My son Joey was born with club feet(天生特厚的畸形脚). The doctors promised us that with treatment he would be able to walk       , but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were        in surgery(手术). By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a      when you saw him walk.
The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during       , and Joey would jump right in, run and play, too. We      told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to       as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.
In seventh grade he      to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he      with the team. He worked harder and ran      than any of the others—perhaps he sensed that the       that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him.      the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the chance to      points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.
He      to run four to five miles a day, every day —even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was      , so I went to look for him after school. I found him      all alone. I asked him how he felt. “Okay,” he said. He had two more      to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy（目光呆滞的） from his fever.      he looked straight ahead and kept running.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were      . Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in      grade —the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn’t       to make the team. We never told him he couldn’t do it… so he didn’t know. He just did it.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   36 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   37   that I decided to write an article about her.
I   38   Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She   39   and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I   40   I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there   41 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that   42   Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The   43   was almost unbearable. I struggled for days   44   draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript   45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I   46   in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t   47   the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While   48   my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in   49 :
Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   50   materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   51   your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to   52 . Fear of rejection cost mely. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   53   writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this   54 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t   55   to doubt yourself.

My Teacher in the School of Life

After several years, I was 44 department chair, and our relationship changed   45 . I thought that it might be 46 chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr Offutt   47 me throughout. He knew when to give me   48   about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me design my own course.
In 1997, I needed his advice about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have.   49   , he encouraged me to seize the new     50 .
Five years ago, I became the   51   of DeMatha. Once again, Dr Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could   52 on him as I tried to fill such big shoes. I’ve learned from him that great teachers have a (n)   53   wealth of lessons to teach.   54 his students don’t know it yet, I know how   55   they are; I’m still one of them.

My father believed that there was mysterious forces at work in the world. One day, when he was lecturing me on these tales, a neighbour woman suddenly entered, with two geese in hands. She smiled   21   and looked frightened.
