  There are certain songs that never seem to grow old for me despite(尽管)my having listened to them for years.Mat Kearney's Girl America is such a song.It appeared on the American artist's major-label debut(首张唱片), Nothing Left to Lose, in 2006.

  What sets many of Kearney's songs apart are their unique combination of guitar and the spoken words.In Girl America, for example, he tells the story of a young woman who is struggling to make sense of her life.Actually, the girl's story resembles Kearney's own.

  “I guess I lived it up and did what everyone said you should do in college,”he told the magazine Christianity Today after releasing(发行)his first album(专辑).“I discovered…the bleakness(暗淡)of that lifestyle.It just wasn't working.I finally started understanding there must be more to life.”

  This song describes such a turning point in the life of“Girl America”-an expression that simply means“an ordinary American girl”.

Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates  3 . Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling  4  it were a film of the opposing team’s play. Some seemed a bit more  5 , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field,  6  what will happen in 120 minutes.

Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how  7  this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams—my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (冲动) it needed to  8 .

At 7:10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over the game  9  and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem (庄严正式的歌曲) 10  that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final  11 . But tonight was different. On this clear night he  12 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even  13  the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already  14 our way out of the door.

Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a  15 of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and  16 my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.

Seconds later, the team ran onto the  17 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy  18  from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the  19  of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and  20 that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.
