完形填空
A
mother was criticizing her daughter after watching the girl was not good enough
to compete at a championship level during the daily training in the gymnastics camp.
The
scene reminded me of my1of the day when one of my own gymnastic performances
put me close to tears.

it. By 1972, I was on the National Gymnastics Team for the Olympic Games. I couldn't
think of anything else but 5 a

I said." I know you have done your best, and doing your best is more important
than being the best. I'm 13 you."

words along.
