四、完形填空。〔人与自我——做人与做事〕
Back about 20 months ago I started college and just struggled(斗争) with everything, classes, friends and so on. I quickly became depressed(沮丧的), 1 at myself for not being able to do better in school.
This went on for months, until my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a 2. It was a big delicious cake, 3 no one would share it with me. I ended up(最后) 4 out the cake after having one piece, with about 90% of it wasted. That night I was so depressed that I decided to go outside and 5. Putting my earphones in, I went outside and ran about 2 miles.
When I got back inside, I was 6 and I was proud of what I was able to do. The next 7 I did the same. The running continued for about 2 months until I 8 worked up the courage to go to the 9, where I started swimming again, as I used to in high school. A month went by and I started lifting weights and 10 running.
Looking back, I can see that 11 helped me out of my depression. But 12 didn't only do that. At the gym, I met new 13. Back at my school, I grew 14 to communicate with my schoolmates.
So for now, I exercise every day and 15 that time I get daily to do what I love. I hope my story helps someone who may be or has been in a similar situation.
