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. The list had not been made with a great deal of consideration; the names of the very best players were at the top, and the other
44、 members of the team were listed in what appeared to be a descending (下降 ) order of basketball skills. I kept looking at the bottom of the list, hoping against hope that my name would appear if I looked hard enough. I held myself together as I walked out, but when I got home I began to cry. For the
45、first time in my life, I had been told officially that I wasnt good enough. Sports meant everything to boys that age; if you were on the team, it put you in the desirable group. If you were not, you might as well not be alive. All these years later, I remember it as if I were still standing right th
46、ere in the gym. I dont know how the mind works in matters like this; I dont know what went on in my head following that day of cut. But 1 know that my determination has been so strong ever since then; I know that for all of my life since that day. I have done more work than I had to be doing, put in
47、 more hours than I had to be spending. I dont know if all of that came from a determination never to allow my-self to be cut againnever to allow someone to tell me that Im not good enough againbut I know its there. And clearly its there in a lot of other successful men too. 68 From the text we learn
48、 that the cut list had names of pupils_. （ A） who were still in the team （ B） who were the old players （ C） who were hard-working （ D） who were too young to play 69 Why do you think the author acted so strongly about the cut? （ A） It forced him to change the team. （ B） It listed his name at the bott
49、om. （ C） It was open to the public. （ D） It hurt his pride. 70 We may infer from the text that the author_. （ A） has learned to play basketball very well （ B） has made friends with many other men （ C） has never learned the truth of the cut （ D） has become quite successful in life 71 The underlined word“ it“ in the last paragraph refers to_. （ A） th
