問題詳情：

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to   36   water to the runners. I remember being so   37   to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I   38   up for the race.

    That first 10,000m race was quite an  39 . I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked.   40  , I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining (決定*)   41   .

But then I   44   something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had   45  abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my   46  was only to finish.

In life we all have those moments where we   52   ourselves to others. It’s only   53  . Don’t allow those moments to   54   you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to   55    anything you want in life.
