Last week I went to an art show. A painting caught my eyes. To my amazement, it was painted by Steven, one of my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.Then many things about him came into my mind.

    Steven was from a poor family. His parents {#blank#}2{#/blank#} not afford to buy him some basic things that he needed. Once our school provided gloves for poor children. I put Steven's name on the list. He was so {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when he received a pair .He loved to wear them and they were always {#blank#}4{#/blank#} than anybody else's.

    Steven had a talent for painting and he could {#blank#}5{#/blank#} understand what I described in class .But he didn't have money to buy the paper for painting. So sometimes I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} him some. He practiced hard and I often show his paintings to the class. He was greatly {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

    One day just before the summer vacation ,he came to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} some art books. When the new term began, he showed some of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} paintings to me. I felt shocked. They were good. Then we talked a lot. He said he would keep on.

    Later he was admitted to a famous art university. After graduation, he had many difficulties, but he never gave up. He was always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} his best to improve himself.
