Jack was a boy with a big dream—to become a football star. He played football on the street for fun but he didn't play well. Although other kids often made fun of him for his bad skill, Jack didn't let that 1 him.

As time passed, Jack got better and better. His hard work 6 when he made the school team. Then one day, a scout (星探) from a professional club came to watch him play. Nervous but excited, Jack showed all his 7 .
After the game, the scout talked to Jack. A few weeks later, Jack got the 8 —he was invited to join a professional team! All his practice, all his 9 , had come true.
When Jack was asked about his 10 of being successful, he said, "If you work hard and keep trying, even when it's tough (艰难的), you can achieve anything."
