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
