Mark was walking home from school one day when he saw the boy in front of him fall down and drop all the books he was carrying,along with two sweaters,a basketball and a walkman. Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up the things. Since they were going the same way,Mark helped to carry some of the things. As they walked,Mark knew that the boy's name was Bill,and he loved computer games,basketball and history. He was having lots of troubles with his lessons,and he had just broken up with his girlfriend.

They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was served with some coke and was invited to watch television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk,then Mark went home. They often saw each other at school from then on,had lunch together once or twice ? and then they both finished middle school. They entered the same high school where they sometimes met and talked with each other over the years. At last,just three weeks before they finished high school,Bill asked Mark to have a long talk together.

Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they first met. "Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see,I emptied my locker because I didn't want to leave anything for anyone else. I had kept some of my mother's sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent the time together talking and laughing,I began to understand that if I killed myself,I would have missed that wonderful time and so many others that might follow. So you see,Mark,when you picked up those books that day,you did a lot more. You saved my life."

 Once,a group of boys decided to play a soccer game. Each of them would bring something used in the match. So one would bring the ball,another the whistle,others the goalkeeper gloves,the corner flags.

But while they were picking the teams,there was an argument. They decided that the boy who had brought the most important object would pick the teams. However they couldn't choose which had been the most important object,so they decided to start playing and gradually drop what they had brought,to see which things were truly needed.

The first thing they dropped was the whistle,because the judge could just shout instead. Then the goalkeeper gloves,they managed to save the ball just as well without them. Neither did they really notice when they stopped using the corner flags. Finally they even replaced the football with an old tin (易拉罐) ，and still managed to keep playing.

When they were playing with the tin,a man and his son passed by. Seeing the boys playing like that,the man said to his son, "Look,son. Learn from those kids. Without even a ball they're managing to play football,even though they're never going to be able to improve playing in that way."

The boys heard what he said,and realized that because of their pride,what could have been a great match had turned into a shameful display,which they were hardly enjoying at all. At that moment,they decided to give up their selfish opinions,and to start playing the match again,from the start and with all the necessary objects.

And it really was a great game. No one thought about who was playing better or worse. Rather,they just paid attention to having fun and improving their game.

When doing things together,the important thing is to make sure things turn out for the best,rather than argue about how much each person has contributed.

(   ) 6. The boys couldn't find the most important object,probably because -

   A. they thought all the objects were of no importance

   B. everyone believed his own object was the most important one

   C. no one wanted to get to pick the teams

   D. all of them wanted to give the chance to others

(   ) 7. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

   A. The judge dropped the goalkeeper gloves.

   B. Football was the most important object in the game.

   C. None of the objects left as they went on the game.

   D. The father passed by thought highly of the boys.

(   ) 8. When hearing what the father said,the boys might feel very         .

   A. angry   B. proud   C. nervous   D. embarrassed

(   ) 9. We can see from the passage that finally the boys         .

   A. found the most important object

   B. decided whom to pick the teams

   C. played a great game and had fun

   D. went on the game without objects

(   ) 10. The writer mainly wants to tell us that         .

   A. we should improve playing rather than compare contributions

   B. we should do our best to beat others in a match

   C. we should not show off our own contributions

   D. We should not compare with others when playing in a game
