一、短文填空
Tom hoped to be perfect in everything he did, every single day. He always 1 (carry) a heavy backpack filled with his hope and fear. But Tom didn’t realize how much pressure(压力) he had until one day, during a school race, he felt nervous as he faced the 2 (big) competitor(竞争对手), Mike. His hands shook, and his feet 3 (hurt). Suddenly, the race began, and Tom pushed himself 4 (hard) than ever—but he still lost. “Why can’t I win?” he said to himself.
On his way home, Tom saw an old man 5 (sit) on a bench and smiling at him, “You look like you’ve had a terrible day. ” Tom explained and then the man said, “Life isn’t always about winning 6 losing. It’s about the journey and what you learn along the way. Several years ago, I was just like you—always working hard and forgetting to enjoy the moment. But now I know that 7 (happy) comes from being thankful for what we have, not from what we achieve. ”
Tom thought in 8 (silent). Maybe the man was right. 9 then on, Tom started to slow down and enjoy the small things in life—the sunset, the laughter, and even the delicious food.
He got that life wasn’t a competition but a trip of self-discovery. And sometimes, the most important decisions we make are about 10 (choose) to be happy with who we are.
