She was a straight-A student.Though Dora was talented, she was no good at sports. She could not figure out in which direction to kick the soccer ball. She was no good at baseball or basketball either. It wasn't until last year, when she was eleven years old, that she learned how to ride a bike. And even then she had to use training wheels."I'll never be good at sports," she thought one day as she lay on her bed staring at the shelf her father had made to hold her trophies (奖杯). "How I wish I could win something, anything, even marbles (弹珠)."At the word "marbles," she sat up, "That's it. Maybe I could be good at playing marbles." She jumped out of bed and found a can full of her brother's marbles. "Yes," she thought. "I could play marbles, and marbles is a sport." At that moment she realized that she had only three weeks to practice. The playground championship was coming up. She had a lot to do.To strengthen her wrists (腕关节), she decided to do twenty push-ups on her fingertips, five at a time. By the end of the first set she was breathing hard. She did one more set and decided that was enough push-ups for the first day. She squeezed (握) a rubber eraser one hundred times, hoping it would strengthen her thumb (大拇指). This seemed to work because the next day her thumb was painful. She could hardly hold a marble in her hand, so Dora rested that day and listened to her brother's tips on how to shoot.After school the next day she practiced three hours straight. After practice, she squeezed the eraser for an hour. Practice, practice, practice. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Dora got better and even beat her brother for the first time.注意:1)续写词数应为150左右;2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。Time flew and soon came the big day.Dancing home, she placed the trophy on the middle of the shelf.
答案:Time flew and soon came the big day. Thanks to her two weeks' intensive training as well as brother's timely tips, Dora beat her first opponent with ease. After three rounds, Dora fought her way into the final, where she would compete for the championship with a girl named Vicky, a so-called "marble queen". Clenching the shining marbles she won from the fellow competitors, Dora smiled an invisible smile and murmured "Well begun is half done." Whistle blowing, game began. Vicky seemed dead serious and not even looked at Dora. So it was with Dora. Focused, aimed, shot and won. Though it was a narrow win, Dora did beat the "marble queen" and won her dreaming trophy.Dancing home, Dora carefully placed the trophy in the middle of the shelf. Throwing herself into the bed, Dora couldn't help sobbing softly, mainly of her fulfilled dream, partly of the aching knees and swollen thumb. "Thank you, my dear thumb." Dora kissed her thumb gently, just like an old friend. Lying on bed and staring at the opposite shelf lined with trophies, Dora suddenly had a bold idea. "Why not try the bike race next year? I am not a bookworm; I have sports cells too." Seemingly this 12-year-old girl forgot all the sufferings she had gone through during the past three weeks. But without a big dream one would never fly high.
