完形填空
Our
13-year-old son won a local "Hoop (篮球) Shooting"
competition and entered the regional competition. So on Saturday morning we 1 our bags and headed down to Green Bay,
Wisconsin to 2 many other basketball shooters for an 3 to move forward to the state championships.
In
the competition, my son 4 waited his turn. Nearly an hour later, he went
to the hoops. His first basket was a 5 . We
could see the frustration (沮丧) in his
eyes. He tried 6 to shoot another hoop. Then another failure --
he shook his head in 7 .
But he continued. Finally, he 8 to shoot a few balls and scored 20 points. My
son 9 from his hoop, frustrated and disappointed, being
10 that he didn't make it
because there were several guys getting over 40 points, already 11 his.
If
it had been up to our 12 son to decide, he would have left before
watching the game and 13 himself in our hotel. Instead, we took this
chance to help him 14 this life disappointment: giving him time for
frustration and then sharing our opinion on this 15.
We told him: It's because of his earlier 16 that we were able to watch this game; it's 17 to fail. We all fail at some point in our
lives. We were proud of him though he didn't 18 the prize.
In
the end, we 19, watched the game, and had a great
time! When you are 20 by life, don't let it keep you down. As the
old saying goes, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!"
