Question

  One day I was telling my boy Tommy the story of the hare (野兔) and the tortoise (乌龟) . At the e 1        I said "Son remember：Being slow and steady (稳健的) wins the race. Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise?"

  He opened his eyes w 2       "Do you mean next time when I'm e 3       the 60-meter race I should wish Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?"

  I was s 4      " But the tortoise didn't wish the hare would fall asleep."

  "He must have wished that " Tommy said. "Otherwise how could he be so s 5       as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself d 6      ."

 "He didn't have such a wish " I insisted. " He won the race by perseverance (毅力) ，by pushing on steadily."

  Tommy thought for a w 7       "That's a l 8       ，" he said. "He won the race because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't h 9       to fall asleep the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like or a hundred times steadier but he'd never have won the race!That's for s 10       ”
