play?”shays father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like shay on their team,but the father also understood that if his son,mentally and physically disabled,were allowed to play,it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.shays father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if shay could play,not expecting much. the boy looked around and said,“were losing by six runs(分)and the game is in the eighth inning(局). i guess he can be on our team and well try to put him in to bat in the final inning. “shay struggled over to the teams bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. the boys saw the fathers joy at his son being accepted. in the bottom of the eighth inning,shays team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. in the top of the final inning,shay put on a glove and played in the field. even though no hits came his way,he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. in the bottom of the final inning,shays team scored again. now,shay was scheduled to be next at bat. would they let shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?surprisingly,shay was given the bat. everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. the first pitch(投) came and shay missed. the pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards shay. as the pitch came in,shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.the pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. instead,the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman,beyond the reach of all teammates. the audience and the players from both teams started screaming,“shay,run to first!“ never in his life had shay ever run that far but made it to first base,wide-eyed and shocked.everyone shouted,“run to second!“ catching his breath,shay awkwardly ran towards second. by the time shay rounded towards second base,the smallest guy on their team,who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman,but he understood the pitchers intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third basemans head.all were screaming,“shay,shay,shay,all the way shay. “ shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted,“shay,run to third. “ as shay rounded third,all were on their feet,crying,“shay,run home!”shay ran to home,stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.that day,the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. shay didnt make it to another summer and died that winter,having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!1.

instant icon in the records of american conflict, the final big-game hunter. but a puzzle, too, his identity would be kept a secret for now, and maybe forever.he is the unknown shooter. the nameless, faceless triggerman who put a bullet in the head of the worlds most notorious（臭名昭著的）terrorist, bin laden.hes likely between the ages of 26 and 33, says marcinko, founder of the “seals team 6” that many believe led the attack on bin laden in abbottabad, pakistan. hell be old enough to have had time to hurdle the extra training tests required to join the counter-terrorism unit, yet young enough to stand the body-punishing harshness of the job. the shooters a man, its safe to say, because there are no women in the seals. and theres a good chance hes white, though the seals have stepped up efforts to increase the number of minorities in their ranks, marcinko and smith say.he was probably a high school or college athlete, smith says, a physical specimen who combines strength, speed and wisdom. “they call themselves tactical athletes, “ says smith, who works with many future seals in his heroes of tomorrow training program in severna park. “its getting very scientific.”marcinko puts it in more conventional terms: “hell be ripped,” says the author of the best-selling autobiography “rogue warrior.” “hes got a lot of upper-body strength. long arms. thin waist. flat stomach.”on this point, greitens departs a bit. “you cant make a lot of physical assumptions,” says the author of “the heart and the fist: the education of a humanitarian, the making of a navy seal.” there are seals who are 5 feet 4 and seals who are 6 feet 5, greitens says. in his training group, he adds, there were college football boys who couldnt hack it; those who survived were most often men in good shape, but they also had a willingness to show their concerns in favor of the mission.the shooters probably not the crew-cut（平头）, neatly shaven ideal weve come to expect from american fighting forces. “hes bearded, rough-looking, like a street naughty boy,” marcinko supposes. “you dont want to stick out.” marcinko calls it “modified grooming standards.”his hands will be calloused（长老茧）, smith says, or just rough enough,” as marcinko puts it. and “hes got frag in him somewhere,” marcinko says, using the battlefield shorthand for “fragments” of bullets or explosive devices. this will not have been the shooters first adventure. marcinko estimates that he might have made a dozen or more deployments（部署）, tours when he was likely to have dealt with quite a number of dangerous situations, getting ready any time for explosive devices or bullets.1. which of the following is most likely to be the title of the passage?a. who shot bin laden? b. what do the seals do?c. how can boys be seals?d. what
