It's not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero. 【1】

If you saw her, you wouldn't think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts（选拔赛） 【2】. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what happened.

Sandra isn't the tallest or the fastest— in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed— but that didn't stop her 【3】. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyone's heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.

After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games.【4】 Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero— and my hero, too.

A.I didn't really understand the meaning of the word "hero" until my third year in the college.

B.We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile.

C.She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave.

D.When she stood at the door and smiled happily all we could do was to cheer up.

E.But I didn't notice anything special at first

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者心中的英雄是学校排球队的桑德拉，他非常勤奋、积极和乐观。

【1】根据上文“It's not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero.”可知，作者认为具有英雄品质的人不容易找到，后文叙述桑德拉的事迹，可知与之搭配的应该是：直到我大三的时候才真正理解了“英雄”这个词的含义。故选A。

【2】根据上文“I first met her at volleyball tryouts”以及下文“As the week passed, … than anyone”可知，作者最开始碰到她是在排球选拔赛，一个星期过后，她惊讶地发现桑德拉比任何人都有勇气。与之搭配的应该是：但是刚开始我并没有注意到她有什么特别的。故选E。

【3】根据上文“this was her first time … stop her”以及“By the end …in everyone's heart.”可知，桑德拉没有天分，第一次接触排球，但是在选拔赛结束时，每个人都记住了她。与之搭配的应该是：她总是最早一个到，最晚一个走。故选C。

【4】根据上文“When she asked for help… us in the city games.”以及下文“Because of her …and my hero, too.”可知，我们都很乐意教她，她也是我们的粉丝，因为她的努力，她把自己变成一个英雄。与之搭配的应该是：我们都很喜欢她，因为她从不按简单的方式做事情，或者失去笑容。故选B。
