Lyle’s Second GoIn 1982，when I was coaching the Raiders，the owner of the team talked with me about a possible trade for Lyle Alzado. After watching him on tape，I didn’t think he was that good, but the owner felt we could make Lyle better by creating the right environment lor him. We made the 13 .That summer at training camp，Lyle was having a hard time. He had that look in his eyes that many young players and some old players get when things aren’t going 14. One morning Lyle came into my office and he looked like he hadn’t slept. Here was a huge man, with his head about as 15 as it could go. We talked, or rather, I listened. The main point was that Lyle felt his career (职业生涯）was over and it would be best for him and for the team if he retired (退役）.He apologized for 16 us since we had just traded for him.Lyle was always an emotional person. This is one of the reasons he was a good player. He 17 all that emotional energy with him, ready to lire out at the snap of the ball (开球）.Now he was in front of me，almost crying. I thought for a moment，realizing we had to keep that 18 going. Then I went through my reasons why he should not retire. At the end of our talk，I said，“You go out and play your very best, and let us 19 if you still have it. Personally，I think you do.”In January 1984. Tampa Bay Stadium. Super Bowl XVIII. With less than two minutes remaining, we were leading 38-9. We were the world champions of professional football. I saw Lyle，crying like a baby. I had to turn away quickly，or I would have joined him in 20.I remembered that morning in my office，and what Lyle，and what the Raiders，had achieved since he came to us. If Lyle hadn’t given his career another shot, he wouldn’t have had this victory. Maybe the Raiders wouldn’t have had this victory. During that moment，I felt one of the greatest satisfactions of my coaching career.13. A. deal B. plan C. argument D. mistake14. A. away B. over C. well D. fast15. A. low B. cool C. clear D. heavy16.

December 24, 2010, I decidedto 13 a little last-minute shopping before joining my family at my mother’s.I bought a large basket of cheeses and a bottle of wine. On my way down, the elevator (电梯) stopped at the third floor, where everybody but an older couple and me got off – and where a tall, handsome man 14 . We started down again; then suddenly, the elevator stopped. We were stuck – on Christmas Eve!15 there was a phone, and the old man called someone in maintenance (维修), whotold us that we had to be in for a long wait.At that point, we – the older couple, Mr. and Mrs. Philips; John, the handsome man; and I– sat down on the floor and began 16 Christmas memories. An hour passed, then two; we found ourselves so involved in the conversation that we forgot we were stuck. I shared my basket of cheeses and wine with them. I didn’t realize at the time we were creating another special Christmas 17 .After five hours, the elevator finally moved. When the doors opened, the worried store manager was surprised to find us in such 18 spirits. Saying our good-byes, the four of us exchanged addresses and promised to send holiday greetings to each other in the years to come.I got to my mother’s for our traditional family Christmas – a bit late, 19 I got there. Christmas evening I returned to my apartment. Waiting for me was a single red rose and a message: I really miss the cheese basket, John. At the bottom was his phone number…John and I were married the following Christmas Eve. And we are 20 exchangingChristmas greetings with Mr. and Mrs. Phillips. And I still wake up every Christmas Eve morning filled with excitement at the magic of the day.13. A. make B. do C. show D. accept14. A. got up B. got down C. got off D. got on15. A. Sadly B.
