My six-year-old son, Stephen, was in front of the TV and smiled. His favorite show was about to begin---a Phoenix Suns basketball game.
“Ladies and gentlemen," the announcer’s voice was heard, “here is your starting lineup (首发阵容).” The arena (球场) darkened and the lights flashed when the players ran into the court to sing their team song. Stephen clapped and danced around. My wife Lorrie and I laughed. Stephen had been performing this for months. “One day I’m going to take you to a game, son,” I promised.
About a year later, the construction company where I worked finished a project for a Suns player. One afternoon my boss called me. “The player has two extra tickets for tonight’s game! Just pick them up at my office,” he said. I picked up the tickets, but felt a little disappointed when I looked at the clock. Even if I had had a helicopter, we would never have gone to the arena in time for the player introductions. Stephen would miss his favorite part! I grabbed my key, got Stephen in my car and hit the road. “Lord,” I prayed, “I’d love to see the joy on Stephen’s face. Help us make it on time.”
When I drove, it began to rain heavily. Suddenly, lightning flashed right near the arena! I turned on the radio to listen to the game. The announcer said there’d been a power failure at America West Arena. Everyone was fine, but there would be a delay until they got everything running. Finally, I parked the car and we walked in hurriedly to take our seats. I hoped that we hadn’t missed the introductions.
The very moment we entered the arena, the lights darkened. The music started. “Ladies and gentlemen, here’s your starting lineup!” Stephen’s eyes grew wide. There wasn’t enough space for him to dance around, but I could tell that his heart was leaping more than his body was able to. Thank heaven, he hadn’t missed a thing. And neither had I.
1.How did the author get the tickets?
A. His boss bought the tickets from a Suns player for him.
B. He bought the tickets from his boss.
C. His boss gave him the tickets as a reward for his work.
D. A Suns player offered the tickets for their work.
2.Why did the author feel disappointed when he got the tickets?
A. The game had already begun when he picked up the tickets.
B. The arena where the game would take place was too old.
C. It was too late for them to catch the beginning of the game.
D. He had no way to get a helicopter to take his son to the arena.
3.What might cause the delay of the game?
A. The arena was too wet and dirty after the heavy rain.
B. Lightning destroyed something at the arena.
C. The audience did not come to the arena on time.
D. The players came to the arena late because of the heavy rain.
4.What did the author mean by saying “And neither had I”?
A. He kept his promise to his son. B. He didn’t lose his job.
C. He didn’t miss a great match. D. He felt his son’s joy.
