Im the quarterback(前卫)on my team. Well, actually, thats not true now. I was the quarterback because this was my last game. It was the league championship. Thats a good way to end a high school football career at a high point.Ive been sitting here by myself shivering in the cold and thinking back over the game and other games Ive played in my life. Im looking at the goal and thinking how it always seemed to reach out and pull me with a secret, magical force. I remember all the times I closed my eyes on the field and thought, “There has to be a way to get the ball across that line. There has to be a way.” Even if a I didnt find the way, I always believed there was a way. Now, Im not so sure.I was 8 when I first started playing football. My dad loved football, and he would practice with me at home passing, catching, funning. Wed practice almost every evening until it got too dark, He tried to teach me everything he knew about the game. “Just remember: dont ever give up.”“Stay in the game. Dont lose your concentration.”“Go out there and give 110 percent every time.”Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words ringing in my ears.I had a lot on my mind before the game today. I dont like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game, and it was the league championship. I was talking to myself and reminding myself about what to do and not to do. I didnt sleep at all last night, and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where I just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But then when the game started, my mind became empty. Everything dropped away from me. I just lived in this game, this moment. I didnt have any other existence. I didnt hear the crowd, I didnt feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the ball, and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light showing me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty feeling.Its all over now. Its dark and Im sitting here all alone. Well, I guess its time to say good-bye and move on.56. The author was sitting in an empty stadium because .

That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.Btu before going back home, there was an interview with the host Ryan Seacrest.

When the two received the award, it was late morning in the childrens home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the results from Hollywood.“I dont really know what the Oscars are,” Rubinas mother said. “Im just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.”“Our children lead a dogs life,” Rubinas mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains(下水道)and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums that are their home.

Your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed(使不知所措) by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus.Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but dont forget why you are there.

Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? what can/cant you do in class? What can/cant you do in your student residence(住处)? Who has right for what? What do you need to complete the graduation?Write the word“STUDY”on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will be helpful to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this-you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond.

The group tentatively(实验性的)concluded in late October that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat, exciting farmers who are developing clones of cows and other creatures. But almost immediately, one of the FDAs advisory committees sharply questioned the conclusion and the science behind it.In evaluating(评估)food from cloned animals, the group carried out two tests in Qctober.One test, it said, compared clones at different stages of life to healthy ordinary animals to determine whether they appear the same. The second and more exact tests could include tests on the meat and milk of clones.When the FDA concluded that cloned animals appeared to be safe to eat, critics pointed out that the group seemed to depend almost only on the first test.“Most of the things we evaluate for safety, we can tell what the risk might be,” said Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDAs Center for Veterinary Medicine. “When you are talking about cloning, its very different because we hav
