 "He didn't have such a wish," I insisted. " He won the race by perseverance (毅力) ，by pushing on steadily."

  Tommy thought for a w 7       "That's a l 8       ，" he said. "He won the race because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't h 9       to fall asleep,the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like,or a hundred times steadier,but he'd never have won the race!That's for s 10       ”
