B

He is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life.

The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall. But his athletic achievements, as impressive as they are, are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man.

Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens, Hall was rated among the country’s top 25 high school basketball players. An inner-city kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College — still recovering from its failure — back to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主) brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle. However, I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.

After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career. The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball. When I met Hall — still fit at 46 — for lunch Monday, he wore a cut-sharp gray suit, designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Success. “That was always the question — when the cheers end, where do you go? Who do you turn to?” he said. “It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.”

Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good of an athlete you are, you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said. “But if you take care of things academically, you are prepared until you leave this earth.”

For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs. He figured out early what others learn too late: Athletics is part of a journey, not the destination.

Congratulations, Ray, you made it. In more ways than one.　　　　　　　

1.Ray was regarded as a savior because ________.

A. he liked to take on challenges

B. he helped his team to regain its glory

C. he was faithful to his hometown city

A. Unlike other athletes, he was academically superior.

B. He defeated his injury and returned to the playground.

C. He enjoys a successful job and a happy family.

D. He has gained impressive athletic achievements.

3.What’s the right order of the events related to Ray?

a. He was rated among the best high school basketball players.

b. He was in a car accident.

c. He graduated from Canisius College.

d. He started his computer sales job.

e. He gave up his athletic career.

A. a, c, b, e, d   B. a, c, e, b, d  C. c, a, b, d, e  D. c, a, e, b, d

4.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. Ray was from an academic family

B. Ray was very mature in his teens

C. Ray was once desperate facing the cruel reality

D. athletics was not Ray’s final goal in life

5.What was the writer’s intention in writing this passage?

A. To describe the difficulties of being a professional athlete.

B. To explain the importance of choosing the right college.

C. To emphasize the need for a good education.

D. To warn against playing professional basketball.

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses.

One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and although they made their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone, barking and jumping. Busy with their own lives, they paid no attention to the nervous little neighbor dog.

Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take ''no'' for an answer. Ted, Brownie's owner, was continuously disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking all the time, then darting toward a nearby empty lot (an area of land) and back, as if to say, ''Follow me! It's urgent (紧急的)! ''

Eventually, Ted followed Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty stopped to race back and barked encouragingly. The little dog led the man to a deserted spot. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his legs stuck in a steel trap. Frightened, Ted now wished he had followed Spotty earlier.

Then Ted noticed something. Spotty had done something else besides leading Brownie's human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found some food remains of every meal. Brownie had been fed that week! Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive. Spotty had actually stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up.

Brownie's leg was carefully treated and he soon got well again. For many years thereafter the two families watched the faithful friends running after each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

1.At the very beginning, Ted paid little attention to Spotty because　 _.

A.he was not free at the moment B.he was sure Brownie would be OK

C.he didn't like Spotty D.his missing dog made him sad

2.The underlined word ''darting'' in the third paragraph can be replaced by　　　 .

A.walking B.shouting C.rushing D.looking

3.After Ted was brought where Brownie was trapped, he　　　　 .

A.managed to free his dog at once B.was very thankful to Spotty

C.regretted not following Spotty earlier D.was angry with the trap-maker

4.We can infer from the passage that　　　　 .

A.humans and animals depend on each other for comfort

B.it's not right to hunt animals in any neighborhood

C.Ted has to take better care of his beloved dog later on

D.it was Spotty's timely help that saved Brownie

There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.

On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened．He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said．

“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moon-

light. He looked again at his father.

Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed．He threw the huge bass into the black water.

The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish. That

was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.

And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

1.．How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?

A．Delighted．    B．Nervous.       C．Embarrassed．     D．Shocked．

2.What happened when it became clear that the big fish was a bass?

A．The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.

B．The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.

C．The father made a decision that the fish must be set free.

D．They worried other fishermen might know what they had done.

3.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because ________________.

A．they might catch a big fish there     B．he remembered the moral lesson from his father

C．he wanted to remember his father       D．their children enjoyed fishing there

4.What does the author want to show in the story?

A．It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.

B．An ethical decision is not difficult to make.

C．It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.

D．Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.
