5、While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an incredible sight． The   

1 was swimming and started with only three men．For one reason or another, two of them had

a 2   start, so they were disqualified．That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to   3   against.

    I watched the man    4    off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong． Now I'm not an expert   5   but I do know a good dive   6  a poor one, and this was not exactly medal   7     .I listened to the crowd begin to   8   this poor man that was clearly having a   9   time． Finally he made his turn to start back． It was   10  ． He made a few desperate strokes（划水）and you could tell he was exhausted．

    But in those few    11    strokes, the crowd had changed． No longer were they laughing, but beginning to   12  ．Some even began to   13   things like, "Come on, you

can do it!" and he   14    finished his race．The crowd went   15     .Even though he recorded one of the   16   times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other   17  ．

    In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals, feeling they have   18    

been cheated out of go1d, or when they act so   19   in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog（败者）, a man that gave his all-knowing that he had no chance, but competed because of his   20  and the spirit of the games.
