I was the new coach of a Little League baseball team and had not yet learned the names of my players. At our first game, I called each boy by the number on his uniform. When I yelled,"Number5, your time to bat, " Jeff Smith came to the plate to hit. When I called for "Number 7", Steve Heinz jumped up. Then I asked for "Number 1", and no one emerged from the dugout. Again I called for Number 1. Still no one.   　　As the umpire looked on, annoyed at this delay of the game, I shouted, "Who is Number 1?"   　　That's when the whole team yelled, "We are, Coach! We are!   Notes:   　　(1) coach n.教练   　　(2) baseball n.棒球   　　(3) bat v.（用棒）击         (4) plate n.（棒球）本垒   　　(5) emerge v.出现   　　(6) dugout n.隐蔽壕   　　(7) umpire n.裁判员   Exercises:   请回答下列问题：   　　① Why didn't the coach know the names of his players?   　　② How did the coach call the boys since he didn't know their names?   　　③ Who was number five?   　　④ Why did the coach get annoyed?   　　⑤ How did the players interpret "Number I"?   87.教练与他的队员   　　我初到一小团体棒球队作教练，还不知道队员的名字。在第一次比赛中，我按照每一名队员球衣的号数来指挥。当我大声喊到：“5号，你该击球了。”杰夫·史密斯到本垒击球。当我叫到“7号”时，史迪夫·汉斯就跳起来。然后我叫到“1号”，却没人从隐蔽壕里跳出来。我又叫了一遍1号。还是没人跳出来。   　　因为裁判在旁观看，我很生气这支球队的懒散，大声吼道：“谁是1号（第一）？”   　　这时全体队员大喊道；“是我们，教练！我们是！”   练习参考答案：       ① Because he was the new coach.   　② He called each boy by the number on his uniform.     ③ Jeff Smith.   　④ Because no one responded to his call, and the umpire looked on.   　⑤ The best team
