Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens ,believe in yourself.”

When I was a young boy , I was 　17 shy to talk to anyone. My classmates often 　18 me.I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 　19 happened,and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to 　20 it .What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.

“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 　21 the contest.” Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself.” I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 22 .With my mother’s great love, I did 　23 in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place, I heard the cheers 　24 the teachers and the students. Those classmates 　25 once looked down on（看不起）me ,now all said “Congratulations!” to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell 　26 to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.

　Moreno, Stanley, and 23 other students from Westfield State College were on vacation in Acapulco, Mexico. This was the last night in the hotel. It was 4 am, Moreno and Stanley came back from a party.

　　Just as Stanley went to sleep, he heard loud noise outside. From the balcony (阳台) of their fourth-floor room, Moreno and Stanley saw black smoke out of one window and heard people shouting.

　　Moreno ran out into the corridor and began knocking on doors and shouting, "Fire!" After that, he went upstairs in a hurry to tell other people. At the same time, Stanley was downstairs helping people get through the smoke-filled room. There he joined forces with Nalewanski, a 21-year-old boy who had a room on the second floor.

　　"Let's go," Nalewanski said. He and Stanley wet their shirts in the bathroom and put them around their mouths and noses so they could breathe. Then they ran up the stairs. On the fourth floor they found Moreno feeling terrible (Moreno had made it up to the eighth floor before turning back). But after making sure he could get back down on his own, they continued upstairs, knocking on the doors on every floor.

　　In the end, no one was seriously hurt. Moreno said, "There were hundreds of people in the hotel. It was our duty to help them."
