I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago. I'm the mid-field player on my team. But in fact that's not 1 now. I was the mid-field player because, as I said, this was my 2 game. That's a good way to end a high school football career (生涯), especially if you win, but even though you don't, it's 3 to leave at a high point.

    I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad 4 football, and he used to practise with me at home – passing, catching, running. We used to practise almost every evening 5 it got too dark. He tried to teach me everything he knew about the 6.  “Just remember: don't ever 7.” “Stay in the game. Don't lose your concentration (专注).” “Go out there and give 110 percent every time.” Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words 8 in my ears.

    I had a lot on my mind 9 the game today. I don't like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn't sleep at all 10, and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where 11 just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But then when the game started, my mind became 12. I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn't hear the crowd, I didn't feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the 13, and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light 14 me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty feeling.

    It's all over now, and it's really getting cold here. It's starting to snow. The sun's almost gone, and I can 15 see the goal. Now it's dark and I'm sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it's time to say good-bye and move on.

    Today is Sunday. The weather is fine. Huiyuan Supermarket is on 1 sale. There are many 2 kinds of things and many people are in it.

    Now Sally and her mother are also there. Sally 3 a nice sandwich, but it's too small. She'd like a 4 one. Then she sees a large-sized hamburger 5 beef. She asks her mother to buy it for her. When she sees some 6, she also asks her mother to buy them. 7 her mother buys a hamburger, some orange juice and green tea. After that they want to buy something for their 8, Carol. Carol is a dog. She 9 playing with balls. So they buy her a ball.

    How much are these things? Only 40 yuan. And Sally is lucky. She 10 a gift from the supermarket. It is a red hat. Sally and her mother go home happily.

    It was a lovely spring afternoon. My classmates and I were playing happily on the playground when I let out a cry, “Ow! Ow! Something in my shoe is biting me.”

    Everyone was shocked（震惊） by the cry. They took me into a classroom and were about to take off my1. “Which foot is it?” One asked “let us have a look.”

    Suddenly, I remembered the holes in2socks. My family was very poor during those years. I wore welfare （福利）socks, which cost only a little, but those3welfare socks didn't last long. They soon had 4at the bottom.

    I refused to take off my shoe. I5stand others seeing the holes in my sock. I tried to hold back my tears. Yet, each time the thing6my shoe bit me, tears raced down my face.

    My teacher, Miss Diane, hurried into the7, “What's wrong?” She asked.

    “Something is biting her right foot,8she doesn't let us take off her shoe,” One of my classmates answered.

    Miss Diane lived next door to me. She9everything about my family .She put both hands on my shaking shoulders and10into my painful and hopeless eyes.

    “Oh, yes, it must be a sock-eating ant,” She said, as if she had11seen the thing inside the shoe. “I had a bite from one of those ants. When I got my shoe off ,it 12almost the whole bottom off my sock.” My classmates nodded while they were listening to the teacher13, although they all looked a little surprised.

Miss Diane took off my right shoe and sock and shook them over the dustbin. Two red ants 14it.

    “Just what I thought it. The ants have eaten part of her sock.” When she stroked an alcohol （酒精）cotton ball on the bites, she added, “You are such a 15girl to take so many bites.”

    The alcohol felt cool on the bites and a little girl's pride was saved by the “sock-eating ant ” story.

We had great fun 3 in the water. In the afternoon, we went shopping. There were too many people in the shops, 4 I didn't really enjoy it. On the next day, we went to a 5. There were some old things on show in it. It was kind of boring. I saw a little boy 6 in the corner. He was lost and I helped him 7 his father. That made him feel very 8.

Then we 15 a train back to Quzhou at 4: 30 p. m. It was a tiring holiday, but we really enjoyed ourselves very much.
