I started to love running at a young age. I loved to race my father and my sister around the backyard. I wished I could run in the Olympics and win lots of medals.

One day my mother 　41 an advertisement for a race in a newspaper. “Would you be 　42 in taking part in this race ? ” she asked me, pointing to the advertisement.

　 “Yes, of course.” I answered.

　　 I ____43___ the next few days practicing for my big race. My sister set up a table in the backyard so she could offer me water and 　44　 me.

　　 On the day of the race, just before the race , my father said to me , “ Don’t 　 45　 up all your energy(能量)at the beginning of the race. You need to have energy ___46____ you can run much faster at the end. ”

　 The race ____47___ . Following Dad’ s words, I didn’t run as fast as I could. Then the other runners started 　 48　 me, which made me feel nervous. I began to feel tired, and I started slowing down and breathing __49__ .

　 Just at that moment I heard, “ __50___, Kelly! You can do it ! Don’t give up . keep running!” Out of the comer of my eye I saw Dad running beside me around the outside or the track .

　 I took a deep breath and tried my best to 　51　 on running. I didn’t win the race. I came fifth, but I 　 52　 like a winner. I tried my best, and I hadn’t given up.

　 Later, as I thought about the race, I felt thankful that my dad had _53__ left my side. He always encourages(鼓励) me when I __54___ giving up. He runs along side me through my life. I’ll remember my dad’s words forever, “Never give up. You can be a winner even if you 　55 .”
