8.?江蘇省鎮(zhèn)江市2009屆高三第三次調(diào)研測試 ?完形填空

Once I spoke at a high school．After the speech，the principal asked me to see a special student．An illness had kept the boy home，but he had expressed an _36_ ?in meeting me，and it would mean a great deal to him．I _37_．

He was Matthew．When he was born，the doctor told his parents that he would not live to?see five，then they were told he would not _38_ it to ten．Now he was thirteen．He wanted tomeet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter, and I _39_ about overcoming obstacles(障礙)and _40_ for my dreams．

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew．Never did he ?_41_．He spoke about winning andsucceeding and seeking his dreams．_42_ ，he knew what he was talking about．He just talked about his _43_ for the future，and how one day he wanted to _44_ weight with me．

When we finished talking，I went to my briefcase and _45_ out the first gold medal I won and put it around his _46_．I told him he was more of a _47_ and knew more about success and overcoming _48_ than I ever would．He looked at it for a while．then took it off _49_ handed it back to me．He said，“You are a _50_ ．You earned that medal. _51_ when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal，I will show it to you．”

Last summer I got the news that Matthew had passed _52_ and a letter Matthew had written me a few days before：

Dear Rick，

My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me．The doctors are _53_ to tell me that I don't have long to live any more．But I still _54_ as much as I can．

I told you that in the future I Was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal．But I know now I'll _55_．But I know I'm a champion，and god knows that too．When I get to Heaven，

God will give me my medal and when you get there，I will show it to you．

Thank you for loving me．
