Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At this year's Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.

    On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men's short-track 500-meter race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu's win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.

    “I didn't give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the reporter after the match.

    But China's short-track teams didn't do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women's 500 meters, 3000-meter relay and men's 1500 meters all failed to take home the gold.  Wu was China's biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.

    Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their words made him quite upset. But Wu didn't want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn't return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the reporter after his match at the Olympics.

    I caught a very bad cold last weekend and had to stay at home for a whole week. The nurse in the hospital took my temperature, I had a fever. The doctor told me to take both some Chinese and some west medicine. He suggested that I should stay in bed and have a good rest.

    When he asked me what probably caused（引起）the cold, I told him the whole story.

    Last weekend, I was studying for an exam. Father said to me, "You look stressed out, son. You really need to relax. Let's go fishing in the countryside!"

    "Harrah!" I shouted.

    The next morning, we got up very early. Mother told us that it was going to rain and she suggested that we should take our raincoat with us but we were too excited to remember that. We took a train and arrived at a lake in the countryside. A few hours later, it began to rain! Soon, it began to rain cats and dogs. We had to go back home.

    When we arrived home, we were wet through. Mom asked, "Did you catch any fish?"

    "No, we didn't. But we caught cold!" Dad answered.

"Where is Bob?" asked Dad. "In his room." Anna answered. She was trying to decide on the birthday gift for Dad. This year, she wanted something that couldn't{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (buy) at a store. Then she heard Bob calling her. "Just a second," she{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reply), walking towards her brother's room. "Look!" Bob sounded close to tears (眼泪). "Toy dragon." Bob{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (real) wanted a toy dragon in the cereal (麦片) box, so he was a bit sad at finding nothing.

"Let's see what the box says, "Anna suggested. "I can't read." "You can't because you don't know how to read," she said carefully. Last year, Dad made a decision.to teach him to read, but {#blank#}4{#/blank#} result was terrible. They both gave up. Anna finished {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (read) the box. "No promise of a toy dragon," she said. "I wish you could read. So does Dad, she added. The conversation swept away Anna's worry {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a gift for Dad. "Maybe we can prepare it together." she thought.

Soon Anna had an idea—to write and read a dragon story for Dad. When she shared it with Bob, he shook his head. Anna felt disappointed. Without{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (Bob) help, there would be no present. "We'll try for ten days," She said. "Then we'll decide if it'll work." Bob counted with his fingers, saying loudly, "Just ten days."

The first day was the hardest. "I need your help, Bob," Anna said. "Just tell me{#blank#}8{#/blank#} you felt when discovering there was no dragon." "I was mad and sad." "That's it." She then printed this on the notebook: I was mad{#blank#}9{#/blank#} sad, too. Bob watched. "Which word is ' mad'?" Anna pointed. "What's next?" Anna asked. Bob was silent. "It's a story," she said. "You're the teller. If you can't do it, I will." "No! I want to tell{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (many) than today." Bob shouted. "So…that night I. "Each day, Bob told more of his dragon stary.

Last month, our family had a trip to Shanghai Disneyland. At the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , we tried the motorcycle— style trains(过山车). It seemed {#blank#}2{#/blank#} but exciting. After we got off,I still felt a little dizzy(晕的), so I almost {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . All my families had a good laugh. Later we went to the Fantasy World, we just sat there {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to meet the lovely characters such as Winnie, Snow White and Mickey Mouse. It was really an unforgettable trip, we will {#blank#}5{#/blank#} visit it again next summer vacation!
