Once there was a little boy. He was famous as a fast 1 in his village. He thought nothing was more important than winning every running race(比赛), because he wanted to become more 2 .

One day, the boy joined a running race in his village. He 3 the 100, 200 and 50- meter races without any problem. He got a great 4 and was very excited. So he thought no one was 5 than him.

But his grandfather walked towards him and asked him to have a 6 with an old man and a blind(瞎的) girl. The boy thought it was a little 7 but accepted.

In the race, the boy finished first, but the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. He was happy and waved his hands at people. But they said 8 .

" Why are people not cheering for 9 like before? " he asked his grandfather.

The grandfather said "10 the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finishing line at the same time".

The boy didn't know why 11 he agreed to the race.

During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked 12 with them to the finishing line. The people gave them a great cheer.

The boy asked his grandfather, " For whom are the people cheering? Is it for me, or them? "

The grandfather 13 and said, " They did not cheer for any one of you. They cheered for 14 you all ran the race together."

Facing the race of life, the most important thing is not just 15 , but how you run the race.

A: Hello! {#blank#}1{#/blank#} am Julie. What's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} name?

B: Hi! {#blank#}3{#/blank#} name is Frank. 

A: Nice to meet you, Frank. 

B: Nice to meet you, too.
