When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant  21 Miller King, who was the best   22  at our school.
Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for      23   .
Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from   24  . He looked very   25  , but he didn’t cry.
That season, I  26  all of Miller’s records while he   27  the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player,   28  I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s   29  .
One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller  30   going over a fence—which wasn’t  31  to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept   32 from. But even that challenge he accepted. I  33   him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally   34   on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did   35  .Thank you for filling in for  36  .”
His words freed me from my bad  37  . I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was  38  ahead of me. I was right to have  39 him. From that day on，I grew  40  and a little more real.

Why aren’t the University Colleges and Institutes just called "University" The simpler answer is that, with a few %xceptions, the University Colleges and Institutes do not usually award all their own degrees. At least some of the degrees, especially at postgraduate level, are likely to be awarded by a large university with which the college or institute is associated.
University Colleges and Institutes tend to be much smaller than typical British universities.
But it is not only a matter of size, but their origins that make them somewhat different from British Universities, old or new. Typically, the present University Colleges and Institutes have developed and grown from Teachers’ Colleges. Until about 20 years ago in most cases, they would have been exclusively concerned with the professional training of teachers. Then they started to offer other courses and degrees, broadly comparable to any university, the only difference being that these institutions do not normally provide degrees in such subjects as Law, Engineering, and Medicine.
The particular strengths of the University Colleges and Institutes lie in their somewhat particular origins. In terms of the courses and subjects offered, there is likely to be an emphasis on those subjects that are closely associated with the School curriculum -- Arts or Humanities subjects. Teacher education itself, of course, almost certainly remains as a strong component of the whole array of courses taught by a University College or Institute. Professional training for the classroom is something that these institutions have specialized in since their foundation, and no University is likely to do it better. Also associated with the smaller institutions’ origins is their strong continuing pastoral (田园式的) tradition and care for the individual student.
Perhaps, there is virtue and merit in what is small: sheer size, especially if it means a loss of what is most human and personal, is not something to be sought of its own sake. The relatively small University Colleges and Institutes have all the facilities and equipment of the bigger Universities.
Lecturers and tutors have to be well qualified because they teach degree courses that are in every way equal in standard to those taught at Universities. So, parents, students, and sponsors need have no doubt about the quality or standing of the degrees that the Colleges award.
Quality assurance is guaranteed. International recognition and comparability with all other British degrees are not, in question. So what else should students, parents, and sponsors worry

A:In offering the students better school curriculum B:In Arts and Humanities subjects C:In classroom instructions D:In providing professional training for teachers
