　　Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.

　　Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.

Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

　　If you are a wealthy person of India, madly in love and planning your big fat wedding-or being pressured into arranged marriage-Thailand wants you to exchange vows(誓言) in Bangkok, Phuket or elsewhere in this “ wedding paradise(乐园)”.

　　This wedding business starts from overseas with the Indians. Thai embassies in India give quick services for the visas. Not only the couples, you can bring anyone, say, your own cook. So, feel free to invite hundreds of your friends and relatives.

　　Why would Indians want to spend so much on weddings in Thailand? Because they have similarities in religion, When Indian weddings want to have some religious prayer for the couples, Thailand can do that But the more obvious appeal are Thailand’s fancy hotels, tropical islands, and delicious Thai food, allowing new couples to include a honeymoon in Thailand after they say “I do” while their guests also celebrate on a holiday here. But on the other hand, love does have a price.

　　Kasr Rajagopal arranged for his daughter to have a wedding in phuket. They arranged entertainment to begin three days before the wedding because guests arrival time varied, Yachts(游艇)were arranged to take guests to small islands, while a DJ, flow in from Bangalore, India, was booked to help them dance in the evening Kasu also arranged priests(祭祀)for the Hindu wedding, and cooks to prepare Indian food. The approximate costs are around half a million U.S. dollars, including the airfares, hotel accommodation, food, transportation, the yachts on hire and the wedding ceremony expenses, for 225 to 250 guests.

　　Thailand wants to make itself a wedding paradise for all couples, not just from India, but from around the world. Last year, there were around 500 to 600 couples from china, and the numbers are slowly coming up .Westemers also arrive to get married, but in much smaller numbers.

　　A. they will be pressured into arranged married in India

　　B. India shares the same religion as Thailand

　　C. Thailand offers them more than just a wedding ceremony

　　D. guests are not satisfied with Indian weddings

　　A. Guests do not need visas to get into Thailand.

　　B. Changing vows is a necessary step for an Indian wedding.

　　（2011·江西卷）A

　　“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”

　　“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut iin before things grew worse.

　　After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

　　“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
