"Ready... set..." The gun popped and off we were. The other girls ran ahead of me. I found myself limping(跛) and felt ashamed as I 38 farther and farther behind.
The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" the 39 shouted with the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meeting.
"Maybe I should quit," I 40 as I limped on. "Those people wouldn't like to wait for me to finish this race." Somehow, 41 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran 42 and decided not to compete in track next year. I couldn't beat the girl who lapped me twice, even if my foot did 43 .
When I finished, I heard a cheer-just as 44 as the one the first-place girl received "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. "They 45 be cheering for the boys."

I couldn't believe it. A(n) 50 stranger had cheered for me-not for my victory, but for my perseverance. Suddenly I 51 hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my 52 .
That day I learned two things. First, a 53 kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them. Second, strength and courage aren't measured in the 54 and victories. They are measured in the struggles we 55 .

In its latest move to fight online piracy (盗版), the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) has shut down hundreds of BT file-sharing websites, 36 the popular BTChina.net. The name BT is short for BitTorrent, one of the most common 37 methods used in 38 . As a result of 39 , the more people who download the same thing, the 40 the downloads get. BT sharing has been the means of choice for users to trade software , music, movies, and digital books, TV dramas and pirated DVDS and CDs. These BT sites were shut down either for operating without a 41 , or for copyright problems.
The closure of BT sites has 42 millions of young Chinese netizens.

Netizens are beginning to search for new download 47 . “The problem is, if you shut down the top 48 BitTorrent sites, then people are simply going to go to number three, number four or number five on the list,” Hurvitz said.

If you don’t pay for 51 , investors lose money. Then no one will make movies in the future, experts say.
In the future, some 52 say, the concept of “downloading” will disappear. The Internet’s future is completely “online”, a founder of one software downloading website told Information Times. Eventually, you may not have to bother downloading content to your computer, but just 53 it online, the founder said. But the concept of “copyright” will still be there, inspiring talented people to create 54 things, in which they take pride, and from which they make 55 .

It often appears that we have more to gain by speaking than by listening. One big advantage of speaking is that it gives you a chance to control others’ thoughts and actions. Whatever your goal is — to have a boss hire you, to 36 others to vote for the person of your 37 or to describe the 38 you want your hair cut ... the key to success seems to be the 39 to speak well.
Another 40 advantage of speaking is the chance it provides to 41 the admiration, respect, or liking of others. Tell jokes, and everyone will think you’re really a 42 man. Tell them all you know, and they’ll be 43 by your wisdom. But keep quiet, and it seems as if you are a 44 person.
Finally, talking gives you the 45 to release (释放) energy in a way that listening can’t. When you’re 46 , the chance to talk about your problems can often help you feel better. In the same way, you can often 47 your anger by letting it out orally. It is also helpful to 48 your excitement with others by talking about it, 49 keeping it inside often leaves you feeling as if you might burst.
While it is true that talking does have many advantages, it’s important to 50 that listening can do good to listeners, too. As you’ll soon read, being a good listener is one good way to 51 others with their problems; and what better way is there to have others 52 you? As for controlling others, it may be true that it’s hard to be persuasive while you’re listening, but your 53 to hear others out will often make them open to your ideas 54 . Listening is often reciprocal (互惠的). “You get what you 55 .”

37. A. friend B. relation C. choice D. leader
38. A. idea B. way C. means D. plan
39. A. resource B. energy C. power D. ability
