Question

11．For most seventh graders，life doesn't get much harder than a history test．But for Grant Reed of Bellville，Ohio，it's his own current events that are so painful．"Honestly，I don't want to die，"Grant says．Last year，doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus found a tumor（肿瘤）in Grant's brain．They cut it out，but the surgery left him with stroke-like symptoms．Plus，he had to go through months of radiation and chemotherapy to try to stop the spread of the disease．
    Yet，through it all，Grant has shown remarkable determination，which he owes，partly，to Ohio State football．His parents，Troy and Denise，were both in the OSU marching band and fell in love during halftime of the Michigan game．His cat is named   after the team Buckeye．His wardrobe is painted scarlet（the color of the team's sportswear）．The point is，almost nothing mattered more to Grant than Ohio State  football-until he got sick，of course．
‘‘I didn't like the word cancer，"Grant says．So he decided not to use the word．Instead，the kid named his cancer Michigan and insisted everyone in his life refer to it as such，because Ohio State always beats Michigan．That was something he could understand and make it into a competition．He was going to beat this disease．
    It's now been more than a year since Grant issued that announcement．"And if you
look at his scans，"Dr．Randal Olshefski at Nationwide Children's says，"There's nothing there．There's a big space，but there's no tumor．''
"Grant is beating Michigan．And although much of it has to go to science，don't discount the semantics（语义学）．You have to do something to make it a disease you can fight．And for Grant，that was naming it Michigan．"his parents say．
