I will never forget watching my son play soccer in his middle school. My son was not a star player.     1    fact, he didn’t have the opportunity to play for long in each game because the rules at that time made sure everyone should join in the game. In one game, with the score tied and time     2    (run) out, he was playing a defensive position. The other team’s star player got     3    ball but my son was in his way. Somehow, when they met, the result was that the star player     4    (fall) on the ground and my son got the ball. He ran with     5    and had a clear path to the goal. His coach jumped up and down     6    (shout) “go” and most of the parents cheered for victory.
When my son kicked the ball several yards towards the goal, he     7    (sudden) stopped and went back to the star player, helping him up. When we all got     8    (enthusiasm) about the game and forgot about basic values of fairness and fun, my son helped a player of the other team. Deeply     9    (touch) after the game, I hugged my son with     10    (proud). I was so glad that my son knew there was something more important than winning.

Peter: I cannot control my body well. My legs become     3    (pain).
Jonny: Keep     4    (hold) your position for a while. It helps develop your strength and flexibility. Raise your leg and let     5     stay in the air for seconds.
Peter: I feel my legs shaking. I cannot do this any longer.
Jonny: Be patient! Tai Chi     6    (call) “shadow boxing” in English. It asks you to act like water: to be flexible as well     7     strong. In real competition, a Tai Chi master borrows the strength of the competitor and uses this energy to fight back. The     8    (hard) you try to beat him, the more likely you will get hit. He controls you!
