Many years,ago,A1 Capone owned Chicago. Capone wasn't 1 for anything heroic but for cruelty (殘暴) .

   Capone had a 2 named “Easy Eddie." Eddie was very good!In fact,Eddie's skill at legal tricks kept Capone out of 3 for a long time.

   To show his 4 , Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big,but Eddie got special 5 as well. For instance,iie and his family occupied a large house with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day.

   Eddie lived a(n) 6 life and gave little consideration to the 7 that went on around him. 8 Eddie did have one soft spot. He had a son,whom he loved dearly. Eddie 9 that his young son had clothes,cars,and a good education.

   And,10 his involvement with organized crime,Eddie even 11 to teach his son right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a 12 man than he was.

   Yet,with all his 13 and influence,there were two things he couldn't give his son: he couldn't pass on a good name or a good 14 .

   One day,Easy Eddie reached a 15 decision. He wanted to right those wrongs he had done. He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the 16 about A1 Capone,clean up his 17 name,and teach his son about integrity (正直) . To do this,he would have to testify (作證) against Capone,and he knew that the 18 would be great. But he testified.

   Within the year,Easy Eddie's 19 ended in a burst of gunfire on a lonely Chicago street. But in his eyes,he had given his son the 20 gift he had to offer,even at the heaviest cost he could ever pay.

   Before one man walked upon a muddy New Jersey riverbank,baseball was a deadly game.

   In 1938,Phillies third-base coach Lena Blackbume happened to step into a stream in the Delaware River,and realized he found a solution for one of baseball's biggest problems.

   Back then balls fresh from the box were slippery and hard to control. Players tried to improve their grips(緊握力) with tobacco juice or shoe polish,but as the balls got dirtier,they just got harder to see. Batting helmets hadn't been invented yet,and players were having trouble keeping their eyes on the errant (無(wú)定向的) balls. One batter was even killed.

   So when Blackbume came across the slippery mud near his hometown fishing hole,his mind went straight to the field. The mud was gritty(含砂的) ,with the look and feel of chocolate pudding. He brought some home and found that,sure enough,it coated the ball perfectly,improving the grip without damaging the leather. When Blackbume showed the result to American League umpires(裁判員) ，they gave his mud a thumbs-up. By the 1950s,every major-league team was using it.

   Now,before every major- and minor- league game (as well as many college games) , an umpire or clubhouse attendant wipes a light coat of Blackbume's magic mud on each ball used. The mud hole's location remains a closely guarded secret to this day. Only one person,Jim Bintliff,the mud's farmer,knows where to find it.

1. Before 1938,baseball was .

   A. boring   B. world-famous

   C. unpopular   D. dangerous

2. The magic mud makes baseballs.

   A. easier to control   B. easier to make

   C. look prettier   D. look bigger

3. What did American League umpires think of Blackbume's method?

   A. It was great.

   B. It might work.

   C. It didn’t work.

   D. It could be improved.

4. Which can be the best title for the text?

   A. Baseball stars   B. Baseball rules

   C. Baseball's secret   D. Baseball's origin

   When I first met Bud,I knew we were going to be friends,even though he was white and I was black. We first met at the All-City Chorus. 1 We stood side by side in the chorus,and he always made me look good,even if I missed a note.

   Bud went to an all-white high school in a beautiful,all-white neighborhood. There were very few big buildings in his coiiimunity. As a matter of fact,you would have to walk four or five blocks to get to the nearest shopping center. 2 In his basement,he had a complete mini-gym. In his bedroom,he had a nice desk,complete with reference books and his own little TV on which he could play his video games.

   3 My family lived in a nice apartment in an all-black housing project. Our project housed many families,so we were used to living in small crowded houses. 4 There were all kinds of stores nearby. For beauty,we had basketball courts and the rose garden in front of the project building.

   We were never jealous or looked down on one another,either. We both felt we had lost something because we lived in worlds set apart from others. Bud's only contact(接觸) with blacks of his age was in the All-City Chorus. 5 And it was not as interesting as it would have been if he had grown up with people of different groups and races living together. I felt the same way. Both races could learn a great deal from one another,and I knew this because Bud and I surely did learn from each other.

   A. Bud's house was another point of interest.

   B. Because of this,he felt his life was sheltered.

   C. We never had to walk far to the nearest store.

   D. My home and neighborhood were totally different.

   E. People said we both had the same kind of personality.

   F. I could sing a little,but Bud really had a very good voice.

   G. After practice,the two of us would always go to McDonald's.
