The save ended the most exciting sporting event you wi

16、ll ever see, secured for Liverpool the top European soccer championship for the first time in 21 years, and allowed me to breathe. Within seconds, my wife had called from London, and the e-mails started to flood in - the first from TIMEs Baghdad bureau, others from Sydney, London, Washington and New

17、 York. In my fumbled excitement, I misdialed my brothers phone number three times. Then Steven Gerrard, Liverpools captain, lifted the trophy, and behind the Cantonese chatter of the TV commentators I could just make out 40,000 Liverpudlian voices singing their clubs anthem, Youll Never Walk Alone.

18、And thats when I started to cry.Apart from the big, obvious things - love, death, children - most of the really walloping emotional highs and lows of my life have involved watching Liverpool. There was the ecstasy of being in the crowd when the club won the European championship in 1978, and the hor

19、ror of settling down in my office for a 1985 European championship game - only to watch Juventus fans get crushed to death when some Liverpool supporters rioted. Through long experience, my family has come to know that their chances of having a vaguely pleasant husband and father on any given Sunday

20、 depend largely on how Liverpool fared the previous day. But what on earth makes this - lets admit it - pretty unsophisticated devotion to the fortunes of men Ive never met and dont really want to so powerful?Fandom - the obsessional identification with a sports team - is universal. The greatest boo

21、k ever on the psychology of being a fan, Nick Hornbys Fever Pitch, was written about a London soccer team but easily translated into a film about the Boston Red Sox. Particularly in the U. S., it seems possible to be a fan of a team thats based far from where you have ever lived, but I suspect the o

22、rigins of my obsession are more common. I didnt have much choice in the matter. Both my parents were born in tiny row houses a stones throw from Liverpools stadium. My father took me to my first game as a small child, and from the moment I saw what was behind the familiar brick walls - all those peo

23、ple ! That wall of noise! The forbidden, dangerous smells of cigarettes and beer! I was hooked.We fans like to describe our passion in religious terms, as if the places our heroes play are secular cathedrals. Its easy to see why. When you truly, deeply love a sports team, you give yourself up to som

24、ething bigger than yourself, not just because your individuality is rendered insignificant in the mass of the crowd, but because being a fan involves faith. No matter what its current form may be, your team is worthy of blind devotion - or will soon redeem itself. Belief is all. As Brooklyn Dodgers

25、fans said in the 1950s: wait til next year.But as you get older, it becomes harder to believe. Yes, the Dodgers won the World Series in 1955; but they arent ever coming back from Los Angeles. Loss of faith can set in. That, however, is when you appreciate the deeper benefits of being a fan. For me,

26、following one soccer team has been the connective tissue of my life. I left Liverpool to go to college and have never had the slightest desire to live there again, but wandering around the world, living in seven different cities in three continents, my passion was the thing that gave me a sense of w

27、hat “home“ meant. Being a fan became a fixed point, wherever I lived; it was - it is - one of the two or three things that I think of as making me, well, me.But fandom does more. than defeat distance and geography. It acts as a time machine. There is only one thing that I have done consistently for

28、nearly 50 years, and that is support Liverpool. To be a fan is a blessing, for it connects you as nothing else can to childhood, and to everything and everyone that marked your life between your time as a child and the present. So when I sat in Hong Kong at dawn last week watching the game on TV, I

29、didnt have to try to manufacture the tiny, inconsequential strands that make up a life. They were there all around me. Tea at my Grandmas after a game; a favorite uncle who died too young; bemused girlfriends who didnt get it (I married the one who did); the 21st birthday cake that my mother iced in

30、 Liverpools colors; my tiny daughters in their first club shirts; the best friends with whom Ive long lost touch. What does being a fan mean? It means youll never walk alone.（分数：5.00）(1).The passage was probably written in _.（分数：1.00）A.1978B.1985C.1999D.2006(2).Which of the following is NOT true abo

34、right time and place can change the course of your lifes history? This is certainly what happened in my life. When I was 14, I was hitchhiking from Houston, Texas, through El Paso on my way to California. I was following my dream, journeying with the sun. I was a high school dropout with learning di

35、sabilities and was set on surfing the biggest waves in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii, where I would later live.Upon reaching downtown El Paso, I met an old man, a bum, on the street comer. He saw me walking, stopped me and questioned me as I passed by. He asked me if I was runnin

36、g away from home, I suppose because I looked so young. I told him, “Not exactly, sir,“ since my father had given me a ride to the freeway in Houston and given me his blessings while saying, “It is important to follow your dream and what is in your heart, son.“The bum then asked me if he could buy me

37、 a cup of coffee. I told him, “No, sir, but a soda would be great.“ We walked to a comer malt shop and sat down on a couple of swiveling stools while we enjoyed our drinks.After conversing for a few minutes, the friendly bum told me to follow him, He told me that he had something grand to show me an

38、d share with me. We walked a couple of blocks until we came upon the downtown El Paso Public Library.We walked up its front steps and stopped at a small information stand. Here the bum spoke to a smiling odl lady, and asked her if she would be kind enough to watch my things for a moment while he and

39、 I entered the library. I left my belongings with this grandmotherly figure and entered into this magnificent hall of learning.The bum first led me to a table and asked me to sit down and wait for a moment while he looked for something special amongst the shelves. A few moments later, he returned wi

40、th a couple of old books under his arms and set them on the table. He then sat down beside me and spoke. He started with a few statements that were very special and that changed my life. He said, “There are two things that I want to teach you, young man, and they are these: “number one is to never j

41、udge a book by its cover, for a cover can fool you.“ He followed with, “I bet you think Im a bum, dont you, young man?“I said, “Well, uh, yes, I guess so, sir.“Well, young man, Ive got a little surprise for you. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. I have probably everything any man could ev

42、er want. I originally come from the Northeast and have all the things that money can buy. But a year ago, my wife passed away, bless her soul, and since then I have been deeply reflecting upon life. I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it woul

43、d be like to live like a bum on the streets. I made a commitment to myself to do exactly that for one year. For the past year, I have been going from city to city doing just that. So, you see, dont ever judge a book by its cover, for a cover can fool you.“Number two is to learn how to read, my boy,

44、for there is only one thing that people cant take away from you, and that is your wisdom.“ At that moment, he reached forward, grabbed my right hand in his and put them upon the books hed pulled from the shelves. They were the writings of Plato and Aristotle - immortal classics from ancient times.Th

45、e bum then led me back past the smiling old woman near the entrance, down the steps and back on the streets near where we first met. His parting request was for me to never forget what he taught me._BTEXT B/BIsnt it amazing how one person, sharing one idea, at the right time and place can change the
