When I was thirteen, my only dream was to become the star on our football team. But that depended on if I could beat out Miller King, who was the best 1 at our school.
Football season 2 in September. However, during the whole summer holiday, I carried my football everywhere for 3 . But just before September, Miller was hit by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very 4 but he didn’t cry.
That season, I tried my best to play football well. And I made it. I 5 all of Miller’s records while he 6 the games on TV at home. We went 10:1 and I was named the most valuable player. 7 I often had bad dreams in which I was to blame（归咎） for Miller’s 8 .
One afternoon, when I was crossing the field to go home, I saw Miller failing going over a fence（篱笆） which wasn’t 9 to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept 10 from. But even that challenge, he accepted it naturally. I helped him move 11 over the fence. When we were finally 12 on the other side, he said, “You know I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did fine. Thank you for filling in for me.”
His words freed me from my bad dreams. I 13 myself, “He was more of a leader even 14 an arm.” Damaged but not defeated（打败）, he was 15 ahead of me. I was right to have admired him. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.

二、阅读理解（16分）（2018·杭州市江干区模拟）
Where is the world’s happiest place? The answer is Denmark, according to the 2016 World Happiness Report.
Denmark is neither the richest nor the biggest country. So, what makes its 5.7 million people so happy?
The country is famous for its welfare system（福利体系）, which includes health care and education. But besides that, the main reason Danish people are so happy lies in their lifestyle.

Have you heard of the word “hygge”? In English, it can be translated into comfort. But hygge is more than that—having a tasty meal with family, talking with friends under the sunshine on weekends, enjoying music, or having a movie night. All these things can be called hygge, which is Danish people’s everyday life.
Danish people also have a healthy habit—riding bikes. In Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, bikes are used about 50 percent of the time on the way to school or work. Biking is not only helpful to protect the environment, but it is also good for people’s health. Just 30 minutes of biking every day adds about one to two years to a person’s lifetime.
Trust is also important for Danish people. They trust others and people they don’t even know. In Aarhus, the second biggest city in Denmark, you can see people buy flowers even when the owner isn’t there. People just put money in the empty flowerpot. Trust helps make people happy.
“The Danish have no great expectations about what they will do or what will happen to them,” Kaire Christensen, a university teacher, said. “They are happy with what they have.”
（ ）1. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Good education. B. Health care.
C. Welfare system. D. Small population.
（ ）2. Which of the following can be a “hygge” style?
A. Working hard on weekends.
B. Enjoying music with friends.
C. Staying up late studying.
D. Spending a lot of time on business meals.

（ ）3. Besides hygge, what else helps Danish people feel happy?
A. They have high expectations about the future.
B. There is a nice environment without pollution.
C. People trust each other, including the strangers.
D. It is a must to ride bikes to work or school every day.
（ ）4. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The welfare system in Denmark.
B. The happy lifestyle in Denmark.
C. The happiest place in Denmark.
D. The expectations in Denmark.

so it’s impossible for them to have time to read. What’s worse, they consider it useless to read.
But I have the opposite opinion. Reading is important in the whole life for people. Firstly, reading opens up our eyes to the outside world and increases our knowledge. Secondly, reading is surely a good way to improve reading and writing skills.
So I plan to continue reading whenever I’m free. Also, I’ll call on my friends to start reading to find and enjoy the great magic of reading.
