It was an unforgettable night. The noisy Mexico City gradually calmed down. The main Olympic stadium was in     1     (dark).

Out of curiosity, Greenspan went over to ask why the athlete ran to the end with such difficulty. The young man     5     (reply), ”My country sent me here not to let me start off a race in the competition, but to make me complete the game. I have been left behind but I have a goal     6     all the other runners: I will run to the end. And     7     is my motherland that gives me the power to move on.“

Deeply     8     (move)by what he said, Greenspan spread the most touching scene in the history of the Olympic Games to every comer of the world.

2 . 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的短文.

Allan, my husband, had recently moved up the tennis league's ladder（晋级赛）and would compete against someone at a similar skill level. "Do you know who your opponent is?” I asked him. My husband explained that although he knew his opponent's name, he had never met him. That's when I saw a young man—about twenty years old—at the other end of the reception area.

The young man had large muscular arms and a well-built body. He was using a skip rope at quite a fast pace； I thought he might be warming up for a tennis match. I smiled at my husband and said that might be his opponent. Allan gave me a frustrated（沮丧的）look on his face, remarking it was an unusual way to prepare for a tennis match, as he continued completing his usual warm-up routine.

The league coordinator（统筹者）called out my husband's name, and then she called the young man. I gave my husband a kind of smile that wives give their husbands when they are encouraging them. The coordinator gave them their court number. They introduced themselves to each other, shook hands, and headed off.

The young man was dressed in the latest trendy tennis clothes and looked great. With his muscular body, he could have easily be a star athlete. Allan was at least thirty years older, much less muscular, and dressed in an ordinary tennis shirt and untrendy tennis shorts. Allan's focus had always been on good tennis shoes, socks, and, of course, the tennis racket.

When they walked onto their court, the pre-game warm-up began The young man played with confidence. It was almost as if he was showing his ability. Allan closely observed his various strokes and powerful serves, while casually returning each shot. Then began the game.

4 . The biggest misconception that I've ever heard of is that in order for us to find success in anything, we must be willing to give up something else.    1    .

Over the years, I've come to realize that isn't true. As I grow, I find several things are truly stopping us from living a more fulfilling life. Below are some.

Place limitations on yourself

On the surface, limitations are the things that stop you from achieving something.    2    . You'll keep facing the same problems, forced to make the same choices, and perform the same actions repeatedly. They define your current circumstances and to that extent define your quality of life.

Lack self-control

We all have some aspect about ourselves that we don't like.    3    Maybe you have a large sweet tooth and can't help yourself from eating sweet things. When you have a lack of self-control, those habits are going to remain with you until you find some way to remove them.

    4    

Our ability to come up with creative solutions for our problems comes from our ability to learn and adapt. If you're not learning anything, you're not progressing. Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Learning never exhausts the mind." And I believe it.

Final thoughts

When you get stuck on something, you are never truly stuck    5    . You don't have to be working hard to overcome that barrier, rather change your thinking in how you're approaching the problem. Give it time and keep working at it.

A．Lack self confidence.

B．Lack learning and adaptability.

C．We shouldn't bottle up our own weaknesses.

D．Maybe you're someone who drinks a lot of alcohol or smokes.

E．It means that what you are currently doing isn't enough to get you over the barrier.

F．Whether it's career or health, one must be sacrificed in order for the other to succeed.

G．However, limitations are also the things that keep you restricted in the same life cycle.

5 . A young man came across his old teacher. “I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you,” said the young man and told him the following story:

Then you shut the door and told us all to get up and began to _________ our pockets one by one. But you _________ us to close our eyes.

You went from pocket to pocket, and when my _________ came, you found the watch and took it. You __________ searching everyone's pockets until you finished, you asked us to open our eyes.

6 . With age, and the experience of achieving great success, it has become clear that physical wealth, power, fame and possessions（财产）do not add anything significant to the actually happy life. I find having ________ is nice and allows me to do many ________ things like travelling a lot.

I always buy many things, but I find things that make a life worth living cannot be ________. They can only be found in the ________ I have.

8 . Peer pressure is the phenomenon where we tend to get influenced by the lifestyles and the ways of thinking of our peers. Peer pressure can prove beneficial but it is often observed to have negative effects on society.     1     How does it affect us?

We tend to get influenced by the lifestyles of our peer group. The changing ways of life of our peers often force us to change our ways of looking at life and leading it. It's a human tendency to do what the crowd does.     2    

When you do not like a particular idea, it is obvious that you won't like to follow it. For sure, you won't like to go that way. But it is your peer group that may force you to do something you hate. In such cases, there are chances that you won't do well in those things.     3     You cannot become successful in something you have never liked doing. So, it is important that you should not lose happiness of your life by giving in to peer pressure.

There are many teenagers who experience great pressure from their peer group that forces them to take to drinking.     4     In such cases, being overly pressurized by their peers can be harmful to their living. Some teenagers actually ruin their lives by giving in to peer pressure.

    5     Extreme peer pressure may force you to go through everything they think right. You adopt their tastes of fashion, clothing, hair, music and general living. Then you lose your tastes of life and begin liking what they like.

A．Peer pressure is not always bad.

B．So what is negative peer pressure?

C．Peer pressure can lead to a loss of individuality.

D．Things you do not enjoy doing cannot bring you success.

E．However, following your peers blindly leaves a negative effect on your life.

F．They may even enjoy something as harmful as drug use because of peer pressure.

G．However, the good effect of the crowd is greater during your teen years.
