One afternoon， I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early， so I stopped my car by a small park， and 1 for her.

As I looked outside the car window， I saw a little boy， around two years old， running 2 on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been 3 free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass， get up， without looking back at his mother， run as 4 as he could， again， still with a smile on his face， as if nothing had happened.

At that moment， I thought to myself， “Why arent most adults this way？” Most adults， when they fall down， make a big deal out of it and dont even 5 a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or， because they fall， they would find a good 6 for themselves that theyre not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure.

However， for kids， when they fall down， they dont consider their falling down as a failure， instead， they treat it as a 7 experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connect “falling down” with the word “failure”. As a 8 ， they are not discouraged （氣餒的） in any way. Besides， they 9 think to themselves that its quite okay to fall down and that its not wrong to do so. In other words， they allow themselves to make 10 ， so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boys persistence and the manner in which he did.

Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch （桿） in the middle of the store， so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.

One day a man went into the store. “Thats a beautiful bird，” he said to the pet store owner. “But why is it so expensive？ Is it an unusual bird？”

“No， its not very unusual. Its expensive because it can talk，” the pet store owner said.

“I see. How can I make it talk？” the man asked.

“Yes，” the man answered.

Its not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero. I didnt really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.

If you saw her， you wouldnt 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， but didnt notice anything special at first. 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 isnt the tallest or the fastest， in fact， this was her first time playing volleyball， but that didnt stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyones heart. When the name list of 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 skill. 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. We all like her， because she never thinks about doing things in an easy way， or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts， she makes herself a true hero， and my hero， too.

（ ）21. What did the writer think of Sandra at the beginning？

A. Strong. B. Honest. C. Pretty. D. Common.

（ ）22. The writer is probably ________.

A. a news reporter B. a college student

C. a college teacher D. a basketball player

（ ）23. What does the underlined word “tryouts” mean in Chinese？

A. 選拔 B. 嘗試 C. 訓練 D. 報名

（ ）24. Which of the following is true about Sandra？

A. She comes from America. B. She isnt the tallest but the fastest.

C. She does things in an easy way. D. She is popular with her teammates.

（ ）25. Why does the writer think of Sandra as a true hero？

A. Because she did very well at the tryouts.

B. Because she took part in the city games.

C. Because she worked hard and never gave up.

D. Because she asked for help from teammates.
