Greg Gadson, a lieutenant colonel in the Army’s Warrior Transition Brigade, is a natural leader—the kind of guy you’d be looking for on the battlefield. He’s also the kind of guy Mike Sullivan, a coach for the New York Giants, whose thought could make a difference to his losing football team. The two men had gone to US Military Academy at West Point together but hadn’t been in touch much afterward, until Sullivan walked into Gadson’s hospital room at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, outside Washington, D. C. , last June. Friends had told Sullivan that his former Army football teammate had suffered serious injuries in Iraq—resulting in both of Gadson’s legs being amputated above the knee.
"This man had suffered so much," Sullivan recalls, "yet he was so happy to see me. " The coach, who brought his old friend a signed Giants jersey with the number 98 on it, watched as Gadson interacted with the other patients and the doctors and nurses, encouraging them all. "To see the impact he had on these people—the look in his eyes and how they responded—was overwhelming and inspirational. "
Sullivan couldn’t help but be impressed by Gadson’s enthusiasm and lack of self-pity. When the Giants were scheduled to play the Redskins in Washington three months later, Sullivan sent his friend tickets—along with a request; Would Gadson speak to the team before they took the field? Having lost the first two games of the season, the Giants had already given up 80 points and, worse, seemed to be playing with no heart. The coach felt that Gadson was the perfect person to tell the players something they needed to hear about commitment, about perseverance, about teamwork.
Teamwork was everything to Gadson. He had played football at Indian River High School in the Tidewater region of Virginia and gone on to become a starting linebacker—No. 98 for West Point from 1986 to 1988, despite his relatively slight build of 190 pounds on a 5-foot-11 frame. Following his graduation, Gadson, the son of a hospital pharmacist and a teacher, planned to serve his compulsory five years and get out. But after tours in the Balkans and Afghanistan, he found himself hooked. "Serving my country is important," he says, "but for me it’s about being a soldier, being there for each other in the biggest sense of the word. I love being part of that team. "
Having visited the Balkans and Afghanistan, Gadson______.
选项
A、had a new goal in life
B、felt sad about fighting wars
C、decided to pursue his studies
D、expressed deep regret for his choice
答案
A
解析
本题考查细节。根据最后一段中But after tours in the Balkans and Afghanistan,he found himself hooked.“Serving my country is important,”he says,“but for meit’s about being a soldier,being there for each other in the biggest sense of the word.I lovebeing part of that team.可知,参观巴尔干和阿富汗后,他发现自己着迷了。“服务于自己的国家是重要的,”他说,“但对于我来说,应该成为一名战士,在那里服务于每一个人。我愿意成为队伍中的一员。”由此可知,A选项符合题意。
