Learn to rise again

    It is not always easy to discover yourself.From a(/an)1age, I had a strong sense of who I wouldbecome—but an accident changed everything.

    To me, skating was more2thananything else in the world. Nothing else filled my heart with so much3.I spent 24 hours a week developing my skills. I had no social life or interestsother than4.But I was rewarded (回报) with first place medals in nearly every competition.

   5,during one competition, I fell and was badly injured. The doctor told me that Icouldn't skate any more. The pain in my back was6tobear (忍受) and even basic daily tasks became difficult.

    My passion (激情) had been7.I lost heart and had no idea what I would become. After eight months of suffering,something had to8. Instead of sitting around and wasting mydays, I began to work with local community service projects. By volunteering asa swimming teacher and summer reading assistant (助教) for kids, I gotan idea of whom I wanted to become. After a few months, I9anew interest. Little by little, I stepped out of the shadow and rebuilt my confidence.

    Sometimes, challenges in life will get in theway. We can choose to stay behind or try to get past these challenges.  My10was a challenge that failedto stop me from reaching success. Today, I'm a very confident and optimistic (乐观的) person.

A father and his son took part in a marathon(马拉松) in Zhejiang Province. The father Luo Shujian ran the marathon while 1 pushed his son Xiaobai with a cart(手推车).

Xiaobai was born 2 2009. He fell ill when he was six months old. That's bad news for the family. And he had another serious disease at the age of 3 . Doctors told Luo that his 4 needed care all the time. Xiaobai cannot 5 and he has to stay at home most of the time. Luo wanted to take his son to see a 6 world than before. They had their first try at the7- kilometer marathon in 2015 and finished 7 race in about an hour. Li found that Xiaobai was excited 8 happy during the race.

Luo said joining in the races was also a good chance 9 Xiaobai to visit different places in the country and make Xiaobai's life more colorful.

10 great father he is! He is really a hero.

In 1742,a German mathematician( 数 学 家 )called Goldbach came up with {#blank#}1{#/blank#}new Maths problem.It was the famous/ Goldbach Conjecture(哥德巴赫 猜想).However,he himself couldn't solve it.Many other mathematicians tried, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}they all failed.

More than 200 years later,a Chinese mathematician named Chen Jingrun)found a way to partly solve the problem.The world was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(excite)about it. How could Chen succeed? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (he)talent was one reason,of course.But more{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (important),it was because Chen loved Maths very much.He spent all his life{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (solve)Maths  problems.Chen often studied very late at night.In order not to bother(打扰)others,he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (move)into a small room,which was only 6 square metres.There was no table or chair in it!Chen had to work on his bed,and all he had was a pen.With that pen,he wrote over 200{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(page)about the Goldbach Conjecture.Finally,the problem was solved to a certain degree, helping proceed(推进)with the work.

Once,an American university invited Chen{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(pay)a visit to it. During the four months,he stayed all the time in the university and he didn't travel anywhere.To save time,he ate noodles for each meal.Throughout his life,the only thing Chen cared about was Maths.Thanks to his perseverance and dill diligence,Chen progressed rapidly in Maths researches and his love{#blank#}10{#/blank#} Maths was finally rewarded:
