Beginning to learn gymnastics even before she could barely walk, Svetlana had always dreamed to enter the Olympics scene some day.
However, her         ended in the car on the winding road when a lorry appeared out of nowhere. The last thing she         was a blinding flash of light. In hospital, when told she would never           again, she couldn’ t believe it. Three months later, she was           out of hospital on a wheelchair. Then a friend came to her house to visit her with an old child’ s storybook. A bookmark in it made her         to page 117. The name of the         was‘The Day Clara Walked’ . She was determined to return to stage whatever it might cost.
         , after a year’ s hard exercise, Svetlana recovered and was able to display her gymnastics. While she was sitting on the green bench           the Athens Stadium, memories         : first, the pain and the tears, the book under her pillow, the words of relatives full of advice and comfort, and the pity in those eyes that had once held         for her talent. Then followed the trips to the gym where everyone looked on         , their disbelief transforming slowly to wonder,          she could balance the hoop（健身圈）as well as her teammates. She registered for 2004 Olympic Games, and finally she received         from the Olympic Committee.
Her         was interrupted by the attendant who said,“It’ s time” , two words that she had been         to hear for so long. Smoothing her dress, she walked into the stadium, each           firm and steady. Everything was         , and the applause rang loud in her ears, her heart         violently against her chest.
Later that night, Svetlana pulled the gold medal out of her pocket and placed it on the old           on the shelf, which opened to page 117, to the chapter‘The Day Clara Walked’ , tears         her vision.
