(2022·河北省·单元测试)    I still remember my first 10,000m race. That was an u  (31)   experience. I was not good at running. I was not strong enough, either. Why did I take part in the race? That's because of my volunteer work. When I was 14 years old, I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to pass out water to the runners. I felt e  (32)   when I saw all the different kinds of people pass by and take a cup of water hurriedly. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. After seeing so many t  (33)   of people do it, I thought maybe I could also do it. So the next year I signed up for the race.
     During the race, I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Sometimes I was even not sure if I could finish. Then c  (34)   an important moment.
     At one point near the end, an old man ran past me, very, very fast. Therefore, I was e  (35)   because I was much younger than him, but I couldn't keep up with him. I felt hopeless for a second. But then I r  (36)   something. He was running his race and I was running my race. He had different abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had m  (37)  . Remember my goal was only to finish.
     I learned something important at that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration.
     I d  (38)   that I would not give up though many people ran past me. As I c  (39)   the finish line, I was proud of my success.
     In life we all have those moments when we compare ourselves with others. It's only natural. Don't a  (40)   those moments to weaken you. Turn them into motivation(动力) and let them inspire you.
