Ⅰ.阅读理解AThere is such a thing as winning by too much.A final score of 161－2 recently earned one winning coach of a Californian high school girls’ basketball team a two－game suspension (停赛) for unsportsman－like behavior.“The game just got away from me.I didn’t expect them to be that bad.I’m not trying to embarrass anybody，” Arroyo Valley Coach Michael Anderson told the San Bernardino Sun about the blowout against Bloomington.In the second half, he played substitutes instead of starters, who played when the game began.Hmm.Calling your competitor “bad” probably isn’t helping the cause.Coaches from other local high schools have spoken against Anderson’s tactics (战术) as well.Throughout the entire first half of the game, Anderson used a full－court press, a method of playing basketball in which one team puts pressure on the other team in all parts of the court, and eventually his team won by 103 points.Bloomington only scored 1 point.“Let them score，” Cajon Coach Mark Lehman, who led his team to victory too, said.“I don’t think anyone would’ve had a problem if it was 161－50.But 161－2？...Why not put up defense？”Bloomington dealt with the loss as well as they could.“People shouldn’t feel sorry for my team” Coach Dale Chung said after the game.“They should fee l sorry for his team, which isn’t learning the game the right way.”He said he was proud of his team, because the game would hardly affect them.However, he added, “But it should affect them a little.”The suspension doesn’t seem to have changed the team’s tactics much.After the 159－point win, Arroyo played against Indian Springs and won by 61 points.“They responded as they usually do，”Arroyo’s assistant coach Nick Anderson,19, told the San Bernardino Sun of the 80－19 win.He was filling in for his dad, who was suspended.He said, “It’s nothing different.We just have a different coach.We’re still going to run our game plan, like we always do.”【语篇解读】本文是议论文。

]BYesterday my older neighbor, who takes care of part of our garden with great difficulty and efforts, was in deep shock.Obviously, my cats had left droppings (粪便) in his perfect flower beds.Fortunately, my husband and I weren’t at home when this happened, so he vented (发泄) his anger on my friend and neighbor, Katherine.She was kind enough to listen to him and to go down into the garden with him to have a look.She even took a picture!When I got home, she had left a message on my answering machine about the incident.Having heard it was about my cats again, my stomach st year, he got so upset that he threatened (威胁) to put rat traps on the roof, hoping that would warn me to keep my cats indoors.So I was a little worried.However, I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard Katherine tell me what the whole incident was all about.I understand gardening is important to my neighbor and that he keeps his garden perfect to comfort his soul.So when I saw him in the garden days later, I went over to talk to him.And the talk turned out to be quite nice.I was really surprised to find that I had the wisdom not to respond to his comments on my cats.Instead, I had conversations with him about the beautiful flowers he had planted, the color combinations, and the care he took in creating such a sense of order.I tried to convey my understanding and appreciation without arguing or talking down to him.I was really amazed how that talk turned out.We haven’t had a conversation like that for over a year!【语篇解读】本文讲述的是发生在邻里之间的小插曲。
