We have a terrible school trip last weekend. Some students were late. Then we waited half an hour for the school bus, but it didn’t arrive. Finally, our teacher took us to take the subway. It took us about an hour. After we got off the subway, we walked and got lost. When we finally arrived at the zoo, we were tired and hungry. We wanted to see dolphins, but there weren’t any. There were some really smart seals, but we didn’t see the show because we arrived too late. We left our camera at school, so we didn’t take any photos. Then it started to rain, and no one had an umbrella. So we went for lunch. My friends had some ice cream. But I didn’t have any, because I don’t like it. We didn’t see many animals because of the rain. Finally we went back to school. We were wet, tired and stressed out(紧张). I didn’t enjoy my school trip at all.

With a determined(坚定的) look on his face, Chicago’s Michael McCarthy held on to the banister(扶手) and climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago. The Tower stands 1,451 feet tall, the      building in the US.

As he got to the last step, McCarthy      fell down, but that didn’t stop him. The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he      cheers from many people.

“I just want to show people that      a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢) and use a stick to walk. But McCarthy has a strong     . He believes having a disability shouldn’t stop anyone     achieving his or her success.

He has been in a special school      he was four. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his teacher, Jeff Kohn, was moved by his determination(决心) and offered      train him. They      more than ten hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prosthetics and sticks on the steps every day. “     seems that he never knows how difficult it is.      I was so tired that I asked him to rest for a day,” said Kohn. “But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more      .”

Kohn always walked with McCarthy for the climb. “I  found when climbing the last 10 floors, he went faster,” said Kohn. “He’s the      sportsman I’ve ever trained.”

McCarthy said he was       of himself and that the tower now holds special meaning. “When I’m older, I’ll  point(指着) to the building and      ‘Look at this building I climbed’,”
