42、 last time I cried. I was twelve years old, in the seventh grade, and I had tried out for the junior high school basketball team. I walked into the gym; there was a piece of paper on the wall. It was a cut list. The boys whose names were on the list were welcome to keep on coming to practices. The b

43、oys whose names were not on the list had been cut; their presence (出席 ) was no longer desired. I had not known the cut was coming that day. I stood and stared at the list.
