网友回答
(答案→)C
解析：讲述一位父亲通过给孩子买球鞋，买的是品行良好的的篮球运动员Ryann品牌而不是球技好但运动员风范差篮球运动员Hart名牌篮球运动鞋，从而教育应成为一个什么样的人。
【小题1】下文提到他将会拥有一双最酷的名牌篮球运动鞋，所以Travis在扯开生日礼物的包装纸时很兴奋。
【小题2】从下文可知Chuck Hart是一个很受欢迎的篮球运动员，Travis队里所有人都穿Chuck Hart的品牌运动鞋。下文又说他因为运动员风范差及臭名远扬，故使用although，表让步关系。
【小题3】 Hart球技很好，故排除ＡＢ，根据上文提及的运动员风范差说明是行为不检点，但却是一个很受欢迎的篮球运动员，说明是让步关系。Although尽管，符合题意。
【小题4】从下一句Travis 不去考虑Chuck Hart的行为（behavior），可以判定Chuck Hart行为（behavior）臭名远扬，故选C
【小题5】他只是想礼物盒里有一双印有Chuck Hart名字的鞋子。Travis队里所有人都穿Chuck Hart的品牌运动鞋。
【小题6】从下文Not Hart' s可知Travis剥开最后一层后他的第一反应就是出问题了，不是Hart品牌。
【小题7】be known for因为。。。而出名，Ryann因为出色的工作在社区出名。
【小题8】同后文 his heart stopped并列，描述Travis当时的失落心情：他的手僵住了，心不跳了。
【小题9】从上文可知，Travis队里所有人都穿Chuck Hart的品牌运动鞋，而Travis的却是Ryann的牌子，他怕被队友嘲笑。
【小题10】他无法说出“这正是我期盼的鞋子”，couldn’t不能够
【小题11】pull up 停下（住),put up 举起，张贴 take up从事，占据；turn up把声音调大，出现，句意，当他们在目的地停下的时候，Travis慢慢的打开车门。
【小题12】从上文 look…，父亲说的话可知，父亲欲言又止，很犹豫地说。
【小题13】make a choice做选择，父亲买鞋时要在Hart和Ryann这两个人中选择。
【小题14】父亲买鞋选择了他钦佩的那个人Ryann的品牌鞋子。Admire敬佩，钦佩
【小题15】从下文“他从来不跟教练顶嘴，不打架”可看出他不自己惹事，in trouble
【小题16】根据常识，小孩没有得到自己想要的鞋子就会有明显的不高兴的表现。
【小题17】转折关系。但你得有礼貌，充分的利用好这双鞋子。
【小题18】我希望终有一天，你有这个荣耀你自己的名字出现在鞋子上。
【小题19】经过父亲的一番教诲，Travis再看这双鞋时有了不同的态度。
【小题20】父亲运用他的智慧给了他的孩子发人深思的礼物。
