※ 다음 글을 읽고 물음에 답하시오.[문17∼문18]
The dictionary defines winning as “achieving victory over others in a competition, receiving a prize or reward for achievement.” However, some of the most meaningful wins of my life were not victories over others, nor were there prizes involved. To me, winning means overcoming obstacles.
My first experience of winning occurred in elementary school gym. Nearly every day, after the warm up of push-ups and squat thrusts, we were forced to run relays. Although I suffered from asthma as a child, my team won many races. My chest would burn terribly for several minutes following theses races, but it was worth it to feel so proud, not because I’d beaten others, but because I had overcome a handicap. By the way, I (A)“outgrew” my chronic condition by age eleven.
In high school, I had another experience of winning. Although I loved reading about biology, I could not bring myself to dissect a frog in lab. I hated the smell of anything dead, and the idea of cutting open a frog (B)disgusted me. Every time I tried to take the scalpel to the frog, my hands would shake and my stomach would turn. Worst of all, my biology teacher reacted to my futile attempts with contempt. After an (C)amusing couple of weeks, I decided get hold of myself. I realized that I was overreacting. With determination, I swept into my next lab period, walked up to the table, and with one swift stroke, slit open a frog. After that incident, I (D)excelled in biology. I had conquered a fear of the unknown and discovered something new about myself. I had won again.
Through these experiences, I now know that I appreciate life more if have to sacrifice to overcome these impediments. This is a positive drive for me, the very spirit of winning.
