Michael Stone always dreamed of flying. His mother read him so many stories about flying that they 1 his dreams with colour and beauty. His dad, on the other hand, believed in hard work. He always said, "Dreams depend on hard work!"

From the age of 14, Michael started training as a pole vaulter. He 2 every day with weightlifting and running, and he continued to help his parents with their farm work. His mother wished he could relax a bit more, but his father would smile and say, "If you want 3, work for it!"
Now Michael was standing in the stadium 4 one of the final two competitors in the pole - vaulting event in the National Junior Olympics. After a warm - up, he picked up his pole, and stepped on the runway that led to the most challenging event of his 17 - year - old life. Suddenly he became 5. He had never experienced this before.
Then he thought of his mother's words. "Take deep breaths when you feel nervous." So he did. Slowly the nervousness was gone. He gently put down his pole, and began to stretch out his arms and upper body. And then, he 6 picked up his pole again. He knew it was his time to fly.
As he began sprinting (冲刺) down the runway, something felt wonderfully 7 but familiar. When he took a deep breath, it happened. He began to fly just like in his childhood 8. Only this time he knew he wasn't dreaming.
The loud cheers from the audience brought Michael back. He could 9 the smile on his parents' faces. His life would never be the same. It wasn't because he won the National Junior Olympics and 10 a new world record. And it wasn't because he had just reached his personal best. It was simply because Michael Stone was blind.

### 一、完形填空
迈克尔·斯通一直梦想着飞翔。他的母亲给他读了很多关于飞翔的故事，这些故事让他的梦想充满了色彩与美好。另一方面，他的父亲坚信努力工作的力量。他总是说：“梦想取决于努力工作！”
从14岁起，迈克尔就开始接受撑杆跳运动员的训练。他每天都通过举重和跑步来锻炼，同时还继续帮助父母做农活。他的母亲希望他能多放松一点，但他的父亲会微笑着说：“如果你想要某样东西，就要为之努力！”
现在，迈克尔正站在体育场里，作为全国少年奥林匹克运动会撑杆跳项目最后两名选手之一。热身之后，他拿起撑杆，踏上了那条通向他17岁人生中最具挑战性赛事的跑道。突然，他变得紧张起来。他以前从未有过这种感觉。
然后他想起了母亲的话：“当你感到紧张时，深呼吸。”于是他照做了。慢慢地，紧张感消失了。他轻轻地放下撑杆，开始伸展手臂和上半身。然后，他又小心翼翼地拿起了撑杆。他知道，是时候飞翔了。
当他开始沿着跑道冲刺时，一种感觉奇妙地不同却又熟悉。当他深吸一口气时，奇迹发生了。他开始飞翔，就像在童年的梦想里一样。只是这一次，他知道自己不是在做梦。
观众的欢呼声把迈克尔拉回了现实。他能想象到父母脸上的笑容。他的生活将永远改变。这不是因为他赢得了全国少年奥林匹克运动会并创造了一项新的世界纪录，也不是因为他刚刚达到了个人最佳成绩。仅仅是因为迈克尔·斯通是盲人。
