a. happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. b. one must know how to attain happiness. c. it is important to make commitments. d. it is pain that leads to happiness【参考答案16-20】acbda阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ai used to watch her from my kitchen window. she seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. the school was across the street from our home and i would often watch the kids as they played during break. i remember the first day i saw her playing basketball. i watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. she managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. the boys always tried to stop her but no one could. i began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.one day i asked her why she practiced so much. without a moment of hesitation she said, “i want to go to college. the only way i can go is to get a scholarship. i am going to play college basketball. i want to be the best. my daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts dont count.” well, i had to give it to hershe was determined. i watched her through those junior high years and into high school. every week, she led her school team to victory.one day in her senior year, i saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. i walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. quietly i asked what was wrong. “oh, nothing,” came a soft reply, “i am just too short.” the coach told her that at 55” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked teammuch less offered a scholarshipso she should stop dreaming about college. she was heartbroken and i
