My son Joey was born with club feet(先天性的畸形脚). The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk __21__, but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were __22__ in surgery(手术). By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a __23__ when you saw him walk.

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during __24__, and Joey would jump right in, run and play, too. We __25__ told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to __26__ as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.

In seventh grade he __27__ to go out for the running team. Every day he __28__ with the team. He worked harder and ran __29__ than any of the others-perhaps he sensed that the __30__ that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. __31__ the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to __32__ points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.

He __33__ to run four to five miles a day, every day-even the day he had a 103 degree fever. I was __34__, so I went to look for him after school. I found him __35__ all alone. I asked him how he felt. “Okey.” he said. He had two more __36__ to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. __37__ he looked straight ahead and kept running.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were __38__. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in __39__ grade－the other six team members were all eight graders. We never told him he shouldn’t __40__ to make the team. We never told him he couldn’t do it, so he didn’t know. He just did it.
