二、完型填空

I never truly understood the meaning of “peer pressure” until I joined the cross-country team in my freshman year. The training was ____16____ than I had imagined. Every morning, we were expected to ____17____ for training before the sun was up. Seeing all the other runners, so fast and skilled, made me feel embarrassed and ____18____. I started to doubt my own ability to ____19____.

One rainy morning, I was particularly ____20____. My legs felt heavy, and I was falling far behind the rest. The thought of just stopping and going home felt like a better ____21____. Just then, our coach, Mr. Evans, jogged up beside me. “Stop looking at them,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “You’re not running their race. You need to find your own ____22____.”

His words were simple, but they struck me. I had been so focused on ____23____ myself to others that I had forgotten why I started running in the first place.

I stopped focusing on the runners ahead of me and started celebrating my own ____26____, however small.

Now, whenever I see a teammate struggling with ____31____, I share Mr. Evans’s advice. But true success comes from following your own path. This experience taught me an important life lesson: your journey is ____32____. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions ____33____ your own inner voice. Life isn’t about ____34____

against everyone else; it’s about winning against who you were yesterday — finding joy in small steps forward, and pride in how far you’ve come. And that is a journey everyone can ____35____.
