26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
High school sports. It’s about the biggest thing in our town of Verden, population six hundred. And sports are important in our family. Both of our sons were high-school athletes. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when Lauren announced she was going out for the girls’ basketball team. But I was because she has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症). My wife Jennifer and I never told Lauren that she was different, treating her like our other children. We didn’t want her to feel that way.
“I’m gonna play basketball, Daddy.” Lauren flew into my arms when I came in from work. “That’s nice, honey,” I replied without a second thought, figuring she meant outside—on the driveway. But Jennifer’s worried face showed I’d missed something. Jennifer spoke slowly, her tone steady. “She meant she’s joining the girls’ high-school basketball team, the Lady Tigers.”
The next afternoon, I parked in front of the school gym. Inside, Coach Durant greeted us, “We’re glad Lauren came out for the team. She matters to us!” Lauren stood alone at the other end of the court, shooting free throws. No other girl on the court smiled widely as Lauren did. After every shot, Lauren yelled excitedly, “Woo hoo!”, not caring whether she made the basket.
Mid-November, the season’s first game arrived. I settled into a seat with the rest of my family. Moments later, a train of girls went out of the locker room. Last in line was Lauren, grabbing a practice ball. But before Lauren took her warm-up shot, she searched the stands (看台). Spotting us, she tucked (抱) the ball under her arm and waved broadly.
The game got off to a good start, but soon Verden was behind. Even though Lauren wasn’t playing, she was following the movement on the court attentively. She hit her knees each time the opposing team scored; she waved her arms each time Verden shot. Just less than two minutes were left, and Verden was behind by 17 points. Coach called a time-out (暂停). Then the announcer’s voice came. “Number thirty-three, Lauren Wray, in for the Lady Tigers.”
