My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
   When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
   I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有團隊精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
   He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
【小題1】 Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?

A.He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B.He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C.He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D.He wants to use the words to test a person.
【小題2】Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A.To see whether he was confident.
B.To see whether he was good at sports.
C.To see whether he was selfish or not.
D.To see whether he could get along with others.
【小題3】During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A.played best all the timeB.was strong enough to play
C.was not confidentD.wanted to be the team leader
【小題4】 The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A.please (使?jié)M意)B.know aboutC.helpD.look for

At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a boy on the same day. Partly because my parents  46 a shop selling flowers, the room was soon  47  with the lovely scent of roses.
   As the seventh floral arrangement was   48  , I was beginning to feel  49 , for no flowers had arrived for my roommate, Ann. She sat on the edge of her bed and leaned forward to admire the  50  bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much  51 , too much sadness for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’  52  .
  “I’m enjoying every  53 of this”, she said as though she had read my   54  and was trying to reassure me. “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a   55 ?”
   I still felt uncomfortable, however.  56   there were some magic button I could push to  57   the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least,I can see that she has some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send  58 some.
  The flowers arrived just   59  Ann and I were finishing supper.
  “More flowers for you,” she said,   60  .
  “No, not this time,” I said, looking at the     61   “These are for you.”
  Ann stared at the blossoms a long time, not saying anything. She ran her 62  across the pale blue bouquets and  63 touched each of the sweet roses as though trying to engrave(刻畫) them on her 64 .
  “How can I ever thank you” she said softly.
I was almost embarrassed. It was such a little    65  on my part.
