六、完形填空。
Once when I was a young boy, I boasted (自夸) that I made up my mind to win first place in the coming piano competition, but I knew this goal was 1 impossible. Every year, the best players from all over the state took part in this 2. It was a hard thing, especially 3 a beginner like me.
My mom was my faithful 4. Every day after school, she would sit down right next to me while Miss Green was giving me piano lessons or I was 5 my piano piece. When I couldn't and wouldn't play any longer, she would always say, “If you make up your mind to win, then act. Don't 6.” After every practice, my whole body was in pain for numb (麻木的) fingers and stiff (僵硬的) back. However, I didn't want to disappoint my mom, so I kept on practicing 7 I finally slept on the piano keys.
Finally, the big day 8. I got up early that morning. Right before my 9 to perform, my mom said, “I know you want to win, but listen to me: be there for the 10, not for success, okay?” I managed to nod.
When I walked onto the stage, I was 11 that the judges would hear the beating of my heart instead of the music. Carefully, I took a 12 before the piano and began to play. Slowly, I began to 13 the world around me. I just let 14 fall deeper and deeper into the music.
In the end, I won first prize. The experience made me realize that determination (决心) is not just saying that you will win. As my mom always said, “It's 15 to beat the person who is the best, but it is hard to beat the person who never gives up.”
