一、完形填空（共10小題，每小題1分，滿分10分）

閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，從各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出一個最佳答案。

One afternoon,I went to pick up my mother from work.I got there a little early,so I stopped my car by a small park,and _1_for her.

As I looked outside the car window,I saw a little boy,around two years old,running ___2 on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance.The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been _3_free from some sort of prison.The boy would then fall to the grass,get up,without looking back at his mother,run as _4_as he could,again,still with a smile on his face,as if nothing had happened.

At that moment,I thought to myself,“Why aren’t most adults this way?”Most adults,when they fall down,make a big deal out of it and don’t even _5_a second attempt.They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall.Or,because they fall,they would find a good _6_for themselves that they’re not fit for it.They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.

However,for kids,when they fall down,they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead,they treat it as a ___7_experience.They try again and again until they succeed.The answer must be that they have not connect“falling down”with the word“failure”.As a _8_, they are notdiscouraged(氣餒的)in any way.Besides,they _9_think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so.In other words,they allow themselves to make _10_,so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence and the manner in which he did.

It’s not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero.I didn’t really understand the meaning of the word“hero”until my third year in the college.

If you saw her,you wouldn’t think she really looks the part,but she is stronger than superman could ever be.Her name is Sandra Keierleber.I first met her at volleyball tryouts,but didn’t notice anything special at first.As the week passed,however,she showed she had more heart than anyone.She stood out because she never gave up,no matter what happened.

Sandra isn’t the tallest or the fastest,in fact,this was her first time playing volleyball,but that didn’t stop her.She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave.By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone’s heart.When the name list of new members was put up,we all waited nervously as she checked.When she stood at the door and smiled happily,all we could do was cheer.

After Sandra made the team,she worked even harder to improve her skill.When she asked for help,we gladly taught her.She also became our fan,attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games.We all like her,because she never thinks about doing things in an easy way,or loses that smile.Because of her great efforts,she makes herself a true hero, and my hero,too.
