that man?

When I was 13, my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant beating out Miller King, who was the best 1 at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for 2. Just before September, Miller was hit by a car and lost his right 3. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very 4, but he didn't cry. That season, I 5 all of Miller's records but he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 6 I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for (为......负责) Miller's accident.

One afternoon, I was crossing the field and saw Miller stuck (卡在) going over a fence—which wasn't 7 to climb with both arms. I'm sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to 8 help from. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly overthe fence. When we were finally 9 on the other side, he said to me, "You know, I didn't tell you this during the season, but you did fine. Thank you for filling in for me. "

His words 10 me from my bad dreams. I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was still ahead of me. I was right to have admired him. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.

The snow went on falling, and they could see only a few meters in front of them．

"We should go back," said Judy. She was afraid.

"But where is the path?"

Everything was covered with snow．The sky was grey. "What's the time?" asked Paul．Judy looked at her watch. "Nearly 5 o'clock．It gets dark in an hour. "

"We must start walking, and hope we find the path．I think the snow's stopping. "said Paul. But it wasn't stopping. The wind was strong. It blew around them, cold and wet．

"Just keep going downhill." said Judy. "We can't go wrong."

Then Paul fell on some rocks．He shouted. "Judy! I've hurt my leg!" He couldn't stand up．His leg hurt too much．

"I'll have to phone for help." said Judy. "I hope the mobile phone works up here!"

Luckily it did. They phoned the mountain service. "Don't move! shouted the man on the phone. Stay where you are, we're sending a team there."

They were not far from the path, so the team found them easily. They were lucky! People often get into trouble when they climb the mountains. You must always tell someone where you are going and take a mobile phone with you. Mountain is a dangerous place to be if things go wrong!
