Stan dreamed to take part in the Olympics. It was 1 dinner.
When Stan's family was seated, he2 ,"I'm going to the Olympics."
"Fourth-graders can do that?"Emma, his sister asked3 .
"I can!"Stan said."If I practice until I'm perfect, I can't fail."

His mom4 ,"Emm... you must decide what sport you will take up and that's a big5 ."
The first week, Stan tried to practice table tennis. It didn't seem as 6 as he thought. As a result, a ball hit his eye. The next week, he took up hurdling(跨栏). 7 , he hit his foot on a hurdle. The 8 week,Stan's arm got hurt.
" What happened?" Emma asked.

The following week, the family sat down for Sunday dinner 10 .
" I've decided not to play a sport." said Stan.

" No." said Stan." I'm 12 going to the Olympics."
Stan held up a book titled Is Sports Medicine the Career for You?" Over the past few 13 , I've discovered that sportsmen need a lot of 14 help. So I'll go to the Olympics as usual—as a sports doctor, not a sportsman."
Mom and Dad laughed." Now that is a great 15 , not a dream, Stan!" said Dad," Just go for it!"
