When I was 13 my only purpose was to

beating out Miller King,
(25)________was the best player at our school.
Football season started in September
and all summer long I worked out. I carried my

hospital. He looked very pale, (26)________
he didn’t cry.
That season, I broke
all of
Miller’s records
(27)________ he
watched the home games from
the bench.
We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player,

accident.
One afternoon, I was crossing the field
to go home and saw Miller stuck (28)________(go)

hard to climb (29)________

accepted. I helped him
move slowly over the fence. When we were finally
safe on the other side,
he said to me,
“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 thought to myself, how even without
an arm he
was more of (31)________
leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was still
ahead of me. I was right
(32)________(admire) him. From that day
on, I grew bigger and a little more real.

function, but have not suffered permanent damage.
The organism (33)________ still be
revived. Biological death occurs when
changes in the organism lead to the

breaking
up
”
of vital
cells and tissues. Death is then
unchangeable and final.
Scientists

(

III. Reading

Section A
Directions:
For each blank
in the following passages there are four words or
phrases marked A, B,

____52_____
an

weaponry. They could not even
____53_____ themselves by running
swiftly like the
horse, zebras or small
animals. If the ape-man had attempted to compete

limbs and began to
walk upright.
