Jason turned off the TV after watching the X Games. Sportsmen from all over the world were competing in the most amazing sports.
Just then his grandmother walked into the room1 some cookies. Jason took one and said"I want to be extreme(极限). "
"You are!"she2 .
"I mean I want to be an extreme sportsman. "said Jason.
"Well, "she saId, "surfing is out. We are hundreds of miles from the3 . I guess it will have to be skateboarding. "
"Would you really let me? You always worry about my4 !"said Jason.
"You will have to follow some rules, "said his grandmother. "You can only ride in the park but5 on the streets. You have to promise to wear a helmet. If you hurt6 too much, I have the right to take your board away. Is it a deal?"
"You bet!"Jason was so excited that he jumped up. Cookie crumbs(饼干屑) flew7 .
On Saturday, his grandmother8 him off near the park. "I'll be up the street at the library. "she said. "Meet me there when you've had enough. "
"OK. Thanks, " Jason said9 he got out of the car. He was happy that his grandmother let him try new things.
However, while watching kids in the park moving up and down the ramp freely, Jason felt a bit 10 . He knew that none of it was going to be easy.
Very 11 he carried his board to the ramp. Taking a deep breath, he put his right foot on the board. He kicked off with his left foot. For a few seconds he glided(滑) along, just waiting to fall. Finally he came to a stop. Then he tried again, 12 the worst to happen. Again, he stayed up safely. The 13 time he glided, lost his balance, and fell hard on his left knee.
It hurt, but it was okay! 14 was he so afraid? Now he felt calm.
Next time he kicked off harder and went faster and farther.
"Excellent!"shouted a girl as she passed him.
"Excellent!"laughed Jason to himself. "Not quite. But I believe I will15 it one day!"
