I had been playing hockey（冰球）for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and      got into a game. I went to all the      and showed up even when it was so      that your ‘breath froze’ and when the otherplayers had decided to stay home. I felt I had      enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to      the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on      my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise      , so think about yourself in a      way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,      my shot（投球） accuracy and changing my      . 
Once in a match, we     our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my    place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going      . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little      .  But my mom’s words      out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my      work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the     to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had  
gone home had    me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s      has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I      myself.

It was a hard job to   . Before he got it, David was determined to escape the workshop ran by the Lighthouse, an organization    to help blind people.

David works alone in a dark room that    of chemicals. He cannot wear gloves.   , he could not feel. Since this is an emergency room, lives can be put    or out of danger. His directress says she trusts him 100 percent.
He makes $20,000 a year. But his motivation (動機) goes    money. "By working, I can actualize my own    . That's the most important!" he said.

The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little  47  , he was quite a mix.
At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face  48  up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be  49  to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn’t! It took him a lot of time. But with patience and support. Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his  50  and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he  51  it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his  52  . After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 53 and asked, “May I go down again alone?”
I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children  54  for granted.
This  55  child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.
