With a determined(坚定的) look on his face, Chicago’s Michael McCarthy held on to the banister(扶手) and climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago. The Tower stands 1,451 feet tall, the       building in the US.
As he got to the last step, McCarthy       fell down, but that didn’t stop him. The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he       cheers from many people.
“I just want to show people that       a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢) and use a stick to walk. But McCarthy has a strong      . He believes having a disability shouldn’t stop anyone      achieving his or her success.
He has been in a special school      he was four. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his teacher, Jeff Kohn, was moved by his determination(决心) and offered       train him. They      more than ten hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prosthetics and sticks on the steps every day. “     seems that he never knows how difficult it is.      I was so tired that I asked him to rest for a day,” said Kohn. “But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more      .”
Kohn always walked with McCarthy for the climb. “I  found when climbing the last 10 floors, he went faster,” said Kohn. “He’s the       sportsman I’ve ever trained.”
McCarthy said he was       of himself and that the tower now holds special meaning. “When I’m older, I’ll  point(指着) to the building and       ‘Look at this building I climbed’,”

The most positive(乐观的) person I have ever seen is may dad! He is so positive that I do not  46   hearing a single word from him which is related(相关的) to hopelessness!
Unlike most mums and dads, my dad never says things that make me feel   47  . He is always there to give me encouragement and help.   48   I do wrong things, he always tells me what’s right in a positive way. For example, if I am in   49  , he often tells me to open the books he bought me. Then he asks me to read the   50   that can help me with the problems I’m facing. After that, we have a    51   together.
Even though I’m not always a good kid, my dad   52   shouts or gets angry with me. I know that he’s   53  a day—a day when I grow up and understand things in my life.
I can see the reason that he is so positive is because he believes in 54 . And he believes that whatever  55  , it is under control. So we have nothing to worry about. Be positive!
