As the boy __18__ at the volcano, he made a decision to get to the top of it. He imagined what it would be __19__ to run all the way to the top. This was his chance to become a real runner, like he always __20__ he would be.

__22__, the peak (顶峰) of the volcano was within the boy's sight. His heart was filled with __23__! He ran faster and pushed farther, but every time he thought he was getting __24__, it was another climb away, another corner, another impossibly steep slope (陡坡).

As he stood above the cities, above the deserts in the clouds, he felt a sense of __28__ for believing in himself and accomplishing what no one else thought he could.
