Following a Dream

Lewis was born in Britain in 1985, and his parents named him after the famous American sportsman Carl Lewis. Did they know that _______ fame (名望) was waiting for their son, too?

When Lewis was six, his father gave him a radio-controlled (無線電遙控的) car and he began to enter and _______ matches. From this very _______ age, Lewis’ dream was to become a Formula 1 driver, so his father bought him a go-kart and he started go-kart racing in 1993 when he was only eight years old. He won some races (比賽) , and he knew that he had to win more.

One day, when he was ten years old, Lewis met a man called Ron Dennis. Dennis was the manager of McLaren Formula 1 _______ . Lewis asked Dennis for his autograph(親筆簽名), saying, “My name’s Lewis and one day I want to _______ your cars.” Ron Dennis wrote in his autograph book, “Phone me nine years from now, we’ll talk about it again.” In fact, when Lewis won his first go-kart championship (冠軍) a few years later, Ron Dennis _______ him, and in 1999 Lewis joined McLaren’s “Young Drivers” programme. He was the youngest person ever to do this.

In 2001, world Formula 1 champion Mike said, “He’s a fantastic driver, very strong and _________ sixteen years old. If he keeps this up, I’m sure he will reach F1.”
