　 A Good Friend, A Second Self

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play. Mrs. Dermitt, my drama teacher, had been looking for someone to play an energetic boy in a comedy. Luckily for me, she thought that I could handle the 　36 .

That afternoon my friend Kevin and I talked 　37 about the play. Although Kevin hadn’t been 　38 for a part on stage, his job with the set crew was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little 　39 because I had a lot of lines to memorize.

“You can do it.” He said. I knew I could 　40 him: we had been friends since the third grade, and we 　41 a good team.

Preparations for the play moved at a rapid pace. While working hard with the set crew, Kevin 　42 spent hours helping me learn my lines. He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips. We 　43 that he could probably play my part as well as I could.

Three days before the 　44 night, everything was ready for the performance. But when I woke up 　45 a fever and sore throat on the day of the play, the entire production came to a sudden 　46 . Everyone in the drama department was worried, 　47 there was no way I could perform. The play was 　48 to open in fewer than six hours, and we had no time to cancel. I tried to think of a way to 　49 . Then it hit me – Kevin knew the 　50 as well as I did. I called Mrs. Dermitt to give her my 　51 . Within a few short hours, Kevin stood onstage in costume and makeup. The amusing lines he had 　52 with me so many times made the crowd laugh and cheer. In a strange turn of events, Kevin and I had 　53 the day for everyone by working as a team.

Of course, I was terribly disappointed to have 　54 my chance in the spotlight, but I was extremely 　55 to have such a good friend.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　With kings,artists and writers playing chess,you mightget the idea that chess is the most civilized game．But you'dbe wrong．

　　A Scandinavian manuscript（手稿）,900 years old,tells ofhow one player,who lost a game,picked up the board and hithis opponent on the head with it．Boards were made of stone inthose days．

　　Grandmasters have called it“a blood sport”,“like a fightto the death with broken bottles”and“very dangerous-you have to kill people．”

　　If you agree with the old saying that life is too short for chess,play blitz chess．Five minutes on the clock．Non-play-ers think chess is slow and boring,but blitz is an extremely exciting sport．And as aggressive（进攻性的）as any martial art（武术）．In parks in Russia,where they gather in summer to play blitz,the players don't just take pieces,they knock them off the board onto the ground．And in the classic game,even world championship players have been known to kick each other under the table．

　　With all this aggression,and the stories of nervous breakdowns among chess players,it's worth remembering that chess can heal as well as harm．My own favourite chess story is that of John Healy．His autobiography（自传）,The Grass Arena，was made into a great film by the BBC．Healy was a failed boxer who became the most serious kind of alcoholic（酒鬼）．He became homeless．The bottle nearly killed him．But in prison,he discovered chess,and managed to give up drinking completely．He is now a successful chess player,journalist and writer．

　　Healy is played in the film by the British actor Mark Rylance．It's the performance of a lifetime-chess makes surpris-ingly good cinema．There is a moving scene where Healy tries to find the words to describe how his life has changed．“It's like boxing again…but not with fists…with the mind．”
