第二节词语填空（共10小题，计10分）

When “A Youthful Asia” came out at the Asian Culture Carnival tears filled my eyes. It’s Zhang Yixing, the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China, and the very one who stopped me from 31 .

Three years ago, my new school life began. As a junior boy from the countryside, I could hardly 32 . I was tried, but still felt like a (n) 33 . Nobody would pick me for teamwork. So I stayed in the corner, hanging my head low as if (好像) I didn’t care. There was a fear in me that all my school life would be 34 .

Then on May 4, I saw “colorless" in Yixing’s book about his life. How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol (青年偶像)? I read the book again, smiling with the fun part of his childhood. "No matter how difficult it is, I will always try my best...” After reading the promise to his mum, I was deeply 35 .

Something wet my eyes when he joked about his training years in Korea. He doubled his practice,

36 himself so hard as to be called “the trainee (练习生) like god”. He said it probably meant “the trainee like mad”.

I might have tried, but not as hard as he did. “Whenever I feel I might be falling, I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment,” says Yixing. For me, this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside. So I told myself I would also make a difference 37 I could hold on for a longer time.

Luckily, every Youth Day after that, Yixing would be there on CCTV, 38 me with his progress. When someone asked him what color his training life was, Yixing smiled, “It’s colorless. Even if I spent a lot of time practicing, I don’t know what color 39 is.”

But effort (努力) 40 . Now he’s standing at the Asian Culture Carnival, and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger.
