It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn’t healed (痊愈) from a (n) __1__ injury. I had __2__ whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, __3__ for the 3 000-meter run.

    “Ready...set...” The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed __4__ me. I felt __5__ as I fell farther and farther behind.

    “Hooray!” shouted the crowd. It was the loudest __6__ I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.

    When I finished, I heard a cheer—__12_ than the one I’d heard earlier. I turned around and __13__, the boys were preparing for their race. “They must be cheering for the boys.”

    Suddenly I regained __16__.  I decided to __17__ track next year. I realized strength and courage aren’t always __18__ in medals and victories, but in the __19__ we over come (戰(zhàn)勝). The strongest people are not always the people who win, __20__ the people who don’t give up when they lose.
