All the World Asks
On my first day in a college classroom, I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization after having been lost in the forest for thirty years. There I sat,  21  enough to be a father to most of the students in the room,   22   unconfident enough to be their baby brother. We were crowded elbow (肘部) to elbow, listening to a  23  who looked even younger than the students. I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully    24  what she expected us to learn. As I listened, I couldn't help but  25  of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in    26  , just like me.

When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious    28   about my ability to make it   29  college. Not until late that night did my thinking   30    .It was a long-distance  31   from my daughter, my fellow college freshman, that did the trick. She spoke on the phone about the doubts, worries and anxieties she was   32 . She was certain that she'd never   33  at college. How   34   her worries sounded! In my most confident parental   35  , I said, “Doing your best is all the world   36  .” The next day in class, those words still repeated in my head. When the professor raised a   37   for the class, nobody, including me,    38  to answer. When I looked around al the   39   and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew   40  what I had to do: my best. That's all the world asks. So I raised my hand, and the professor called my name. I spoke.

根据短文内容，从下框的A – F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。

A. Closing Ceremony

B. Spirit of Olympic Games

C. The Olympic Torch

D. Events of sports

E. Women participants

F. Opening Ceremony

1.                 

The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world. Every four years, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6, 000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose. This is in spirit of the Olympics – to take part is what matters.

2.                      

The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held – the host country – marches in last.

3.              

The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.

4.                      

The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport – riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.

5.                      

More and more women are taking part in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women’s swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men.

—How long is it ______ you picked up your badminton training?

—It was not until my finance became better last December _____ I started the training.

A．before; when                          B．until; that

C．that; when                            D．since; that
