Question

Once my mother told me a story. In Africa,when an antelope(玲羊）wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is，“ I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion，or I will be 1. k illed   ’’ At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream. The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the

2. s lowest antelope or I will die of 3. h unger . ” So, almost at the same time, the antelope and the lion get up and start running toward the rising sun.

This is life ： full of chances and challenge. Whether you are an antelope or a lion,you must go 4. a head when the sun rises. For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard，sooner or later，we will fall

5. b ehind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always

6. w inners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.

Each time 1 saw children playing games and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents’ words： “You must work very hard in order to have a good 7. f uture ’’ So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.

I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. I 8. s uddenly knew what competition was. It is not as 9. c ruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite ： it is kind and necessary.

I learned a lot from 10. r ealizing this fact. Now I understand more about the world. Competition is important for us all.
