（十）【2019 • 重庆市中考B卷】
When ＂A Youthful Asia＂ came out at the Asian Culture Carnival (嘉年华) , tears filled my eyes. It’s Zhang Yixing, the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China, and the very one who stopped me from falling.
Three years ago, my new school life began. As a junior boy from the countryside, I could hardly keep up. I tried, but still felt like an outsider. Nobody would pick me for teamwork. So I stayed in the corner, hanging my head low as if I didn’t care. There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless.
Then on May 4, I was ＂colorless＂ in Yixing’s book about his life. How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol (青年偶像)? I read the book again, smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his pormise to his mum.
Something wet my eyes when he joked about his trianing years in Korea. He doubled his practice, pushing himself so hard as to be called ＂the trainee (练习生) like god＂. He said it probably meant ＂the trainee like mad＂.
I might have tried, but not as hard as he did. ＂Whenever I feel I might be falling, I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment.＂ Says Yixing. For me, this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside. So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time.
Luckily, every Youth Day after that, Yixing would be there on CCTV, encouraging me with his prograss. When someone asked him what color his training life was, Yixing smiled, ＂It’s colorless. I don’t know what color effort is.＂
But effort pays. Not he’s standing at the Asian Culture Carnival, and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger.
42. When the writer just moved to the city, he __________.
A. enjoyed his new school life B. had a hard time at his new school
