阅读理解．

　　Today in our Physical Education class, we all had to play basketball．There are only 7 girls in our P．E．class, so the class is mostly boys．And because we're girls, they don't really like us．We hate basketball, and they hate us．So we ask them if we can sit on the benches and not play．They agree, and so on the benches, there's always a row of girls, talking and laughing happily．

　　Well, today, just while all the girls were talking happily, the P．E．teacher came in．Angrily, he looked at all the boys, running around with the basketball．Seeing that not a girl was playing, he looked at us．Shaking his head, he blew his whistle．

　　Beep!Everyone looked up．We were all surprised．

　　“Why aren't you playing?”he asked us．

　　“Well, they said that we didn't have to play, Mr Backus!”we quickly blamed the boys, afraid to get into trouble．

　　“What?!They didn't want to play－it was all their fault!”the boys didn't

want to get into trouble, either．

　　Mr Backus told us to get up and made all of us run around the playground for 5 minutes．Later, he made us sit down and listen to him．The boys complained, but he made them listen anyway．

　　“Am I ever unfair to you?”he asked．

　　We all shook our heads．It was true．Mr Backus was the nicest P．E．teacher ever!He never shouted, never complained, never anything．He was just nice．

　　“Well, then I hope you are fair to me．I don't care whose fault it was．One person's fault; the whole class's fault．Understand?”

　　We nodded and waited．It was the only thing he ever asked us to do; to be fair．It was not much; it was not anything．So we listened on．

　　“This time I catch you not doing anything, you run for 5 minutes．Next time, you run for 10 minutes．It's your choice．You could playgames or run．I don't really care, but I think you care．Remember, one person's fault; the whole class's fault．Got it?”

　　As we nodded again, he left．We could see him smile as he closed the door．Mr Backus could never be mean．He was just too nice．That was why we all liked him and he certainly loved us．

Answer 1

1．D;2．D;3．C;4．B;5．A;

(1)	见“We hate basketball, …”，这句话中的we根据上文可知指的是the girls．
(2)	根据这句Mr Backus told us to get up and made all of us run around the playground for 5 minutes．可以知道：当那个体育老师见到没有一个女生打球，他确定是男、女生双方的错．
(3)	根据上下文可知，由于女生们怕惹麻烦，就赶紧把责任推给男生们，所以blame的词义是“责怪”较合适．
(4)	见The boys complained．complain意思是“抱怨、不满”．
(5)	从整个文章中可知，那个体育老师想让所有的学生们从他的这堂课中明白建立一个美好的、公平的、友好的集体是每个学生的责任．而选项B、C、D都只是一一个方面，不如选项A全面．
