题目内容

He was no scholar, and his classmates teased him．Rather than reading, the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting homemade movies of wrecks of his Lionel train set(which he showed to friends for a small fee)

In his second year of high school he dropped out．But when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning-disabled class, he lasted one month．Only when his family moved to another town did he land in a more suitable high school where he graduated eventually.

After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven Spielberg enrolled in English at California State University at Long Beach .Then in 1965 he recalls ,in one of those casual moments, his life took a complete turn．Visiting Universal Studios , he met Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department．Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.

He appeared the next day．Without a job or a security clearance , Spielberg(dressed in a dark suit and tie, carrying his father’s briefcase with nothing inside but “a sandwich and candy bars’’)walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal Studios and gave him a casual wave．The guard waved back．He was in.

“For the entire summer,” Spielberg remembers,” I dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and writes including Silvers, who knew the kid was not a studio employee, but winked at the deception) I even found an office that was not being used ,and became a squatter．I bought some plastic tiles and put my name in the building directory: Steven Spielberg, Room 23C〞

It paid off for everyone．Ten years later the 28-year-old Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million, then the highest-grossing movie of all time．Dozens of films and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew what his teachers didn’t---talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.

I first went to Harrow in the summer term.The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen.It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy,and push him into the pool.I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.

One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool.He was no bigger than I was,so I thought him a fair game.Coming secretly behind,I pushed him in,holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet,I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water,and a being of great strength making its way by fierce strokes(猛力地划) to the shore.I fled,but in vain.He overtook me,seized me violently,and threw me into the deepest part of the pool.I soon climbed out on the other side,and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.“Do you know what you have done?”they said.“It’s Amery;he is in Grade Six.He is champion at gym;he has got his football honor.”

I was frightened and felt ashamed.How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small?I decided to apologize immediately.“I am sorry,”I said,“I mistook you for a Grade Four boy.You are so small.”He didn’t seem pleased at all,so I added in a most brilliant word.“My father,who is a great man,is also small.”At this he laughed,and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future,signified the incident was closed.

I was watching some little kids play soccer. These kids were only five or six years old, but they were playing a real game — a serious game — two teams, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents. I didn’t know any of them, so I was able to enjoy the game without the distractionof being anxious about winning or losing.

The teams were pretty evenly matched. I will just call them Team One and Team Two. Nobody scored in the first period. Then came the second quarter. The Team One coach pulled out what must have been his first team and put in the scrubs(替补队员), except for his best player who now guarded the goal.

The game took a dramatic turn. I guess winning is important even when you’re five years old — because the Team Two coach left his best players in, and the Team One scrubs were no match for them. Team Two packed around the little guy who was now the Team One goalkeeper. He was an outstanding athlete, but he was no match for three or four who were also very good. Team Two began to score. The lone goalkeeper gave it everything he had, desperately throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying bravely to stop them.

Team Two scored two goals in quick succession. It angered the young boy. He became a raging maniac — shouting, running, diving. With all the strength he could gather, he covered the boy who now had the ball, but that boy kicked it to another boy twenty feet away, and by the time he repositioned himself, it was too late — they scored a third goal.

I soon learned who the goalkeeper’s parents were. They were nice, decent-looking people. I could tell that his dad had just come from the office — he still had his suit and tie on. They yelled encouragement to their son. I became totally absorbed, watching the boy on the field and his parents on the sidelines.

After the third goal, the little kid changed. He didn’t quit, but he became quietly desperate and futility was written all over him. His father changed, too. He had been urging his son to try harder — yelling advice and encouragement. But then he became anxious. He tried to say that it was okay — to hang in there. He sorrowed for the pain his son was feeling.

After the fourth goal, I knew what was going to happen. The little boy fetched the ball from the net and handed it to the referee(裁判). He just stood there while huge tears rolled down both cheeks. He went to his knees, and he cried the tears of the helpless and brokenhearted.

At that moment, I saw the father start onto the field. His wife seized his arm and said, “Jim, don’t. You’ll embarrass him.” But he tore loose from her and ran onto the field. Suit, tie, dress shoe, and all — he charged onto the field, and he picked up his son so everybody would know that this was his boy, and he hugged him and held him and cried with him. I’ve never been so proud of a man in my life.

He carried him off the field, and when he got close to the sidelines I heard him say, “Scotty, I’m so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my son.”

“Daddy,” the boy sobbed. “I couldn’t stop them. I tried, Daddy, but they scored on me.”

“Scotty, it doesn’t matter how many times they scored on you. You’re my son, and I’m proud of you. I want you to go back there and finish the game. I know you want to quit, but you can’t. And, son, you’re going to get scored on again, but it doesn’t matter. In my eyes, you are the winner! Go on, now.”

The little guy ran back onto the field — and they scored two more times — but it was okay. Now in all viewers’ eyes, he is the Winner.

When you’re all alone, and you’re getting scored on — and you can’t stop them — it means a lot to know that it doesn’t matter to those who love you. In their eyes, so long as you don’t give up, you are the winner. And they are always proud of you.

No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash’s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament（锦标赛）last summer in Wisconsin, US.

The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “Count your clubs,” he told the teenager.

Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach’s eyes filled with tears.

If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls（假摔以使对方犯规）.

Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn’t a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties（处罚）on themselves.

“It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right thing,” said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.

Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game’s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”

So even the error had no effect on Zach’s final score—he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do,” he said.

Then came another tournament. Before teeing off(开球), Zach counted his clubs—four times.

1.What can we infer from the text?

A. A friend put an extra club in Zach’s bag.

B. Zach returned the medal that he had won.

C. Zach’s grandparents encouraged him to play fair.

D. Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.

2.According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that ______.

A. honor comes before victory

B. players are superior to coaches

C. referees have to watch each shot

D. players needn't care about medals

3. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

A. One should be praised for not robbing a bank.

B. Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.

C. Little did Bobby care about the penalty.

D. Observing rules demands no praise.

4. Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?

A. He remembered the lesson. B. He lacked self-confidence.

C. He felt a little too nervous.

D. He was no good with numbers.
