One of them told me with a smile, “Go your own 46 , let others talk.” This girl would always play basketball with me. Even the boy who sat next to me in class talked about 47 with me almost every day.
I was inspired by them. Confidence and passion 48 to my heart. I am ready to stand up and play. I will play as well as I can, 49 for me, even the sky is boundless (无垠的).
Basketball has become an important part of my 50 . I am interested in it. I watch matches and enjoy playing almost every day. Through basketball, not only do I feel happy and confident, but also 51 a lot.
I've heard the NBA star Tracy McGrady say, “Nothing is impossible.” It is from an advertisement on TV. I have 52 to realize that life is just like playing basketball. You should have an 53 . After that, just be confident and 54 going. Never give up and you'll make it sooner or later.
I love the motto of the NBA. It can 55 my strong feelings for basketball, “I love this game!”

I was nine years old when she enterd our home in rural Virginia. My father1_me to her with these words:"I would like you to meet the fellow who is2for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no3than tomorrow morning."
My stepmother walked over to me,4my head slightly upward,and looked me right in the eye.Then she looked at my father and replied,"You are5.This is not the worst boy at all,6the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm."
That statement began a(n)7between us.No one had ever called me smart,My family and neighbors had built me up in my8as a bad boy . My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things.She9my father to go to a dental school,from which he graduated with honors.She moved our family into the county srat,where my father's career could be more10and my brother and I could be better11.
When I turned fourteen,she bought me a secondhand12and told me that she believed that I could become a writer.I knew her ernthusiasm,I13it had alreadly improved our lives.I accepted her14and began to write for local newspapers.I was doing the same kind of15that great day
I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later.I wasn't the16beneficiary (受益者).My father became the17man in town.My brother and stepbrthers became a physician,a dentist,a lawyer,and a college president.
What power18has!When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is19strengthened by faith,it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never20.
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.
