I met him first on a summer day in 1995.I 1 into his ugly small shop to have my 2 repaired.It wasn’t much of a job, so I waited while he did it.He greeted me with a sweet smile.“You are new in this place, aren’t you? ”
I said I 3 .I had moved into this street only a week 4 .
“This is a fine place, ” he said.I repaired there with my shoes off, looking around as he got ready to make repairs.He looked 5 at the leather.It was worn through because I had 6 to have the repair job done.I grew 7 impatient, for I was rushing to meet a friend.“Please 8 ,” I begged.
He looked at me 9 his glasses.“We won’t be long.I must do a good job.You see, I have a tradition to live up to.”
A tradition? In this ugly small shop that wasn’t any different from so many other shops on the side streets of New York ?
He must have felt my surprise, 10 he smiled as he went on.“Yes, my father was a good shoemaker.He always 11 me, ‘Son, do the best job on every shoe that comes into the shop, and be proud of your fine work.Do that 12 , and you’ll have both happiness and money enough to live on.’”
As he 13 me the finished shoes, he said , “These will 14 a long time.”
I left in a hurry.My friend would be waiting for me impatiently.
That evening I 15 the shop.There he was.When he saw me, he waved and smiled.This was the beginning of our friendship that came to mean more and more to me as time passed.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从1~25各题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案.
While I was at school, I 1 train with Spurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also 2 for English schoolboys, so I suppose I was 3 a school boy star.
I didn't really get into 4 at school. I had my two elder brothers there for 5 of the time that I was there, so my stay at the school wasn't that hard. 6 other children had a really hard time.
I left 7 the end of the Fourth Year, and that caused a bit of trouble. I was allowed 8 maths and technical drawing early. I passed them 9 , but unfortunately I failed in woodwork. If I'd stayed on 10 12 subjects like the other children.
It was a big decision to leave early so as 11 take all my exams. It could have meant that I'd wasted 12 years. But how many could get the 13 that I had? I'm told that only one in 1000 makes it in 14 , so you have only a very slim chance. But I decided to go for it and looking back it was the 15 thing to do.
I didn't support Spurs 16 a boy. I supported QPR, my local team. But to play for Spurs, 17 had just won the FA Cup, was interesting to me. There were so many 18 , and of course Bill Nicholson was the 19 then—a great manager.
I didn't have any girlfriends at 20 .I was 21 deeply involved (陷于) in football that I didn't have time. 22 I don't have direct contact with my old school friends, I own a sports 23 in the area, so they often drop into the shop and talk about the old days, 24 is really nice. I'm always pleased to see them.
I would advise anyone 25 to be a footballer to stay on at school to do their exams. If a club wants you badly enough they'll come in for you later.
