五、完形填空
One sunny afternoon, my life changed because of a flat(瘪的)wheel.
It was the day of the big 1 game. I rode fast to school, imagining myself scoring a lot and winning the match. 2 —BANG! My bike hit a rock, and the front wheel went flat. “No! I’ll 3 the game!” I shouted, kicking the useless bike.
When I finally arrived all sweaty and 4 because the game had already started, the coach shook his head. “You’re out of the starting team,” he said. My spirits fell. Sitting on the bench, I watched my team lose 5 me. “This is the worst day ever,” I thought.
The next day, my leg hurt badly from the fall. Mum took me to the 6. While waiting, I noticed an old man 7 in the hallway. His colourful drawings of birds attracted me. “Want to try?” he smiled, handing me a pencil. 8, I drew a bird that looked almost real! “You’ve got gift, smart boy,” he said. It turned out that he was Mr Wu, a(n) 9 teacher.
With my leg hurt, I couldn’t play sport for a month. But instead of feeling 10, I joined Mr Wu’s free art class after school. We painted sunsets, trees, and 11 my broken bike! Slowly, I discovered a world beyond basketball.
Weeks later, our school held an art competition and I entered it. To 12 surprise—especially mine—I won first prize! 13 even the local newspaper interviewed me.
When I was presented the prize, I saw my basketball coach clapping loudly. Later, he said, “Maybe that 14 wheel wasn’t so bad after all.”
The flat wheel reminds me that bad luck can open new doors. Like the ancient story says, “What seems like a loss might be a good thing in 15.” Life’s surprises aren’t always bad—we just need eyes to see the hidden rainbows.
