Passage 3　

Goalkeeper’s Tears

A ten-year-old boy, Peter, was very good at football, so he was in his school team. He always played very well and bravely in practice games and in matches, and he scored plenty of goals.

Peter’s grandparents usually came to see him when there was a match, and they were always happy when other people said, “Your grandson plays very well, doesn’t he?”

One day Peter told his grandmother, “Our school’s going to play against the Garden School next Friday. They have the best team in our city. Can you come and see the match?”

“Oh, yes,” his grandmother answered, “your grandfather and I will be there----and I’m certain that you’ll beat the Garden School.”

“I hope so.” Peter said.

The match was in the park, and it began at half past two on Friday.

In the first two minutes of the match, the Garden School boys came very close to the City School’s goal, but then the goal-keeper kicked the ball to Peter in the middle of the field, and Peter ran with it and kicked (踢) it straight into the goal. All the City School boys as well as their families were very happy to see it.

After he had scored once, Peter scored twice again before half time. Then in the second half of the match he nearly scored another goal, but he hardly(几乎不) touched the ball with his foot, and the goalkeeper caught it easily and threw it out again.

After the match, Peter’s grandfather said to him, “you missed a good chance(机会) to score a fourth goal then, Peter, If you’d kicked the ball hard, you’d have got a goal easily. Why did you kick it weakly?”

“Because there were tears in the goalkeeper’s eyes.” Peter answered.
