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...
Why do you think the author acted so strongly about the cut?
选项
A、It forced him to change the team.
B、It listed his name at the bottom.
C、It was open to the public.
D、It hurt his pride.
答案
D
解析
推理题。题干意为“你觉得作者对于遭到淘汰的反应如此强烈的原因是什么?”根据第四段第二、三、四句可知,这是作者生命中第一次被正式告知自己不够好。而且对于那个年龄的男孩来说,运动意味着一切。如果你在队里,你就是有价值的;如果你不在队里,那还不如死去。由此可以推测,作者对自己是否能留在球队这件事很在意,之所以对被淘汰的反应如此强烈是因为这件事伤害了他的自尊。故D为正确答案。
