A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium．

At 5: 30 pm, two hours before game time, I walked into the locker room．My   1   of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were   2   with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight．

Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates   3  ．Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling   4   it were a film of the opposing teams play．Some seemed a bit more   5  , using the time to tell jokes．A few stared at the field,   6   what would happen in 120 minutes．

Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock．He told the team how   7   this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams—my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School．His words gave the team impulse（沖動(dòng)）it needed to   8  ．

At 7: 10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over the game   9  and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours．The sound of the national anthem （國歌）   10  that we were only minutes from the action．Our coach usually made a final   11  ．But tonight was different．On this clear night he    12   looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them．” Even   13  the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already  14   our way out of the door．

Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a   15    of our school’s winning tradition．When I smiled and   16   my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman．

Seconds later, the team ran onto the   17  , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium．We enjoyed a noisy   18   from fans and the fight song played by our school band．Breathing in the    19    of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win．I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and   20   that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football．

閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從題中所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A，B，C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　Fifteen minutes to kick - off. The streets around the stadium are empty for policemen standing on corners, watching for trouble. The fans are all inside. A police helicopter passes low overhead.

　　My friend is a Wolveshampton Wanderers fan. I support the home team, Brighton. It is my local team. But there is no neutral place to standwe must watch the match among my people or his. “Let's go in with the Wolves,” I say, conceding he is my guest, “Thanks,” he says. “I appreciate it.”

　　By standing together, though, we are breaking the rules. All the entrances to the stadium are marked either “Home Supporters Only” or “Away Supporters Only”. Each entrance is guarded by a small group of policemen. We walk along the side of the stadium, looking for a viable turnstile. The police question us as we walk past. “You're Wolves, are you?” they say. “Right. Along there,” I nod, having to lie.

　　Now we are inside the Wolveshampton enclosure, penned into a section of the stadium by thick wire fences.

　　It is impossible for me to show any sign that I support my own team. In fact, to pass muster (過得去) I must demonstrate the opposite. When a cheer starts, I must join in, punching the air. When a refereeing decision, even a fair one, goes against Wolveshampton, I must appear angry.

　　Halfway through the second half, Wolves take the lead. A good move wrongfoots the defence, leaving Andy Mutch with an open shot at goal. He scores. My heart sinks; my team are down. The men I am jammed against leap into the air, screaming as loudly as they can, punching the air, turning and pushing each other. I must follow them. I scream and shout. Someone has his arm around me; someone else is shaking his fist in my faces. his mouth half open, crying.
