(10 points) Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Alecka game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, 1 I know a lot of history. So we thought wed be good 2 for the team.A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the 3 . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup (替补). 4 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a 5 among all the students present and the top 6 scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 7 way to decide.Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to 8 the starting line-up（阵容）. Mr. Gaudi acted as the 9 . After a couple of hours, all the 10 on the team were set except one. Carla and I 11 for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition 12 the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the 13 .Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead. 14 I saw the look on Carlas face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted 15 even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla 16 , just by a little bit. Her expression as she 17 she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, Ill still have the 18 of seeing the show up close.Was I 19 by not trying as hard as I could? I dont think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didnt 20 it. It wont hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.1、AbutBorCsoDand2、ApairsBchoicesCleadersDfans3、AcourseBworkCplayDshow4、ALuckilyBUnluckilyCImportantlyDHopefully5、AdirectionBdiscussionCcompetitionDconversation6、AfiveBthreeCtwoDeight7、AspecialBhardCfunnyDfair8、AdecideBdrawCpushDmake9、AheadmasterBcoachChostDheadteacher10、AplacesBrulesCnamesDorders11、AtiedBclappedCcriedDreturned12、AofBonCbetweenDamong13、AbackupBaudienceCcheerleaderDmember14、AStillBNeverCThenDAgain15、AusBitCmeDher16、AwaitBturnCmoveDwin17、AacceptedBrealizedCconsideredDrefused18、AlaughterBsadnessCfunDchange19、AcomingBrefusingChelpingDcheating20、AmeanBplanCregretDsaySection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.
