If yu had t chse ne wrd t describe Kevin, it might have been “slw”. He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as ther kids. He never came in first in the running races. Hwever, Kevin’s smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart bigger than the sky. Kevin’s enthusiasm fr life spread quickly t thers? S when he discvered that the teacher, Randy, was putting tgether a bys’ basketball team, his mther culd nly answer, “Yes, yu may jin.”
Basketball became the center f Kevin’s life. At practice, he wrked s hard that yu’d have thught he was preparing fr the NBA. He liked t stand in a certain spt near the free- thrw (罚球) line and sht baskets. Patiently, he std there thrwing ball after ball after ball, until finally it wuld get int the basket. “Lk at me, Cach!” he’d shut t Randy, jumping up and dwn, his face just glwing with the excitement f it all. His teammates were als mved by Kevin’s perseverance, and they insisted n practicing with him.
Kevin and his whle team truly lved basketball. But just lving the game desn’t help yu win. Mre balls fell ut f the basket than int it, and the bys lst every game that seasn by very large scres, except ne: the night it snwed and the ther team culdn’t make it t the game. At the end f the seasn, the bys had their last cmpetitin. As the last-place team, they drew the unfrtunate spt f playing against the first-place team—the tall, undefeated first-place team.
The game went pretty much as expected, and near the middle f the furth quarter Kevin’s team std nearly 30 pints behind. At that pint, ne f Kevin’s teammates called time-ut. As he came t the side, Randy culdn’t imagine why the time-ut had been called. “Cach,” said the by. “I knw that Kevin has never made a basket. But this is ur last game and I think we shuld let Kevin make a basket t achieve his dream.” With the game cmpletely ut f reach, the idea seemed reasnable, s plans were made.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Every time Kevin’s team had the ball, Kevin was t stand in his special spt near the free- thrw line and they wuld give him the ball.

Kevin missed every chance with this pattern cntinuing a few mre times, and the spectatrs (观众) finally figured ut what was happening.
