（2025·河南郑州·高三检测）"I challenge you to a hundred-meter race," my opponent, Julius, declared. He had beaten me countless times during practice, but I wanted to prove him wrong for a change. "That'll wipe the smile off his face!" I thought, even as fear started to pour in my stomach. He was well-known around the school for being the fastest runner on the track-and-field team, while I tailed behind in second place—a respectable position, but not yet good enough to surpass（超过）him. Nevertheless, I shook his hand and said, "Challenge accepted!" However, negative thoughts flooded my mind. Would I be able to win? After all, Julius' speed of light would guarantee a sure win!
Soon, all my friends and the teachers had gathered around to watch the challenge. "Oh no, I will lose and be embarrassed in front of the whole school!" I spoke in a low voice. Nevertheless, I turned my worried expression into a determined smile. To keep myself from sinking into self-doubt, I did some stretches and jumping jacks to warm up my body.
Finally, the crucial moment arrived. The referee（裁判）fired the starting gun and we took off like a shot. Adrenaline（肾上腺素）rocketed through my body as I launched myself forward. True to my expectations, Julius caught up with me easily and was in the lead! "No way will I lose! Victory, here I come!" I motivated myself as anger coursed through my body. As the race progressed, my eyes locked onto Julius, his athletic form effortlessly moving ahead. His quick steps and strong focus showcased his impressive skills. Yet, I refused to let doubt consume me. A fierce fire burnt within, fueled by a mix of unwillingness to admit defeat and anger. How dare he assume he was unbeatable? With every step, my determination solidified（变坚定）, and my resolve to surpass him strengthened.
