I grew up poor

题文

We had little money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was  36  and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still  37  a dream.My dream was  38 . By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baball, and hit anything that moved on the baball field. I was also  39 : My high school coach Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me how to believe in mylf. He  40  me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念). One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.It was the summer between my junior and nior years, and a friend  41  me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket—cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the  42  of savings for a hou for my mother. The prospect of a summer job was attractive and interesting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to  43  summer baball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing.When I told Coach Jarvis, he was  44  as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work，” he said. “Your  45  days are limited.

I delicated mylf to sports that summer and with the year I was hired by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baball, and was  47  a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1998 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the hou of my dreams.小题1:.A．happyB．politeC．shyD．honest小题2:A．liveB．affordC．makeD．need小题3:A．athleticsB．musicC．businessD．money小题4:A．rightB．popularC．luckyD．confident小题5:A．persuadedB．taughtC．broughtD．asked小题6:A．ntB．advidC．gaveD．recommended小题7:A．aimB．ideaC．startD．purpo小题8:A．give inB．give upC．give awayD．give off小题9:A．disappointedB．madC．frightenedD．shameful小题10:A．livingB．playingC．workingD．learning小题11:A．sadnessB．regretC．hopelessnessD．disappointment小题12:A．paidB．gotC．offeredD．prented 题型：未知难度：其他题型
