Saturday
arrived
，
and the game was not
going well. In the third
quarter
，
when the team was
ten points
1
，
a
silent young man quietly slipped into the
2
locker room and put on his
football clothing.
“Coach
，
please let me
3
.I’ve just g
ot to play
today
，
” said the young man.
The
coach
pretended
not
to
4
him.
There
was
no
way
he
wanted
his
worst
player
in
this
close
play-
off
5
.But the young
man persisted
，
and finally
feeling sorry for the
kid
，
the coach
6
.“All right
，
” he
said.
“You can go in.”
Before long
，
the
coach
，
the players and
7
in the
stands
could not believe their eyes. This little
unknown
，
8
had never played
before
，
was
doing
everything right. The opposing team could not
9
him. He
ran
，
he
passed
，
blocked and
tackled like a star. His team began to
win.
The score was soon tied. In the
closing seconds of the
game
，
the kid
intercepted(
截取
) a pass
and
10
all
the
way
for
the
winning
touchdown.
The
fans
broke
loose.
His
11
raised
him onto their
shoulders. Such cheerin
g you’ve
12
heard!
Finally
，
after
the
stands
had
emptied
13
the
team
had
showered
and
left
the
locker
room
，
the
coach
noticed
that
the
young
man
was
14
quietly
in
the
corner
all
alone.
The
coach came to him and sa
id
，
“Kid
，
I
15
believe it. You
were fantastic
！
Tell me what
got into
you
？
16
did you do it
？
”
He looked at the coach
，
with
17
in his
eyes
，
and said
，
“Well
，
my dad died
today
，
but did you know that
my dad was
18
？
” The young man
swallowed
hard and forced a
smile
，
“Dad came to all my
ga
mes
，
but today
was the first
19
he could see
me
play
，
and I wanted to

Tail Spin
Two dolphins race around in
a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin,
Grace, shows
off a few of her tricks,
turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The
most amazing thing about
her, however,
is that she's even swimming at all. She doesn't
have a tail.
Grace lost her tail as a
baby when she got caught up in a fish the dolphin
arrived at
the Ocean Park in December
2005, she was fighting for her life.
“
Is she going to make
it
？”
Her
trainer,
Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make
it
—
but her tail didn't. She
ended up losing
her flukes and the
lower part of her peduncle.
Over the
past six years, she has learned to swim without
her tail. Dolphins swim by moving
their
flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught
herself to move another
way
—
like a fish! She
pushes herself forward through the
water by moving her peduncle from side to side.
The movements put harmful pressure on
Grace's backbone. So a company offered to create a
man
－
made tail for
her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on
Grace as she swam but soft
enough that
it wouldn't hurt her.
The first time
Grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it
off and let it sink to the bottom of
the pool. Now, she is still learning to
use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour
at a time, others
not at all.
“
The new tail isn't
necessary for her to feel
comfortable
，”
says Stone,
“
but it helps to
keep that range of
motion(
动作
) and build muscles
(
肌肉
)
．”
Now, the dolphin is about to get an
even happier ending. This month, Grace will star
in Dolphin
Tale, a film that focuses on
her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired
more than just a new
movie. Many people
travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace
swim with her man
－
made
tail gives people so much courage.

．

first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer
worried about her
________.
A.
physical build
B. potential ability
C.
chance of survival
D. adaptation to the surroundings

man
－
made tail is created for
Grace to
________
．
A. let her recover faster
B. make her comfortable
C. adjust her way of swimming
D. help her
perform better tricks

．

Grace inspires people to

B. treat animals friendly
C.
treasure what they have
