In October 1961 at Crowley Field in
Cincinnati Ohio an old deaf gentleman named William E. Hoy stood up to throw the
first ball of the World Series. Most people at Crowley Field on that day
probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired (退休) from profess-ional
baseball 58 years earlier in 1903. However he had been an outstanding player and
the deaf people still talk about him and his years in baseball.
William E. Hoy was born in Houckstown Ohio on May 23, 1862. He became deaf
when he was two years old. He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the deaf.
After graduation he started playing baseball while working as a
shoemaker. Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for
Oshkosh (Wisconsin) of the Northw- estern League. In 1888 he started as an
outfielder (外场手) with the old Washington Senators. His small figure and speed
made him an outstanding base runner. He was very good at stealing bases during
his career. In the 1888 major league season he stole 82 bases. He was also the
Senators' leading hitter in 1888. Hoy was clever and he threw right-handed and
batted left-handed, on June 19, 1889 he threw out three batters (击球手) at the
plate from his outfield position. The arm signals used by judges
today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy. The judge lifted his right
arm to show that the pitch was a strike and his left arm to signal that it was a
ball. For many years people talked about Hoy's last ball game in
1903. He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League. It was
a memorable game because Hoy hit a wonderful ball which won the game. It was a
very foggy day and therefore very hard to see the ball. In the ninth inning
(棒球的一局) with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out
in spite of the fog. Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the
game. After he retired Hoy stayed busy. He ran a dairy farm near
Cincinnati for 20 years. He also became a public speaker and traveled giving
speeches. Until a few years before his death he took 4—10 mile walks several
mornings a week. On December 15,1961 William Hoy died at the age of
99.

单选题When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holiday. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list if men who would have three-day posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.
It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, shining against the green of a pine.
"Where did it come from?" I asked.
"I asked the gate boy to cut it," my mother said, "I wouldn"t have one just for myself, but when called—oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon." Krysal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little disorderly at the side, 1 thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
"It"s not like the one you used to find," my mother went on, "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the gate boy didn"t know where to look. But I couldn"t be critical."
"Don"t worry," I told him, "It"s perfect."
It wasn"t of course, but at the moment I realized for the first time: all Christmas tree are perfect.

{{B}}The Christmas Tree{{/B}}
In pre-Christian Europe, people believed that trees (fruit trees and
evergreens in particular) were embodiment of powerful beings. In the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries, the designated miracle play for December 25 was the
story of Adam and Eve and in this play the chief prop was an apple-hung
evergreen called the paradise tree. In the sixteenth century, German families
began bringing evergreens into their homes during the Christmas season. By the
seventeenth century, they were known as Christbaiime (Christ trees) and were
being decorated with fruits, candies, cookies, candles and wafers resembling the
eucharistic host. The first Christmas trees in America were set
up by German immigrants in the 1820s and the almost universal adoption of the
custom dates from the 1910s. Now at Christmas time decorated trees stand in
about two-thirds of American homes. The modem American tree is usually covered
with colored balls and strings of colored lights. The star on top represents the
Star in the East which guided the three Wise Men to
Bethlehem.
