根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。      When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized
from my dad"s office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his
seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided
himself on his career. 1_____ I guess I had taken his work for granted.
     2_____ For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up,
and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer
searching for jobs. 3_____ He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and
me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn"t much. I also found a part-time job.
     4_____ He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business.
Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. "Only if it doesn"t affect school,"
he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.
     5_____ The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that
through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have
learned from my dad"s understanding of business and his work ethic (信条) are two of the most important
lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success. A. Providing for our family has been his joy.
B. I made every effort to solve his problems.
C. I began to notice how losing his job had affected him.
D. My father"s unemployment created many changes in our lives.
E. After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.
F. His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career.
G. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot.

     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.

necessary  13  including a green kitchen glove.

     My father was a keen baseball fan Whenever he could, Dad took me out to the park and pitched balls for
me to hit.
     One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play. My dad was
over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game. The woman explained that her son had polio (小
儿麻痹症) and wouldn"t be able to get out of the chair. That didn"t stop my dad. He placed the bat in the
youngster"s hand, pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat. Then he yelled out to me,
"Anne, pitch one in to us."
     I saw the delight in the boy"s eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly. The ball made contact with the
bat with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy. As I turned, I heard my dad singing Take Me
Out to the Ball Game.
     An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy. Dad told the mother to bring the boy back next
Saturday and we would play another game.
     Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came Twenty years passed, with
my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood. Before moving I decided to take one
last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments. Two Little League teams were
on the field just about to start a game I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game.
     "Jeff, protect your base," one coach yelled I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield.
The coach turned and smiled, "I never thought I"d ever be a coach playing on this field You see, I had polio as
a child and was restricted to a wheelchair. Thanks to a man"s assistance, I was able to hit the ball and hear him
singing the song Take Me Out to the Ball Game. I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again I hope
that some day I"ll look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again I sure would like to thank him."
