I remember clearly the last time I cried. I was twelve years old, in the seventh grade, and I had tried out for the junior high school basketball team. I walked into the gym; there was a piece of paper on the wall.
It was a cut list. The boys whose names were on the list were welcome to keep on coming to practices. The boys whose names were not on the list had been cut; their presence (出席) was no longer desired.
I had not known the cut was coming that day. I stood and stared at the list. The list had not been made with a great deal of consideration; the names of the very best players were at the top, and the other members of the team were listed in what appeared to be a descending (下降) order of basketball skills. I kept looking at the bottom of the list, hoping against hope that my name would appear if I looked hard enough.
I held myself together as I walked out, but when I got home I began to cry. For the first time in my life, I had been told officially that I wasn’t good enough. Sports meant everything to boys that age; if you were on the team, it put you in the desirable group. If you were not, you might as well not be alive.
All these years later, I remember it as if I were still standing right there in the gym. I don’t know how the mind works in matters like this; I don’t know what went on in my head following that day of cut. But 1 know that my determination has been so strong ever since then; I know that for all of my life since that day. I have done more work than I had to be doing, put in more hours than I had to be spending. I don’t know if all of that came from a determination never to allow my-self to be cut again—never to allow someone to tell me that I’m not good enough again—but I know it’s there. And clearly it’s there in a lot of other successful men too...
From the text we learn that the cut list had names of pupils______.
选项
A、who were still in the team
B、who were the old players
C、who were hard-working
D、who were too young to play
答案
A
解析
细节题。题干意为“从文章中我们可以得知名字在淘汰名单上的学生——。”根据第二段第二句“The boys whose names were on the list were welcome to keep on coming to practices.”可知,名字在名单上的男孩能继续来参加训练。这就意味着名单上有名字的学生仍会留在队里。故A为正确答案。
