And at last his team won the game After the game，John looked at the coach，with tears in his eyes，and said，“Well,you knew my dad died,but did you know that my dad was blind?John swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him that I could do it.”21.Why did John hardly have any chance to play in games?

To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement. From the Royal(皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life! The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee. In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British tradition, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside the workplace, tea was served for the nobility(贵族) and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea, it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafs and “tea gardens”. It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800, started the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four oclock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had bee part of a way of life. As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a days labour. This meal has bee known as “high tea”. Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break”is an institution in British offices and factories. Later in the day, “afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes, while “high tea”has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.25.Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England?A.Thomas Garway. B.The Royal Family.C.The Earl of Sandwich. D.The Duchess of Bedford.26.What can we learn from the passage?A. The “tea break” kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.B. Workers could enjoy a cup of tea in “tea gardens”at their workplace.C. “High tea”was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.D. The “afternoon tea” together with sandwiches became popular in around 1800.27.What is the best title of the passage? A.The Popularity of Tea B.Tea and the BritishC.Tea and the Middle Class D.The History of Tea C When the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister? Maybe. An emergency? Possibly.A mother? Probably not at that time of night. Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce, friendships are being more and more important. Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year friendship with her married friend Jane. “I was very sick one night, so I called Jane at about 3:00 a.m. to talk about it,” she says. “She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctors the next morning.”As American TV shows like Friends, which follows the lives of a very close group of young friends, have bee more popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships. TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last, but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.A TV show called Real Women is about the lives and relationships of five former school friends. In this show, family, husbands, and work are all less important than friendships. One of its actresses says the show reflects her own experience. “Friendship is about mitment. I dont see some of my friends for ages but when we get together, it is as if time hasn”t passed.”This is true of Erika and Janes friendship. With Erikas family 200 miles away, it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erikas apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away. “Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom. It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do, but she knows I would do the same for her.” Erika feels that because she no longer sees her family every day, she now enjoys a closer relationship with her best friend. Jane, who may move to a different city soon, is worried about leaving such a support system of friends. “My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I dont have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them. Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”28.According to the passage, a late-night phone call for most women is probably from _.A. a friend B. a relative C. a strangerD. a doctor29.TV shows like Friends tell us that _.A. marriages with friends often end up in failureB. families and work are as important as friends C. close friends help us face problems in lifeD. friendship fades(消退) as time goes by30.Which of the statements will the author probably agree with?A. A near friend is more helpful than a faraway relative.B. Both marriage and friendship demand mitment.C. However far away were, parents worry about us.D. Long distance makes the hearts closer.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）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。The new school year is ing and you have to go back to school.
