I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game was finished a few hours ago．I'm the mid-field player on my team．But in fact that's not true now．I was the mid-field player because，as I said，this was my   1   game．That's a good way to end a high school football career（生涯），especially if you win，but even though you don't，it's good to leave at a high point．

I was eight when I first started playing football．My dad   2    football and he used to practice with me at home-passing，catching，running．We used to practice almost every evening  __3   it got too dark．He tried to teach me everything he knew about the   4   ．“Just remember：don’t ever    5   ．” “Stay in the game．Don’t lose your concentration（专注）．”  “Go out there and give one percent（百分之一）every time．” Well，that was a long time ago，but I still hear his words ringing in my ears．

I had a lot on my mind 6  the game today．I don't like things to end，I guess，and this was the last game．I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do，I didn't sleep at all   7    and when the sun came up this morning，I reached the point where I just wanted it all to be over, finished，done．But then when the game started，my mind became   8  ．I just lived in this game，this moment．I didn't hear the crowd．I didn't feel the cold or the pain．I never felt tired．I just kept my eyes on the hall，and it was just me and the ball and，inside，a soft，white light    9    me the way to the goal．It was a beautiful，empty feeling．
