     It was the district track meeting, which we had been training for all seasons. My foot still hadn't healed from a(n)   1injury. Actually I had hesitated whether or not to  2the meet. But there I was, preparing for the 3,200-meter run.

     "Ready... set..." The gun popped and off we were. The other girls ran ahead of me. I found myself limping(跛) and felt ashamed as I  3farther and farther behind.

     The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" the  4shouted with the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meeting.

     "Maybe I should quit," I   5as I limped on. "Those people wouldn't like to wait for me to finish this race." Somehow,    6, I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran   7and decided not to compete in track next year. I couldn't beat the girl who lapped me twice, even if my foot did 8.

     When I finished, I heard a cheer-just as  9as the one the first-place girl received "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. "They  10be cheering for the boys."

     I thought, "Courage? She must be  12me for someone else. I just  13a race!  I would have never been able to finish those two miles  14I were you. What happened to your foot? We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"

     I couldn't believe it. A(n)  15stranger had cheered for me-not for my victory, but for my perseverance. Suddenly I  16hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my  17.

     That day I learned two things. First, a  18kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them. Second, strength and courage aren't measured in the  19and victories.                                                         They are measured in the struggles we 20.
