to, but what I feel inside.
Ever since I was young, I have loved professional wrestling. I woke up every Saturday to watch my
favorite "Superstars." As I grew older, I got a lot of flak for watching this "fake" sport. My peers would
laugh at me for following what was called a "man's soap opera." So, I put my love for wrestling on the
shelf. Like everyone else, I wanted to be associated with the cool clique. I yearned to be invited to the
parties of the in-crowd and hang out with the popular kids. I became pretty successful. Although my
Friday evenings were busy with parties, I would still wake up early Saturdays to watch wrestling. It wasn't until freshman year that I realized I wasn't being myself.
That year, I tried many new things and activities and made new friends. In my town, football was the
sport, so I decided to play football, thinking it might give me a head start in popularity. The team started
with 48 athletes. At the end, there were 14 of us left. I stuck it out not because I liked it, but because I
am not a quitter. That long season taught me a lesson: I wasn't a football player. More importantly, it taught me to be myself.
After that season, I went back to being a wrestling fan. I watched it religiously, no matter what insults
were thrown my way. I came across a quote: "Don't Dream It, Be It." When I read this, my friend Dan
had the same idea I had.
"What if we build a wrestling ring?" we asked. We acquired the necessary wood and equipment for
its construction. The following weekend, we met at his house. We saw our dream in a pile in his backyard. We worked from dawn to dusk to build our great establishment. By Sunday night, our mission was
complete. Our hard work (combined with a little creativity) had paid off. We had a real ring. We decided
to hold an "event." We practiced for hours, trying to improve every aspect of our wrestling ability. The
date was May 24th. Our show had a start time of 9: 00 p.m. To our surprise, about one hundred family,
friends and fans showed up to support us. It was the most important night of my life and a complete
success. Since that time, we have held five shows with as many as two hundred and fifty people turning
out. We continue to live this dream. We accomplished what we set out to do. We are now well known
throughout school. When I walk down the halls, I am respected by my peers. Some are the same peers
who ridiculed me for watching wrestling when I was younger. When they approach me, they often say,
"Good match, Chris." I humbly say, "Thank you," knowing I did something I believed in.
As my senior year winds down, I'll remember all of my high school memories. But what will stick out
most is the memory that I did something I loved, despite what everyone said or thought. I accomplished
my goal ... I lived my dream.
B. the different clothes he wears and the different music he listens to
C. that he is younger than the others.
D. the different ideas he has
B. I put the clothes for wrestling on the shelf.
C. I decided to quit following wrestling.
D. I began not to watch wrestling on TV.
B. realized he was being himself
C. was still sociable
D. built a wrestling ring
B. make his dream realized
C. be a professional player
D. have parties there.
B. Pessimistic
C. Doubtful
D. Surprised

NOBLE SMUGGLER
This Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler（偷运者）. During World WarⅡ, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto（聚居区）. She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children’s real names buried in jars in her neighbours’ gardens.（The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed.）At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C., to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valorand Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.
You risked your life to save the children.
I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don’t ask if they can swim，you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.
How did you persuade parents to give up their children？
I had to answer honestly that I didn’t even know if we would get past the guards.
What was the most frightening moment？
When I saw a priest（牧师）in charge of an orphan age for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in then best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.
How did you get the children to be have as you smuggled them out？
I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.
Did you tell your own two children what you did？
I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn’t do more.
