题型：不详难度：来源：
When I was struggling with cancer a few years ago，my wife and I formed our own “couple caution circle”．Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress，my wife would give me a big hug. The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness，and one day a doctor brought particularly frightening news.Staring at my reports，he said in a low voice，“It doesn’t look like you’re going to make it.”
Before I could ask him a question，my wife stood up，handed me my clothes，adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said，“Let’s get out of here.This man is a risk to your health.” As she helped me struggle to the door，the doctor came near us.“Stay back，” demanded my wife.“Stay away from us.”
As we walked together down the hall，the doctor attempted to catch up with us.“Keep going，” said my wife，pushing the intravenous (静脉注射的) stand.“We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor.“Don’t come any closer to us.”
The two of us moved as one.We escaped to the safety and hope of a doctor who did not confuse diagnosis with conclusion. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone.

One cold night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco． There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a 26 practice at the theatre． With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart．I was having 27 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time． As I walked I thought seriously about 28 both acting and San Francisco．I had 29 too much of city life．
As 1 walked down the 30 streets under the tall buildings，I felt very small and cold, so I began 31 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers．Very few people were still out 32 a few homeless people under blankets．
About a block from my 33 , I heard a sound behind me． I 34 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun． The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight． Still，the noise had made me 35 , so I started to run faster． Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 36 what the noise had been．It had been my wallet 37 to the sidewalk．
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired any more．I ran out of the door and back to where I"d heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk 38 for 15 minutes，my wallet was 39 to be found．
Just as 1 was about to quit the 40 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to 41 ．When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?”I thought I was 42 ．How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an amused look in his eyes, “Is this 43 you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet．
It was already 3 am． by the time I got into bed． I couldn’t get much sleep，but I had got my wallet back． I also had got back some 44 of city life． I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place 45 people were willing to help each other．

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift． Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap（包装）．
On September 11 th , 1 958，Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is．” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night． I sang to it, I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however，I found its bed empty． My doll was gone! I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever． For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”，“pitiful"，and “dying”, which sounded Ominous．
Christmas was coming, “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room． “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough．” As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears． I’d never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs． “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry．
From the window upstairs，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them so happy． And I was also full of joy． What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home． I ran downstairs． My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love !

I got tired of living the life that everybody told me I “should” be living , so one day I decided to start living life on my own terms. Frustrated（挫败）with my job, I came home, put on my shoes, and just started running. It felt so good to be free. That first day I ended up running 30 miles without stopping. Yes, I had rediscovered my old passion ( 酷爱的事物) — and it felt so good I set a goal to support myself and my family from my running alone.
I trained hard every day. Since I wanted to be the best I could be, I knew I would have to set some clear goals for myself. A couple of my goals were: run a 135-mile ultra-marathon(超级马拉松) across Death Valley, win the Badwater Ultra-Marathon, and run a marathon to the South Pole.
I had no idea how I was going to achieve these goals, but they certainly encouraged me to work hard. Today, I am really grateful to say that I have achieved all of them. Shortly after completing these goals, I set another goal: to run fifty marathons, in fifty states, in fifty days. Nobody had done anything like this before. To be honest, I was not quite sure if I could. But there was only one way to find out…so I just started training and preparing to give it my best try.
I completed that goal one year ago, and it felt great! But for me, life is not all about achieving goals. Sure, it feels good to succeed, but the greatest reward for me was learning more about myself and what I was able to do.
Only by stepping out into the unknown and stretching(使倾注全力) ourselves can we really discover what our true potential(潜能) is。

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an incredible(难以置信的) sight. The 36 was swimming and started with only three men. For one reason or another, two of them had a 37 start, so they were disqualified. That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to 38 against.
I watched the man 39 off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong. Now I’m not an expert 40 but I do know a good dive 41 a poor one, and this was not exactly medal 42 . I listened to the crowd begin to 43 this poor man that was clearly having a 44 time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was 45 he made a few desperate(拼命的) stroke(划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few 46 strokes, the crowd had changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to 47 . Some even began to 48 things like, “Come on, you can do it!” and he 49 finished his race. The crowd went 50 . Even though he recorded one of the 51 times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other 52 .
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals, feeling they have 53 been cheated out of gold, or when they act so 54 in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog(败者), a man that gave his all --- knowing that he had no chance, but competed because of his 55 and the spirit of the games.
