Question

【題目】 Clay Warner is wearing his basketball clothes, waiting in the chair for his chance to play—but until last week, nobody asked him to play. Although the 18- year-old students does well in playing basketball, his coach wouldn’t like to bring Clay into play. He is afraid that Clay would get hurt.

This is because it’s kind of difficult for Clay to see things—even when he wears glasses. His mother says that he was born with cerebral palsy(腦癱). Although he tries his best to look at the basketball hoop by focusing on the right corner of his glasses, it is not easy for him to do it well.

On the high school’s Senior Night last week, Clay’s coach finally called him to play during the final minute of the game. With the watchers already standing to give him a warm welcome, Clay got into position as the crowd cheered him up.

“I want to get him in. It was Senior Night,” the head coach told reporters. “If there is an opportunity for him, I wanted to take advantage of it. All the player were for it, too.”

Once the game was back in play, one of Clay’s teammates passed him the ball. Though he had been practising shooting hoops since he was in the third grade, this was the first time he had ever taken a shot on his high school basketball team.

As the watchers waited, Clay took the shot and dropped the ball clean through the net, hardly touching the rim(邊框)—and the watchers shouted in wild cheers.

“This whole gym was calling my name,” Clay told the news reporters. “The whole crowd was jumping . They were going crazy. It was like I were a little kid again.”
