He said he didn't want to his teachers and parents.

    A little girl was born in a very poor family. Her name was Wilma Rudolph. When she was four years old, she had pneumonia(肺炎) and it left her with a paralyzed(瘫痪的) left leg. She had to wear an iron leg brace(支架). Her mother told her that she could do whatever she wanted to do.

    So at the age of nine, the little girl took off the leg brace, and she tried her best to walk. In four years, she could walk for some steps, which was a medical wonder. Then this girl had a dream that she would like to be the world's greatest woman runner.

    At the age of 13, she entered every race in high school, and in every race she came in last. Everyone asked her to stop! And then there came a day when she won a race. From then on, she won every race that she entered.

    She went to university, where she met a coach. The coach trained her so well that she went to the Olympic Games. She went to her first Olympic Games when she was sixteen years old. There she was racing against the greatest woman runner of the day, a German girl named Jutta Heine. Nobody had ever beaten Jutta. But in the 100-meter race, she won. She beat Jutta again in the 200-meter race. She had two Olympic gold medals.

    Finally came the 400-meter relay(接力赛). It would be Wilma against Jutta once again. When the third runner handed the baton(接力棒) to Wilma, she was so excited that she dropped it. It was impossible that anybody could catch Jutta. But Wilma did just that! Wilma had earned three Olympic gold medals.

    They called her “the Black Pearl”. Wilma Rudolph received a lot of attention from the public, but she did not forget her teammates. She said that her favorite event was the relay, because she could share the victory with her teammates.

    Have you found this? Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Is this a coincidence（巧合）, or is there some science behind this? Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?

    According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.

In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.

    The best temperature for humans is about 22.2℃. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods.

    Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesn't love that?

    Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If it's rainy, that won't necessarily make us unhappy. We'll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!

So how do you know you're a loser?"

    Yes, maybe she's right. I took a deep （呼吸） and stepped onto the stage to begin my speech. Everything seemed to go （顺利地） while suddenly I stopped. My mind went completely black. I just stand there （没有） saying a word.

    "What should I do?" I asked myself. "Run away or continue?" Just then, the girl's words came back to me. "Be yourself." Yes, she is right. Her words gave me （勇气）. I can't give up. I won't let her（失望）.

    Then I went on with the （剩余） of my speech with a cheerful voice. Little by little, the audience seemed to be interested in my story. My speech turned into an easy chat. I had found myself again.
