Once my mother told me a story that in Africa, when an antelope (羚羊) wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be
36 to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.”
37 , a lion wakes from his dream. The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the
38 antelope, or I will starve to
39 .” So almost simultaneously(同時(shí)地), the antelope and the lion get up and start running toward the
40 sun.
This is

54 : it is kind and necessary.
I learned a lot from realizing this
55 . Now I understand better about the world. Competition is important for us all.
