The Final Sprint
It was the final sprint of the Santa Barbara XV Grand Prix cyclocross race in Spain.Fans lined the road to the finishing line,cheering on the competitors.——故事发生的背景
Ismael Esteban,in third place,was just ahead of his competitor,Agustin Navarro,with only 300 metres to the finishing line.Esteban had been cycling as hard as he could for hours and with the finishing line in sight all the cyclists began to speed up to cross it.Then,suddenly Esteban got a puncture.What should he do? Give up or continue? Esteban threw his bike over his shoulders and raced towards the finishing line.——故事的发展
Just a few seconds later,fourthplaced Navarro caught up with him.Surely,he could simply overtake Esteban and come third.But Navarro slowed down and let Esteban run ahead of him.The two cyclists reached the finishing line with Esteban ahead on foot,Navarro just behind him.Navarro had let Esteban finish in third place,while he came fourth.The audience was amazed at his show of sportsmanship and cheered and clapped for the cyclists.After the race,Navarro said,“I didn't want to win that way.”Later,Esteban,who won the bronze medal,tried to give his medal to Navarro.However,Navarro refused and his response was:“Offering me the prize was worth more than what I did for him.”——故事的高潮
The two cyclists made amazing sporting gestures—Navarro for refusing to take advantage of Esteban's troubles,and Esteban for offering Navarro his medal.This was sportsmanship at its very best.——结局与评论

One possible version:
Last Friday,when I went back home from school,a notice caught my eye.It called on people to take part in the voluntary work the next day.I was so interested in it that I shared it with my family immediately.
After supper,we talked about what we could do for the activity.At last,we agreed on picking up the litter and then we started making litter grabbers.By tying the bamboo pieces together,we made some litter grabbers.Then came the voluntary day! After going downstairs,we were surprised to find that people had already started their job.Some were sweeping the ground while others were cleaning the benches.Without any delay,we joined them.
That evening,I wrote the experience in my diary,as it made me feel the joy of labor.It's worth the active participation.
