Paul and I were on our school basketball team, the Lions. After we joined the team, we became good friends soon. We were both huge basketball fans. Paul’s favourite player was Richard. He was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in his team. Paul was only 1.6 metres tall too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of practising on his own, he took Richard as his example.
Paul once said, “If Richard could make it, why can’t I?”
Our coach ignored(忽视) Paul because of his height. So Paul was still usually a replacement(替补). It was really painful for him. Everyone knew Paul was someone who worked really hard and had a strong wish to play for the team. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
This week, the Lions was playing against the Bears, a team whose record had been perfect this season. Suddenly, a player and I knocked into each other. My knees hurt badly. The team got together, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points.
“I don’t think I can play any more, Coach,” I said quietly as the doctor checked my knees.
“What about Paul?” someone suggested.
“Paul?” said the coach. “He can’t play!”
“Give him a chance, Coach!” I said.
“Let me try, Coach! I won’t let you down!” Paul said.
“OK!” The coach finally agreed. “Don’t let us down, Paul. It’s your time to shine.”
Paul jumped up and rushed into the court(球场). And clearly, all the hours he spent practising alone paid off. The other team just couldn’t keep up with Paul’s energy and speed. He made it and people couldn’t stop cheering for him.
When the game ended, our team won by two points.
The coach patted Paul’s shoulder and said, “You’ve just earned(赢得) your place on the team, big boy.”

### 二、阅读理解
保罗和我都在我们学校的篮球队“狮子队”里。我们加入球队后，很快就成了好朋友。我们都是超级篮球迷。保罗最喜欢的球员是理查德。理查德只有1.6米高，这使他成为他所在球队有史以来最矮的球员。保罗也只有1.6米高！保罗知道，比其他球员矮意味着他必须更加努力地练习。在所有那些独自练习的时间里，他都以理查德为榜样。
保罗曾经说过：“如果理查德能做到，我为什么不能呢？”
我们的教练因为保罗的身高而忽视他。所以保罗通常仍然是一名替补球员。这对他来说真的很痛苦。每个人都知道保罗是一个非常努力且非常渴望为球队打球的人。然而，保罗没有得到机会。
这周，“狮子队”要和“熊队”比赛，“熊队”本赛季的战绩一直很完美。突然，我和一名球员撞到了一起。我的膝盖疼得很厉害。球队的队员们聚在一起，看起来很担心。最后一节比赛就要开始了，而我们队还落后10分。
“我觉得我不能再打球了，教练。”当医生检查我的膝盖时，我轻声说道。
“保罗怎么样？”有人建议道。
“保罗？”教练说，“他不能打球！”
“给他一个机会吧，教练！”我说。
“让我试试吧，教练！我不会让您失望的！”保罗说。
“好吧！”教练最终同意了，“别让我们失望，保罗。这是你大放异彩的时候了。”
保罗跳起来，冲进了球场。很明显，他独自练习的所有时间都得到了回报。另一支球队根本跟不上保罗的活力和速度。他成功了，人们不停地为他欢呼。
当比赛结束时，我们队以两分的优势获胜。
教练拍了拍保罗的肩膀说：“大男孩，你刚刚在球队里赢得了你的位置。”
1. 理查德是谁？
A. 一名篮球迷。
B. 一名篮球运动员。
C. 一名教练。
D. 一名足球运动员。
2. 教练为什么忽视保罗？
A. 因为保罗不努力。
B. 因为保罗没有得到机会。
C. 因为保罗仍然是一名替补。
D. 因为保罗比球队的其他球员矮。
3. 根据文章，正确的顺序是什么？

A. c - b - a - d - e
B. c - b - e - a - d

4. 以下哪一项最能描述保罗？

5. 我们能从这篇文章中学到什么？
