“Mum, I want to make you a bet,” I said. “If I go a whole year without TV, will you give me a hundred dollars?”
“Well, if you can
1 do it, …”
“Of course I can,” I replied, trying to convince
2 .
In fact, all this started from my
3 of a picture in the newspaper. I couldn’t bear to look at that boy. He said that he had
4 one year without TV for a hundred dollars,
5 me with mocking eyes. It seemed he was saying, “I did it,
6 you can’t!”. I glared at the boy’s face.
That year I did a lot of things. For example, my father taught me to
7 , which became my favorite sport.
8 winter afternoons snowball wars with my neighbors offered daily drama. I went on bike trips with my friends and swam as much as a fish.
It was unbelievable how much
9 I had without TV. I learned so many new games. I guess the
10 thing I learnt, though, was self-motivation(上進心).
I started to do my homework. I went from a D student to an A student within a couple of
11 .
I used to
12 reading if there were no
13 , but now I began to read and enjoy it. I could arrange off all the pictures just the way I wanted them—my own little TV, right
14 my head!
I’m surprised what I did. I got a lot more from the
15 than just the 100 dollars!
