It was a cool spring evening in Melbourne, Australia．I drove to my boxing gym for a Friday night training session．After        up, I started training．Then I noticed a tall and slim young man walking through the doors．There was something about him that caught my           .
Before long, I realized that he might have a mental illness．Having volunteered for mental illness support groups, I really           his problems when I looked at him.
He paid for the session, put on a pair of gloves and then started hitting the punching bags．I watched him from a           and wanted to help him to punch straighter and better．Then I felt it was best to leave that up to the trainer who was         watching him.
After a few seconds of punching the bag, he stopped and started staring at the         ．The trainer went up to him and        to help him．It was almost like he woke up from a dream．He       eye contact with the ceiling at once.
Then the bell rang and it was the end of the round．    rounds we are required to do five push-ups(俯卧撑),     all the boys that were training that night did five push-ups．He        to complete his five push-ups．The bell sounded again and the next round began．He punched the bags for a few seconds and then he       ．This time he was staring at the walls which were decorated with boxing posters.
It was clear to me that he could not         for long.
When I finished training, I decided to go up to him and offer him my help．I held the bag for him and asked him to punch．He        the bag a few times and then stopped again.
I smiled at him and asked, “Do you like boxing?”
He replied with a very shy         on his face, “Yes, boxing is alright.”
What else could I do than         this man and his willingness to give it a go? Most people put self-imposed(自我强加的)      on their lives and stop themselves from having a go．I kept thinking about this man while admiring him for even turning up to a boxing gym, let alone training at what appeared to be his        .
There are many lessons to learn from this man．What I         admired about this man was that he had a go! That is what         ordinariness from greatness.

Now the person must look for   9   that will make the problem clearer and lead to 10 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bicycle does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes.   11 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After   12   the problem, the person should have 13   suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example   14 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change old ones.
In the end, one 15   seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the   16 idea comes quite   17   because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a different way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum (口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18   hits on the solution to his problem: he must   19   the brake.
Finally the solution is   20 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

During the summer, in the moths of March and April ,the skies   3   cities ,towns and villages throughout the Kingdom are   4      with kites of all descriptions --long-tailed dragons,twisting snakes ,beautiful butter-flies,or familiar cartoon characters wheeling and weaving in the waim air.
One afternoon ,a friend and long-time kite flier invited me to   5     him at the Pramane Ground ."What's the attraction?"I asked as he flew a huge kite."Well ,you can feel a bit of a   6    at first ."he replied,""a grown man standing there holding the end of a string and    7    up into the sky .But once you forget yourself ,you get caught up in the   8   of controlling something inthe air where you cannot follow.You're on the ground :the kite's in the air but it's you that are making it al    9    .Come on ,go fly a kite."
I took his advice in the   10   it was meant and ,holding the hand of my young daughter si that others woukd think I was only satisfying a child's   11    ,I bought a rainbow-colored snake .After a few failed runs we got the kite into the air   12    greater ease than I expected.It was only at my daughter 's crying ,"My go,my go "that I realized I'd been holding the string ,completely   13   what I was discovering was a very pleasing pastime.
Like many other    14    of popular culture ,the sport of kite flying in Thailand has been   15   down from generation to generation.Its origins(起源)are    16    probably in ancient China,although it seems likey that Thai kites are as old as the    17   itself.It was a craze    18    by everyone from the king down.
"It's a great tradition (传统),that has the    19    of bringing generations togeter,"says my friend ,"What you see today at the King's Cup is the   20    as the people of the past would have seen more than two hundred years ago."
