1. (2022九上·兴隆台期末) 阅读理解

During my first year of high school, I was a thin boy. I dreamed of being a football star. I played a little bit, but I spent most time on the bench, because I wanted to become stronger. So I wanted to become stronger so that I can have more chances to play on the field. Over the summer, I searched information on the Internet and I found a special diet that body builders use to bulk up. Drinking a lot of whole milk and lifting weights every day helped me add an extra 11 kg of muscle（肌肉）.

By the time football season started, I felt ready. However, I was soon disappointed. I found myself on the bench again. That was to change during one of our first games of the season. We had built up a lead and the coach felt secure（无虑）enough to send me in for a while to play halfback （前卫）. I was so excited. When the quarterback （四分卫）handed the ball off to me, I ran quickly. However, I was soon hit by the other team's players. They tackled me hard to the ground. It turned out that I was not ready for the games. I got up and walked off the field back to the bench.

Over the years, I wondered why I never succeeded at my plans. It was not until I became a football commentator （评论员）that I finally realized that maybe the world's plans for me are better than my own.
