                When I came out of my office, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I took a taxi. The car was flying along the road, but later it was in a traffic jam in darkness. I b_____1_____the silence for fear that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evenings?”
                “Nine o’clock. I’ll go home after this t_____2_____.”
                “Then when do you come out in the mornings?” I threw out another question.
                “Nine o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His words s_____3_____me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from the driver is only complaints. They complain that they have to work from morning till night, that it is hard to earn money, that they are bullied by the police, or that the leaders enjoy the fruits of their work. It s_____4_____they are not satisfied with everything. But this driver told me, “I find it tiring to be a section chief as I was before. I don’t like management work. I like driving, just out of pleasure. It’s lucky that I s_____5_____drive without a passenger. So I can earn three or four thousand yuan a month easily. Any trick? Yes, I never follow an e_____6_____taxi. If it goes southward, I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a narrow street. In this way I always get customers.”
                His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he took in his job. Such feelings are so rare among people nowadays just as oxygen in high mountains. How many people nowadays can show high ideals by s_____7_____living and go with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling moved when I found such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold winter night.

                 Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “ I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be k_____1_____. ” At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream. The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the s_____2_____ antelope, or I will die of hunger.” So, almost at the same time, the antelope and the lion get up and start running toward the rising sun.
                This is life: full of chances and challenge. Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go a_____3_____ when the sun rises. For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall b_____4_____ the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always w_____5_____ and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.
                Each time I saw children playing games and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents’ words: “You must work very hard in order to have a good f_____6_____.” So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.
                I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. I s_____7_____ knew what competition was. It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary. I learned a lot from realizing this fact. Now I understand more about the world. Competition is important for us all.
