It was a cold winter day that Sunday. The parking lot to the church filled up quickly. I noticed, as I got out of my car, fellow church members     1     (whisper) among themselves as they walked in the church.

As I got closer, I saw a man leaning up against the wall outside the church. He was almost lying down     2     he were asleep. His hat was pulled down so you     3     not see his face. He wore shoes     4     looked 30 years old, too small for his feet, with holes all over them, his toes stuck out.

I guessed this man was homeless and asleep, so I walked on by through the doors of the church. We all talked for a few minutes, and someone mentioned the man     5     (lie) outside. People whispered but no one took trouble     6     (ask) him to come in, including me.

A few minutes later church began. We all waited for the preacher to take his place and to give us the Word, when the doors to the church opened. In came the man walking down the church with his head down. People gasped and whispered and made faces. He made his way down the church and up onto the pulpit (讲坛)     7     he took off his hat and coat. My heart sank.

There     8     (stand) our preacher... he was     9     “homeless man”. The preacher took his Bible and laid it on his stand. “Folks, I don’t think I have to tell you     10     I am preaching today. If you judge people by their appearance, you have no time to love them.”

A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium. At 5:30 pm, two hours before the game time, I walked into the locker room（更衣室）. My thoughts of school, music and what I planned     1     (do) on Saturday night were replaced with the simple aim     2     (beat) the football team across the field from us tonight. Approaching my locker（衣物柜）, I noticed my teammates     3     (make) preparations. Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling as if it were a film of the opposing team’s play. Some seemed a bit more relaxed, using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field,     4     (imagine) what would happen in 120 minutes. At 7:10 pm,     5     (finish) warm-ups, we went over the game plan and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem（国歌）suggested that we were only minutes from the action.     6     (make) a final speech was usually the routine, but tonight was different. On this clear night our coach simply looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even before the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already making our way out of the door. Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager     7     (be) a part of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and held out my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met the Superman. Seconds later, the team ran onto the field,     8     (move) as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy welcome from fans and the fight song       9     (play) by our school band.     10     (move) by the atmosphere 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 realized that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.
