Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.
Period 4 读写综合
Three students are sharing how they have changed since they came to middle school.
I didn’t do well in my study before，but since I began to study in this school，things have changed. The teachers here always help with my schoolwork and encourage me by saying“I’m sure you can make it.”or“You are one of the cleverest students I have ever met.”These words really mean a lot to me. Now I’m one of the top students in my class，and I like studying as well.
—Alice
I used to be a fat boy. When I entered the middle school，my father worried that I would be laughed at by my new classmates，so he decided to exercise with me every day. It really worked. Now I’m used to running and exercising in the morning，and I am thin and strong. My P.E. teacher thinks I’m good at running.
—Jason
I used to like to be alone and didn’t feel like talking to anyone. But when I met Alice and Jason，I found that they were really good people. Then gradually we became closer and finally became good friends. Thanks to them，I’m talkative and outgoing now，and I have made many other friends. I talk and play with my friends every day and each day I feel happy.
—Lucy

During my first year of high school， I was a skinny boy who weighed just 55 kg.I dreamed of being a football star.I played a little bit， but spent most of my time on the bench.Over the summer， I found a special diet that bodybuilders use to bulk up.Drinking much whole milk and lifting weights every day added an extra 11 kg of muscle.
At the start of the football season， I felt ready.I was soon disappointed， though， when I saw that I was still smaller and slower than most of the other boys.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 enough to send me in for a while to play halfback（前卫）.I was so excited.
On the first play， I met some challenges.When the quarterback（四分卫） handed the ball off to me， I thought it was my time to show off.However， I was soon hit by three of the other team’s players.They tackled me hard to the ground.I got up and walked off the field， back to the bench.
Over the years， I have lost count of the number of times I have dreamed of achieving something， only to find that the world had other plans.I hated this for a long time.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.
（ ）1.What does the underlined phrase “bulk up” in Paragraph 1 mean？
A.Save money. B.Lose weight.
C.Gain muscle. D.Keep a balance.
（ ）2.Why did the coach allow the writer to play halfback？
A.Because one of the players got hurt.
B.Because the team was likely to win the game.
C.Because it was not an important position.

（ ）3.How might the writer have felt after going off the field？
