Super Bowl Weekend has just ended, and I was ...

Super Bowl Weekend has just ended, and I was very excited for the big game. But I’m not just a fan of the game: I’m a 13-year-old and offensive guard. I just finished playing my eighth and final season.

During the last two years, they’ve created Title IX regulations that forbid girls from playing contact sports due to safely and “touching” concerns. They claim to be acting in the best interests of young people.

During the 2015 season, the Archdiocese(大主教辖区) announced that it would be my last season because of a rule that girls were not permitted to play football in the league. Right away, I knew I needed to change this rule for not just myself, but for all girls.

So I started a change.org petition(请愿书) that received more than 108,000 signatures!I told my story on national news networks and shows. And in March 2016, the Archbishop changed the rule to make CYO football coed(男女混合的) in Philadelphia.

But in July 2016, the bishops(主教) changed their decision and made football once again for boys only. They let me in for my eighth-grade season, but shut down the opportunity of any other girl to play. I could have walked away, but I knew that I had to stay and fight this rule again for girls who want to play football. I started another petition. No girl should be banned from a game she loves.

I hope that you join me in my effort to call on the bishops of Pennsylvania to permit young people like me to learn and grow together, not separately. You can sign my petition at change.org/girl in football.

1.Why did the author decide to start the first change.org petition?

A. Because she finished her final season.

B. Because she watched Super Bowl Weekend.

C. Because she was banned from the league in 2016.

D. Because she learned a lot about Title IX regulations.

2.What can we learn about the author?

A. She is smart.　　 B. She is selfless.

C. She is generous.　　 D. She is offensive.

3.What is the real purpose of writing the text?

A. To complain the policy is unfair.

B. To express her passion for football.

C. To introduce her change.org petition.

D. To appeal to people to join her in the fight.

4.Where can others sign their names?

A. On the website.　　 B. In the league.

C. On the papers.　　 D. In the letters.

It was a Saturday morning, a day I believed would end in victory. For weeks, I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds, sponsored(赞助) by our local riding club. My horse, Tonka, and I could run faster than any kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.

My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(马车).

Although we never discussed it, my father’s struggle with alcoholism had become the silent center of our family life. My mother was paralyzed with fear and indecision. Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn’t possibly support four children. No one talked about alcoholism in those days, and it was my family secret.

We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed toward the fairgrounds, picking up speed once we hit the main road. It wasn’t until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control. The dream of my riding winner disappeared. Tonka lay on the floor, completely still. No words were possible. I knew he was dead.

Suddenly a man appeared. “Are you all right?” he asked. “Yes.” I answered, although I knew that nothing was all right. “Sit here on the grass,” he said. He bent down to look into the trailer. Tonka remained still. He touched Tonka and then turned to face me. ‘‘He is going to be OK. He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rubbed Tonka’s cheeks and gently pulling his ears. Tonka rose to his feet.

Our father was talking to a police officer. He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me. I looked back; the man was gone.

I never forgot him. He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.

1.The writer went to the fairgrounds because he wanted to ___________.

A. take part in a horse racing　　 B. buy Mum a blue ribbon

C. join the local riding club　　 D. train his horse there

2.We can learn from the third paragraph that ___________.

A. the family kept silent at home　　 B. the family lived a secret life

C. Father was addicted to alcohol　　 D. Mum was physically disabled

3.What does “he’’ in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. Father.　　 B. The stranger.

C. The horse.　　 D. The winner.

4.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

A. Once formed, bad habits are difficult to break.

B. Unexpected kindness is a light that shines in the darkness.

C. However mean your life is, meet it and live it.

D. Family is a place of encouragement, a safe harbor in the storms.
