5 . Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.

One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men.” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win, or we will die.”

9 . The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team — all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking learn rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness.

While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some.

Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed (恢复) and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players — Iwo junior students and three senior students — agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision.

“We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community, one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing." The five left the floor to deafening applause.

The team may not win another game this year. But they've learned something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life.

1. It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were probably ________.

A．good players on the team

B．three junior students and two senior students

C．addicted to alcohol and drugs

D．scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol

2. What did the girls do to support their coach's decision?

A．They didn't fight for Danville High School any more.

B．They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium.

C．They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life.

D．They all gave speeches to apologize in the local newspaper.

3. Which word best describes the coach Rainville?

A．Energetic.	B．Strict.
C．Content.	D．Cruel.

4. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．Growing Up with Pain	B．A Bad Mistake in Training
C．The Coach Who Values Rules Most	D．Basketball Girls in High School

Last week, I watched a movie, naming A Dog’s Way Home from Sony Pictures, what mainly tells about dogs at animal shelters.
