I"m the mid-field player on my team. But in fact that"s not (1) now. I was the mid-field player because, as I
said, this was my (2) game. That"s a good way to end a high school football career (生涯), especially if you
win, but even though you don"t, it"s (3) to leave at a high point.
I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad (4) football, and he used to practise with me at

ago, but I still hear his words (8) in my ears.
I had a lot on my mind (9) the game today. I don"t like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game.
I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn"t sleep at all (10), and when
the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where (11) just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But
then when the game started, my mind became (12). I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn"t hear the

mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her sitting by her
window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) and reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was
unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "Why doesn"t that woman clean her window?
It really looks terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat,including cleaning the window.
Late in the afternoon after I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for
a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window,but all the time I was watching
hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through
the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点)?
From then on, whenever I want to judge someone, I ask myself first, "Am I looking at him through
my own dirty window?" Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others" world
more clearly.
B．his window was dirty
C．the woman lived far away
D．he was near-sighted (近视的)

But nobody answered and the waiter had to leave. Mr Turner said to his wife,"I"m sure Mr Jenkins

her. But these days she has become not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and
key (严密保管). Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early

meet her daughter. Just at that time the noise of a car drew her to the window and---there was her
daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was
watching TV, just like nothing had happened. "Mum, I"m back." "Yeah." "Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?"
"Yes. Oh, that… Who"s that boy?" The daughter was stunned (发楞) for some time. "Ah. It"s my monitor.
He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I"m going to bed." "All right. Go to sleep early."
Next morning when the mother went to the daughter"s room to do some cleaning, she found her diary
left on the bed. After a few minutes"thinking, she at last opened it to the page of the night before. It reads:
