My son Joey was born with club feet (畸形腿). The doctors told us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally—but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in operations. By the time he was eight, people wouldn’t know he had a problem when they saw him walk.
The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.
In seventh grade he decided to try out for the cross-country running team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others—perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the chance to score points for the school. We didn’t tell him that he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.
score points 得分;获得分数
make the team 加入球队
try out for 参加...选拔
He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day—even the day he had a fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. When I found him running on the track with a flushed face, I knew I had to tell him the truth. I called him over and sat him down on a bench. With a heavy heart, I told him about his condition and that it might be too much for him to keep training and participate in the competition.
After a long silence, he looked up at me. There was a firm look in his eyes. He showed that he knew it was hard, but he really wanted to keep going. The competition meant the world to him as he had been training so hard for it. He wouldn’t give up easily just because of this setback. His determination surprised me. I could see the strong will in him that refused to be defeated by difficulties.
That day, as Joey stood at the starting line, he looked more determined than ever.
flushed face面色潮红
firm adj. 坚定的,坚决的

【参考范文】
That day, as Joey stood at the starting line, he looked more determined than ever.那天,当乔伊站在起跑线上时,他看起来比以往任何时候都更加坚定。The moment the whistle blew, he rushed out with all his might, running with incredible passion and determination in spite of his physical condition.哨声一响,他就全力以赴冲了出去,尽管身体状况不佳,但他依然带着难以置信的激情和决心奔跑着。As the audience and his mother cheered loudly for him, he chose to ignore the pain in his body and the fear of possible failure, focusing all his attention on heading straight for the finishing line.当观众和他的母亲为他大声欢呼时,他选择了忽略身体的疼痛和对可能失败的恐惧,把所有注意力都集中在直奔终点线上。After a great deal of effort, he finally succeeded in crossing it with a bright smile, proving himself and showing clearly that nothing could keep him from pursuing his dreams.经过巨大的努力,他终于带着灿烂的笑容成功冲过终点线,证明了自己,也清楚地表明没有什么能阻止他追求梦想。
