Question

【題目】Rick is a student at an expensive private university. He is lucky because he has a wonderful offer from the university’s sports department. He can study for free because he is a great basketball player, and the team needs him.

But Rick likes going to parties more than studying. He goes out with his friends four or five times a week. Rick misses a lot of classes because he usually doesn’t feel well in the morning after partying all night. He tries to do his best at basketball practice, but he feels sick there sometimes, too.

Rick gets some teammates to go out with him on a Wednesday night. They are all having lots of fun very late that night and drinking a lot. They decide to play basketball outside. As they play, one teammate falls and breaks his arm. They have to take him to the hospital, and they are all very upset.

Naturally, Rick’s coach is very angry. “I spoke to your teachers,” his coach says. “You miss lots of classes and your grades are very bad. And if you do not improve your grades, you will have to leave the team and the university. You have some thinking to do.”

Rick is shocked at his coach’s words. He does not want to leave the team! He thinks about his parents and his grandparents. They are so proud of him, and his little brother told Rick he was his hero. Rick knows that he can do much better.

Rick wants to show his family and his team that he is responsible. And most of all, his dream is to play basketball at a big university! He will not throw it away by partying and drinking too much.

From now on, Rick decides to be temperate (節(jié)制的) and enjoy what he loves most.
