Failing Successfully
Two years ago I took part in a speech competition and delivered a memorized speech. It was a hard time for me when the judge ______ the winners. At last, the moment of truth came. I got the worst.
After not being placed in the competition, I really wanted to ______ again. I realized that finding the right topic was the most important part of the whole _____. It needs to be motivational and inspirational to the ______. So I reworked my speech for the following year, ______ a different topic and spending many hours before the computer and in libraries doing research. Then I worked _____ the speech, line by line, word by word, making it ______ better.
The next year I participated in the competition again. I gave my ______ in two parts, one was about my own experience and the other was about the feelings that people usually have when giving a speech—how ______ it is, standing on a stage all alone, with everyone sitting and watching them. My speech ______ down well and I was hoping to do that a little bit better. _____, my wish didn’t come true. The competition was so fierce and again I wasn’t _____.
I was deeply disappointed, since I couldn’t accept the fact that I had ______ twice in something that I had worked so hard on. However, I knew that losing is ______ and part of life. One of the judges said to me that my speech was quite good, ______ it needed to be better if I wanted to go any further. He advised me to struggle to ______ something like some of the empty gestures. He said that I would surely succeed someday.
While I didn’t earn ______ as a result of the competition, I did gain a new viewpoint. I discovered that I could fail successfully. I think I’ll ______ to work hard and enter the next competition. Now, whenever I’m faced with a defeat, I ______ myself of what a famous person said, “The path was worn and slippery.

A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile-zone, when a police car came behind him with the light on. 1.
As the policeman came to him, he said, "Hi, officer, I guess you caught me a little bit over the limit. I was in a rush to get home, to be with my wife and kids, you know my younger son wasn't feeling too well when I left home this morning."
The policeman said, "Well, I guess so,'' and started writing something in his notebook. 2.. A few moments later, the policeman came to his window and handed him a paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man started to wonder, how much this ticket was going to be as he began to look at the paper. 3.
"I had a daughter who was killed by a speeding car at the age of six, by a speeding driver like you. He got a fine, a few months in prison, and was free, free to hug two other daughters. 4.I have tried to forgive that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive him, but I have to do it again, even right now.5."
The man was very surprised and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove slowly, even a few miles under the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
A. So pray for you, and be careful when you drive again, your daughter is all you have left.
B. I only had one and now I have to wait until I get to heaven before I can hug her again.
C. Right away the man started thinking of excuse to give.
D. He was surprised it was not a ticket as he began to read.
E. So pray for me, and be careful when you drive again, my son is all I have left.
F. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was still writing.
G. He was surprised it was not a ticket but a receipt(收据).
