问题    Everyone wants to win a first-place blue ribbon, to be the best in something. Even kids in kindergarten want that blue ribbon. In sports, I was never a blue-ribbon person. In a race, I was always【C1】______In baseball I was likely to be hit on the head or drop the ball. During the spring of my kindergarten year, our class had a field trip to a park in a town about twenty miles away. Making that drive now is no big【C2】______but when you’ re six and you’ ve lived in a town of 300 people all your life, going to a big town of a couple of thousand people is really something.
   I don’ t remember too much about it. But there was one that I will never forget—the three-legged race. The parents tied our feet together. One little boy got me for a【C3】______He was the second most【C4】______boy in our class so he usually won at everything and I knew that with me tied to him he didn’ t have a chance. And I’ m sure he knew he was in trouble. The gun sounded and we were off. Some couples were falling and stumbling all around us,【C5】______we stayed on our feet and made it to the other side.【C6】______, when we turned around and headed back for home, we were in the lead! Only one couple had a chance to win, and they were a good several yards behind us.
   A few feet from the finish line, disaster struck: I tripped and fell. We were【C7】______enough that my partner could have easily dragged me across the finish line and won. But he didn’ t. Instead he stopped,【C8】______down and helped me up—just at the other couple crossed the finish line. As a result, we received a small red ribbon for coming in second.    I still remember that moment when the young boy decided that helping a friend get on her feet was more important than winning a blue ribbon. And 13 years later, I still have that little ribbon because it’ s a【C9】______that a friend like this boy is one who really【C10】______ [br] 【C3】
