After winning a big game,athletes are often asked how they feel.Usually athletes say how 1 it is to win this big game.On the contrary,the fact is that losing a big game,or in my case,all the games,can be even harder.
From the spectators’ point of view,last year’s basketball 2 for my high school team was nothing 3 of an embarrassment.And 4 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of,that season had a bigger impact on me than any other.As a team captain,I knew it probably wouldn’t be the 5 year,but did I ever think we would lose every game?Of course not.Since six of our top players had graduated,it was clear that we were a (n) 6 team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected, 7 ,as our team center was suspended (禁赛) for the season,and two key members decided to 8 for some reason.At this point,dropping out probably passed through every player’s mind,but in the end,we all stuck if out, 9 to work still harder.
Then there came a time when even our 10 and given up on us.Personally,I felt like it was 11 worthwhile giving my all.I thought,if even the coach doesn’t believe in us,why should I?But just as my hope began to 12 ,a teammate called a meeting.He said,“Nobody thinks we are going to win,but,as teammates and friends,we 13 it to each other to go all out every game.”
It was that moment that 14 me how to be a leader.It hit me that I certainly didn’t 15 the role.As a leader you can never quit 16 the team who looks up to you.It is one 17 to be named captain,feel great and go through the motions,but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone realizes their full 18 all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through without losing and bringing home awards.But in all honesty,I 19 the fact that my team lost every game last year.It may not help me to become a better basketball player,but it already has made me a better leader,and 20 .

In Miami, thousands of students have been out of class for some days because of Hurricane Wilma. Educational officials are worried about the long break will affect students’ school performance.
“We think that the sooner we get back to business, the better,” said Rudy Crew, headmaster of Miami-Dade School. 360, 000 students in this area will return to class on Thursday, 10 days after Wilma hit South Florida.
More than half the district’s 327 school buildings were seriously damaged when Wilma struck on October 24, and 270 buildings lost electrical power. About 30 buildings are still out of power, but lights may be back on Thursday when students return. In Broward County, schools will remain closed through Friday, because more than 100 buildings have been damaged after the storm. With traffic affected by broken stoplights, officials are worried about the safety of children traveling to and from school.
In Miami-Dade County, the nation’s fourth largest school district, officials are considering ways to make up for lost time. They may make the school year longer and reduce days from two-week holiday break in late December, said spokesman John Schuster.
Some parents also worry about the effect of lost school days. “They’re missing important tests and lessons that they are going to need. And how do you catch up with that lost time? It just disappears,” a high school student’s mother said.
“Although things are difficult, students’ performance in hurricane-damaged district may not be seriously affected by the hurricane”, said Florida Education Commissioner John Winn. “It turned out that hurricane-affected districts showed more learning gains than other districts in previous years. They have learned how to fight against disaster in any time. Things will turn better anyway.”
40. When will students return to school in the district?
A. October 24. B. October 31.
C. November 3. D. November 7.
41. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Many school buildings were seriously damaged.
B. Many school buildings lost electrical power.
C. Some parents also worry about their kids’ studies.
D. Some students got killed when they were at school.
42. According to the passage, we know that _____.
A. maybe students will not have the two-week holiday in late December as usual
B. the school buildings which lost electrical power have all returned to normal
C. some parents don’t think the hurricane affect their children’s performance much
D. John Winn thought that students’ performance would get worse due to the hurricane
43. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Hurricane Wilma hit South Florida
B. Parents worry about children’ education
C. Hurricane Wilma affected school days
D. Damage by the Hurricane Wilma
