When I was in high school, our physics teacher gave us a challenge     1     involved making a paper airplane of any shape.

The only objective was     2     (get) it to fly as far as possible. I had some paper airplane making skills so I made the best plane I could and it     3     (fly) pretty far.

One guy made the greatest, yet     4     (simple) paper airplane of all time. He stood there at the starting line     5     a regular piece of paper. Some classmates scratched their head while silently     6     (stare) at him. Moments later he took     7     piece of paper, crumpled it up into a ball, and threw it down the way.

He beat the class with     8     (easy).

Some of the students got mad     9     said that he cheated.

The physics teacher said, “I said     10     could be any shape. A paper ball is indeed a shape.”

One Sept 17^th, Lang Ping, the head coach of China’s national women’s volleyball team, arrived at my high school. I could taste the excitement in the atmosphere on that quiet Saturday morning. At about 9 o'clock, all the Senior 3 students gathered in the school stadium,     1    (wait) for the arrival of Lang Ping and her team. The moment Lang     2    (step) into the stadium, we clapped     3    (excite). Lang shared her life with us in her speech. She said it was faith and courage that had led her, step by step,     4    success.

As a Senior 3 student, we are likely to come across many difficulties,     5    often makes us think we’ll never get through our hardships. However, sometimes it is not the success    6    the process that matters most. We should hold fewer negative thoughts and work harder     7    (pursue)our goals without hesitation.

I think it was not only a    8    (fortune) experience for me, but also a powerful one, as Lang’s words gave us         9    (strong). I will keep in mind what she told us: Trust     10    (you)and fight every step to win!
