When I was 13, my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That means beating out Miller King, who was the best p 81 at our school.
Football season started in September and all summer long I practiced. I carried my football wherever I went.
Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and l 82 his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very pale, but he didn`t cry.
That season, I broke all of Miller`s r 83 while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable footballer ,but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s a 84 .
One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller stuck going over a fence, which wasn’t hard to climb if you had b 85 arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept assistance from. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally safe on the o 86 side, he said to me,＂You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did fine. Thank you for filling in for me .
His words freed me from my bad dreams. I thought to myself, even though he had only one arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was s 87 ahead of me. I was right to have admired him. From that day on，I grew up and became a little more real.

I've always wanted to try rock climbing, but never had time or money for it. But I've discovered a way to e    81     the excitement of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don't climb on r   82     rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms, schools and camps have one. You can climb indoors at any time of the year, no matter how the weather is. It is usually not expensive. Most gyms p    83      the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular.But the r   84       people climb is for the rush （刺激感）they get. When I stand at the foot of the wall and look up, I'm always scared. But once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动）, I reach the top and look down. I can't stop grinning(咧嘴而笑）. I did it!
Indoor climbing is a great workout （锻炼）.Climbing uses muscles(肌肉）that are hard to exercise, e    85     those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with v    86       degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out （凸出）in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel （平行的） with the floor.
Although gym climbing is safer and simpler than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls your climbing rope t   87      something called a belay device （绳索控制器）. The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.
答案：81-87：enjoy; real; provide; reason; especially; various; through

An extract from The Greatest Tales of Sherlock Holmes

I sat until after eleven in this room, deep in a book. Then I walked round to see that all was right before I went u____82____. I always did this myself, to be sure that everything is OK.

I s__85__back quickly, but the man was on me in a moment. He caught me first by the wrist and then by the throat. I struggled to scream, but he hit me heavily over the eyes, and I fell to the ground.
I must have been unconscious for a few minutes. When I woke up, I found that they had torn down the bell-rope and had tied me tightly to the c____86___ standing at the head of the dining table. I was so firmly bound that I could not move, and a handkerchief round my mouth prevented me from making any sound. It was at this moment that my unfortunate husband came into the room. He had c__87__heard some suspicious sounds, and he came prepared. When he rushed at one of the burglars, another man bent down and took the poker(拔火棍)out of the fireplace and struck him heavily as he passed. My husband fell without a groan（呻吟）and never moved again.
