Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from
school.
When I joined the team freshman year, I didn"t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been
playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put
into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and
mental shape before the season.
See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn"t only about getting
in shape. We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we were going to pass out. At the
beginning, I was immature (幼稚) and only thought of myself, sometimes even gave up when I was tired or
hurt. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being
able to play three games! I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to recover.
Needless to say, I missed the rest of the season, but this actually helped me realize that since you never
know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life.
After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity (校队的) football
has taught me so much more than just what my assignments are on a particular play or how to block. I have
learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even
sweating and bleeding with them, really made us bond as a group of hard-working young men who I know will
succeed in life.
B. When the author began to play football.
C. How the author has changed his attitude to football.
D. What sport the author likes best.
B. designing the playground
C. losing weight
D. measuring the track
B. football only brought the author certain assignments
C. the author never lost heart when he met with difficulty
D. the author worked all summer to get ready for the season
B. A good lesson about life.
C. A good relationship with his partners.
D. A good rest as he expected.

He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock. He tried to shave
quickly and cut himself when he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only
other shirt that was clean needed ironing, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the
door. It was the man to read the electricity meter, he showed him where the meter was, said goodbye and
found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By

to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.

important and that it was never too early to think about your life"s work. Most of the children really weren"t
too sure about what they wanted to be. But I knew exactly what I wanted to be, and when Mrs. Bolt asked
me, I replied "A truck driver."
"A truck driver," repeated Mrs. Bolt. "Why do you want to be a truck driver, Kenneth?"
"Because truck drivers are always on the move. They don"t have to sit at desks all day. They"re out on
the road and they see a lot of the country. The pay is good, too. And you never have any homework."
The class laughed.
"Well, Kenneth," answered Mrs. Bolt. "You certainly sound enthusiastic. I guessed that you don"t like
sitting at a desk or doing homework. Is that correct, Kenneth?"
"Yes, I guess so," I said.
"Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should investigate the field a little
further. I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving. And I want you to write a book
report on it and hand it at the end of the month."

during the break. I often noticed a small 1 playing with boys. I watched in 2 as she ran circles around the
other kids. She 3 to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop
her but no one could. At other times I saw her playing alone, sometimes until 4 .
One day I asked her way she 5 so much. She looked 6 in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation
she said, "The only way I can go to 7 is to get a scholarship. I believe that I would get it if I were good
enough at 8 . My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don"t 9 ." Then with a determined
smile she ran towards the court, I watched her 10 those junior high school years and into high school. Every
week, she led her team to victory.
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head 11 in her arms. The coach told her that at
5 feet 5 inches she would 12 never get to play for a top ranked team--much less offered a scholarship-so
she should 13 dreaming about college. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She 14 her head
from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches just did not understand the 15 of a dream. He
told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship, 16 could stop her except one thing-her own attitude.
The next year, 17 she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by
a college coach. She was indeed 18 a scholarship, a full one. She was going to get the college education that
she had 19 and worked toward for all those years. It"s 20 : If the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count.

| I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was seventeen when one morning Dad told me I could 1 him to a distant village, and then take the car to a 2 garage. I readily accepted. When we got to the village, I 3 to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the ear at the garage. With several hours to 4 , I went to a theater. However, when the last movie 5 , it was six.
