In October, 1961, at Crowley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio, and 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 professional 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 Northwestern 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 righthanded and batted lefthanded. 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 travelled 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.
1．In which order did the following things happen in Hoy's life? a．Hoy worked as a shoemaker. b．Hoy began to run a dairy farm.
c．Hoy played a memorable game in the heavy fog. d．Hoy threw the first ball of the World Series. e．Hoy became deaf.
A．d，e，a，c，b B．e，a，c，b，d C．d，a，e，c，b D．e，a，b，c，d
2．We can infer from the last paragraph that Hoy ________ in his late years.
A．became famous B．led a relaxed life C．travelled around the world D．was in good physical condition
3．This passage is mainly about ________． A．a deaf player devoted to the game of baseball B．baseball game rules and important players
C．the rise in the social position of the deaf people D．where the baseball judge hand signals came from Ⅶ.短文改错
