He rode past some pine trees. Then the path looped(环绕)around a pond. Mark was surprised that the course was so 41 .
His tired legs felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. All at once, a flash of color caught his eyes. There was a line of bike riders on the course ahead of him! “How could this be?” Mark said to himself. “I must have taken a wrong 42 and made one more loop in the course,” he thought.
Mark pushed his achy muscles(肌肉)harder. He realized his 43 alone wouldn’t be enough this time; 44 the course was just as important. He managed to ride past a couple of bike riders, but he couldn’t 45 the riders who were in the lead.
After the race Mark saw his sister. “Wow, you must have done a good job in the race. What place did you get?” Mark asked.
“Third place!” Sally answered excitedly.
“That’s great! I came in ninth place. But I’ll do better next year because I’ll be 46 enough to practice the course with you,” Mark made a face at his sister and replied.

查看习题详情和答案>>ever since, he was a little child.
One day when he was at high school, he was asked to write a paper. It was about what he wanted to
be and do when he grew up. He worked hard on it, and wrote a seven-page paper. In the paper he
described his dream of owning a big horse ranch someday.
The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front
page was a large red F(fail) with a note that read, "See me after class."
He went to see the teacher after class and asked, "Why did I receive an F?"
The teacher answered, "this is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor
family. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land.
There's no way you could ever do it." Then he added, "Write this paper again. If you write it with a
realistic plan, you may receive a better grade. "
After sitting with it for a week, he turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He said to the
teacher, "You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream. "
