Question

I had been playing hockey（冰球）for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench and   36   got into a game. I went to all the   37   and showed up even when it was so   38   that your ‘breath froze’ and when the otherplayers had decided to stay home. I felt I had   39   enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to   40   the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on   41   my words she said “Remember ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise   42     so think about yourself in a   43   way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape   44   my shot（投球） accuracy and changing my   45   . 
Once in a match we    46   our first game badly. What’s worse one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my   47   place  at the end of the bench  when the coach came over and told me I was going   48   . I was nervous excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little   49   .  But my mom’s words   50   out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my   51   work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice and I seemed to get the    52   to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had   53   me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s   54    has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge or whenever I   55   myself.
