When I was a little child my parents took me to German.   61      .When I came back, I could speak German fluently. “ Can I do something useful with German?” I asked myself.

Then, I got a good opportunity(机会) last spring. During that time our university had a long holiday, so I stayed at home with nothing to do.62        .  “ Why don’t you translate it into Chinese? It will be better than playing computer games all day.” I agreed happily.

I promised to do 4,000 words each day. But soon I found it was hard to keep the promise.

One day in May, the weather was beautiful.63         .Those 4,000 words were still waiting for me. After translating only three pages, I already lost interest in the book. I looked at it for a long time. But I couldn’t make myself turn the pages. How I wished I could just go outside and play basketball with my friends!

I counted the words again and again. I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting in my mind. One said, “Don’t give up! Keep working hard ,and you will do well!” But then the other one said, “Go and play! It will be more interesting than translating. Do your homework tomorrow.”

I stood up and would turn off the computer. But then I remembered what my parents had told me, “ Whatever you do, don’t stop half way.” 64         .

A. My father brought me a German book

B. So I sat down and went on with it

C. But I couldn’t go out

D.I lived there for nine years

E. I went out with my good friends
