    On December 14, 2017, the famous Chinese poet (诗人) Yu Guangzhong left this world in Taiwan. The news made many people sad. "Mr. Yu's poems often {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my heart when I read them...,"Mai Luoluo, a famous writer for{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, said on Sina Weibo.

    Yu was born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu. Then he moved to Taiwan{#blank#}3{#/blank#} his family in the 1950s. After that, he lived and worked there{#blank#}4{#/blank#} he died.

    Xiangchou (Nostalgia) is Yu's famous poem. People{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the poem easily if they open Chinese textbooks in senior high school. It was written from Yu's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} experience. In it, he showed how much he missed the Chinese mainland when he was in Taiwan. The poem came out in 1971. It {#blank#}7{#/blank#} became popular with all Chinese around the world. Yu is also a great translator (翻译家). And he once translated English poet Siegfried Sassoon's poem In me, Past,

    Present, Future Meet into Chinese. Most of people think it is the{#blank#}8{#/blank#} translation of all. The famous line “心有猛虎，细嗅蔷薇” just comes from his translation.

    You spent all {#blank#}9{#/blank#} life on the things he liked. Once he said, "Just because of my passion (热情) for the Chinese language, I always try my best {#blank#}10{#/blank#}something." He then added that his love for his mother and his motherland made this passion forever. Let's remember this great man.

    Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt lime there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was worst day of his life. His mind would not stop {#blank#}1{#/blank#} about what happened just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? He had let his whole team {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach might kick him off the team.

    As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked." what's wrong, son?"

    Peter's feelings were written all over his face. "I lost the game. Peter replied."

    Then he went into his room{#blank#}3{#/blank#}another word. Ten minutes later. Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.

    "Look, Peter. I don't know what happened. But{#blank#}4{#/blank#}it was, don't be too hard on yourself" "I lost the game. I failed my team. They'll probably never let me play again"" Soccer is about team work. You're not the only reason your team lost.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} you have a good team, you should support each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} from your mistakes. Peter didn't say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully.

    The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart. "Hey, guys." he said to his teammates. I'm really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue to{#blank#}7{#/blank#} together we're going to win the next one. "To his surprise and relief, his teammates all{#blank#}8{#/blank#}in agreement." Yeah," they said, "Don't worry about it.

    It's never just one Person's fault. We should think about{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we can do better next time. Peter {#blank#}10{#/blank#}made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.
