完形填空。     A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (诱人的) apple on one of the branches
of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn"t much of a fruit-eater,   1 a bar of chocolate if
given the choice,   2  , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The
more he looked at it, the   3   he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
       4   as high as he could, but even as his tallest   5   he was unable to touch It. He began to   6 up and down,
as high as he could, at the   7   of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of   8  .
     Not giving up, he though, if only he had something to   9   on. His school bag wouldn"t give enough height
and he didn"t want to  10  the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking  11 , he hoped
he might find an old box, a rock, or,  12  luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was
nothing he could use.
     He had tired everything he could think to do.  13  seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk
  14 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  15 , and how
he really wanted that apple. The more he  16  like this, the more unhappy he became.
      17 , the boy of our story was a preetty smart guy,even if he cloudn"t always get what get he wanted. He
started to say to himself. This isn"t  18 , I don"t have the apple and I"m feeling miserable as well. There"s  19
more Ican do to get the apple-that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to  20  our feelings. If that"s
the case, what can I do to feel better?

     Shay asked, "Do you think they"ll let me play?" Shay"s father knew that most of the boys would not want
someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled,
were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.
     Shay"s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much.
The boy looked around and said, "We"re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局). I
guess he can be on our team and we"ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning."
     Shay struggled over to the team"s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a
small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father"s joy at his son being accepted.
     In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay"s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top
of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was
obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay"s team scored
again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win
the game?
     Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投)
came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As
the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
     The pitcher could have easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that
would have been the end of the game.Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman,
beyond the reach of all teammates. The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, "Shay,
run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.
Everyone should, "Run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second.By the time Shay
rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team fir
the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher"s intentions and
he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman"s head.
     All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the way Shay." Shay reached third base when one opposing
player ran to help him and shouted, "Shay, run to third." As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying,
"Shay, run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who the who
won the game for his team.
    That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn"t
make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father
so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

1. Not expecting much, Shay"s father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because the father _____.

D. understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted

3. The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman"s head, probably because that boy _____.

D. saw that Shay already reached second base

4. Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay"s becoming the hero for his team?

A. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.
B. The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.

     "I didn"t hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that
exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is
what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said "yes" and it was announced again."
     It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from
Destrehan, Louisiana-she was still on cloud nine.

I was six. She"s been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I"ve learned to get over bad life"s
experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
     One of those bad life"s experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed

write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
     As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of
drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving,
in addition to many other things to help the youth.
     When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don"t let anyone change
you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."

     Recently, one of my best friends, whom I"ve shared just about everything with since childhood, spent the
weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we"ve both always looked forward to the
few   1   a year when we can see each other.
     Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up   2   into the night, talking about the people she
was   3  . She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and
was   4   other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me   5   she had been lying to her parents
about where she was going and even   6   out to see the guy. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she
deserved   7  , she didn"t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have   8 .
     I tried to   9   her that she was ruining her future and heading for big  10 , but she thought it acceptable to
have such a boyfriend.
     By the time she left, I was really worried about her and  11  by the experience. It had been so frustrating,
I had come  12  to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just  13  too far apart to
continue our friendship-but I didn"t. I put the  14  of friendship to the final test. We"d been friends for far too
long. I had to hope that she  15  me enough to know that I was trying to save her from  16  herself. I wanted
to believe that our friendship could conquer  17 .
     A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our 18 , and then she told she
had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of  19  running down

     Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton always tried to seek help
for one or two poor families. With a social worker mother, the Sutton children had inherited her commitment
to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted. This year, Kinzie, her seven-
year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named
Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself.
     The phone rang on Sunday. A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann
had requested for Ashley had fallen through. No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing.
     Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children"s faces at the news. Without a word, Kinzie ran into her
bedroom. She returned, her face set with determination. Opening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto
the table: $3.30. Everything she had.
     "Mom," she told Ann, "I know it"s not much. But maybe this will buy a present for the baby."
     At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughter"s story. To her surprise,
staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie. By day"s end, the story of
Kinzie"s gift had spread beyond Ann"s office. She received a call from an unknown donor. If a seven-year-old
could give everything she had, he said, he should at least match her gift 100 to 1. He contributed $300.
    On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived. Then
she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one.
     Ashley was very moved. Reflecting on a little girl"s generosity, Ashley says she"ll one day be able to do
something similar for someone else in need. "Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it
away," Ashley says. "She"s the type of kid I"d like my son to grow up to be."
