题目内容

The seventh game of any play-off series is always special, win or lose. It always has an

edge-of-your-sear, heart-in-your-throat intensity unlike any other. One play, on e shot, one save

may make all the difference.

But there are other things that make our games and sports so special.

For example, where we play our sports is often one of the best things about the games. Think

of it: What is as perfect as a fresh sheet of ice after the Zamboni machine（赞博尼磨冰机）has

made its final pass and left the surface as smooth as glass ? Or a swimming pool on a summer

morning, clear and calm, before the first swimmer has broken the water?

To me a freshly mowed and lined soccer lied is as beautiful as any painting. So is a golf course in the early morning, or in the evening when the sun is setting.

The stuff we play with is wonderful, too. Is there anything that feels as good in your hand as a brand-new baseball? Or a nice leather football? Grab hold either, and you just have to play a game of catch.

The clothes are good too. Sports uniforms are much more colorful and comfortable than regular clothes. Maybe that’s why so many kids stay in their sports uniforms long after their games are over.

No shoes feel better on my feet than my golf shoes. Maybe that’s because I know I am going to have fun whenever I put them on.

We talk so much about winning in sports. But if you are the kind who is happy only when their team wins, then sports will let you down. After all, too team or player wins all the time.

But if you can learn to enjoy parts of sports that have nothing to do with winning or losing-the feel of a favorite bat or stick in your hand, or how your heart beats when you put on your uniform and run onto the field-then sports will always be fun. Whether you win or lose.

41．Which of the following words in close in meaning to the phrases “edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-throat” in Para 1?

A．Uncertain. B．Seared. C．Nervous. D．Enthusiastic.

42．According to the writer, people are advised .

A．not to play a game of catch B．to wear sports uniform long

C．not to talk about winning in sports D．to have fun in sports

43．Sports uniforms, as well as sports shoes, are mentioned in the text .

A．as an example of the special feeling of sports

B．as comfortable wearing for sports

C．as particular desire of children

D．as most favorite of sportsmen

44．Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．Whether You Win or Lose B．Many Joys of Sports

C．Winning in Sports D．Games and Sports

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar , and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.

Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."

Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.

These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity（慈善机构）, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.

Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.

Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was about to be lost forever, by the U.S. education system. He had been failing since first grade. Steve was a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a twelve year old, yet, Steve went unnoticed... until Miss White.

Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break he was punished for failing to turn in his homework! Still, he did not study.

In the middle of the first term of school, the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things. His heart was in the woods, where he often escaped alone, trying to shut out the sights, sounds and smells of his alcoholic home.

One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams.

“Steve!” he turned to look at her.

“Pay attention!”

Steve locked his eyes on Miss White with adolescent adoration, as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

“You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but...” She hesitated.

“...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”

She just stared at Steve, as the class turned around for a good look. Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips.

After that, it was war!! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework even as the punishments became more severe.

“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing happened.

“Give yourself a chance! Don’ give up on your life!” Nothing.

“Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it!! Someone cared about him? Someone, totally perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM!

Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that afternoon. He, quickly, gathered up his camping things, this time including his schoolbooks. Determined, he headed for the woods.

The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all sparkle and smiles! God, she was beautiful! He expected her smile to turn on him. It did not.

Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test, and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled, she began to look it over. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart beating within his chest. As he sat down, he couldn’t resist another look at the lovely woman.

Miss White’s face was in total shock! She glanced up at Steve, then down, then up. Suddenly, her face broke into a bright smile. The smartest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test!

From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it! And he continued this course throughout his school life.

After high-school Steve entered the Navy, and he had a successful military career. During his Naval career, he inspired many young people, who without him, might not have believed in themselves.

You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.
