  Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother, we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no umbrella (伞). We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He had forgotten his wallet, he said, and needed taxi-fare(出租汽车费) to go back home. My mother didn't believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But she finally believed the man and gave him the pound. She was happy to have a good umbrella for so little. But the old man didn't get into a taxi. We walked after him and found he went into a pub(小酒店) and bought himself a glass of whiskey(威士忌) with the pound. After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many wet umbrellas there and went off with the new one. Soon after that, he sold it again.

True or False

1.The old man sold an umbrella to the writer and her mother.

  I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago. I’m the mid-field player on my team. But in fact that’s not  1  now. I was the mid-field player because, as I said, this was my 2  game. That’s a good way to end a high school football career (生涯), especially if you win, but even though you don’t, it’s  3  to leave at a high point.

  I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad  4  football, and he used to practise with me at home – passing, catching, running. We used to practise almost every evening 5  it got too dark. He tried to teach me everything he knew about the 6 . “Just remember: don’t ever 7 .” “Stay in the game. Don’t lose your concentration (专注).” “Go out there and give 110 percent every time.” Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words  8  in my ears.

  I had a lot on my mind  9  the game today. I don’t like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn’t sleep at all  10 , and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where  11  just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But then when the game started, my mind became  12 . I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn’t hear the crowd, I didn’t feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the 13 , and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light 14  me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty feeling.

  It’s all over now, and it’s really getting cold here. It’s starting to snow. The sun’s almost gone, and I can  15  see the goal. Now it’s dark and I’m sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it’s time to say good-bye and move on.
