James really wanted a bike. As his parents were,sadly,too 1 to buy him one,he went to the nearby junkyard(废品场) and put together a bike from the different parts of junked bikes.
One day,he heard about a 2. He decided to enter,because the winner would get a new 3. He practised hard,learning all types of skills like making sharp turns,riding with no hands,and even riding on one wheel. The day of the race finally came. At the starting line,James looked 4 at the other riders. All of their bikes were 5 and shiny. He looked down at his own old bike and felt his face grow hot. He knew that it was hard for him to win, 6 he felt he must have a try. As the racers lined up,the judge(裁判) began speaking loudly. “There will be 7 stages of the race,” he said,“the track,the off-road,and the obstacle(障碍) course. ”
Because of all his 8 ,the track and off-road were no problem for James,and he easily left all the other riders behind. 9 ,he heard a terrible sound. He looked down and found there was something wrong with his front tyre! “Oh no!” thought James. Thinking of the one-wheel training he did back home,he cheered himself up,“I can't 10 now!” With a smile,he rushed towards the first obstacle:the ramp. Because it wasn't too steep(陡峭的),going up the ramp was 11. However,he had difficulty riding through the other obstacles. He could even hear the other riders 12 catching up with him.
The final obstacle was a 13 bridge across a river. James shook dangerously and nearly 14 ,but he made it and crossed the finishing line!
As the judge shook his 15 and gave him the prize—a new bike,James smiled from ear to ear.
