I yawned (打哈欠)as I got off the last step of the bus. I had woken early that morning, and had not been
able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never
raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of
my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently.
“Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our
stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin.
The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners
set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my
legs ready to race.“Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺
素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates
greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark.
“6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to bum as I realized I had run a
mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three.
Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped
down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost
reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me.

I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. My world was clouded by total
darkness. How I wish the ground to crack and swallow me! I could feel everybody was staring at me, widening
their mouths and not being able to utter a word. The sudden silence brought sharp pain in my knees and
“failure” was the only word flashing in my mind. Then the silence was broken by a deep voice, “You won’t
give up so easily, will you? ” The boy ahead of me turned back and pulled me up. “Let’s run to the finishing
line together!” The second mile saw its end while we ran shoulder to shoulder.
In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to rum without me. “You can
win a place if you go by yourself.” I looked at him in the eyes with sweat blurring my sight. The boy breathing
heavily, drops of sweat rolled down his face. He shook his head saying,“Winning a place is not that important,
isn’t it? ”. Then we smiled at each other as if we had been the only runners. The last mile seemed shorter and
we were relieved when we passed the finishing line together with thunderous applause. I knew they cheered forus not for winning a race but for something more important.

“Time to get up. It’s your birthday.” Alex opened his eyes and looked up. His parents were standing next to
his bed holding a breakfast muffin. “We can do anything you want today,” said his mom.
He jumped up to get dressed as quickly as he could, already imagining what kind of day he would have at
the beach. He had always dreamed about playing in the sand and jumping in the waves. He nearly tripped (绊
倒) as he ran down the stairs on his way to the kitchen.
Alex’s dad asked him what he wanted to do today. “The beach,” he shouted with joy.
The expression on his mom’s face changed from joy to sadness. She knew the one place that he would not
go was the beach. When her husband had been a young boy of Alex’s age, he had a terrifying experience at the
beach. Alex’s dad shook off his initial (最初的) shock of hearing his son’s plan.
“How about we go to the zoo instead?” he suggested. “The beach is over two hours away.”“But dad, I’ve wanted to go to the beach my WHOLE life,” Alex pleaded.
“Son, I’m sorry, but we are not going to the beach and that’s final.”
They ended up driving to the zoo. It was an exciting day, but Alex could not get the beach out of his mind.
He yearned to build a sandcastle, swim in the ocean and chase the incoming and outgoing waves. The beach
seemed like the best place on earth.
Over the next few weeks, he dreamed about it almost every night. Any free moment he had was spent
filling his room with pictures and drawings of beaches. He repeatedly pleaded with his mom to help him
convince his dad to take them to the beach. Each time she explained that they could do other things as a family,
just not the beach.
One night, Alex received what he thought was good news. His dad was going on a three-day business trip
the next day. “This is an opportunity,” he thought to himself.

The next morning, seeing his dad get into the taxi, Alex ran to his mother. He looked at his mother eagerly
and pleaded: “Mom, I really want to go to the beach. Please, please, please!” After that, he looked at his mother
with anxious and expectant eyes. Alex’s mother didn’t know what to do. She knew that going to the beach was
her son’s dream, but she didn’t want to do it without telling her husband. Alex saw his mother’s hesitation and
then said:“Mom, Dad is not at home, so he doesn’t have to worry about going to the beach with us. ” With
Alex’s persuasion, his mother finally agreed to take him to the beach.
Hours later, as Alex looked out of the front window of the car, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. It
was his father who was waiting them at the destination. When the taxi stopped, he quickly got out of the car and
rushed to his father, asking anxiously, “Dad, why are you here? ” His father smiled and said, “Your mother
called me and told me the news. I think this is not only a good opportunity for you to go to the beach, but also
it’s time for me to overcome the fear, so I postponed my trip and came here directly”. Hearing this, Alex wasobviously relieved and became excited. On that day, Alex did everything he had always wanted to do on the
beach and had a very good time. His father also seemed to have overcome the psychological obstacles. After
returning home, Alex was tired and fell asleep directly on the bed, but He has a faint smile on his lips.
