2014届高考英语二轮九十天强化训练：阅读理解62 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分） 认真阅读下列短文,从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。????? A.?

He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, Your boy is straight.?? 　He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family. 56.
