閱讀下面的短文，選擇正確答案。
Jed couldn't keep the tears running down his face．His friend，Rob，wanted to help him，but the more he talked about it，the worse Jed felt．
“I know how terrible you must feel，”Rob said．“Everyone on the team thought the coach would choose you．He must be crazy to let Tom swim the breaststroke！”
When the coach told him about the date and place of the state swimming meeting for boys of 15 and under，Jed was sure he would be swimming the breaststroke．He even told his family that the team couldn't win the event without him．
When the coach chose Tom Timmons，the new boy from Springfield，to swim the breaststroke，Jed could hardly believe it．Coach Robertson told Jed he could swim on the relay team，but that offered little consolation ．
“I may leave the team，”he told Rob．“I'd rather not swim at all than be on the relay team.”
“I don't know whether you should do that or not，”Rob said．“We need you on the relay team．Of course，if you say you won't swim at all，the coach may change his mind and let you swim the breaststroke.”
Jed left Rob and headed towards home．He knew it would be embarrassing to have to tell his family and his friends that someone else would take his place．He wondered if he should make up a story and tell his mom and dad that he asked the coach to put the new boy in．Jed didn't know what to do.

參考譯文
杰德不禁淚流滿面。他的朋友羅布想幫助他，可羅布說得越多，杰德越難過。
“我知道你的心情肯定很不好，”羅布說，“隊里的每個人都覺得教練會選你?？伤尤蛔寽酚瓮苡?，他簡直是瘋了！”
當教練告訴他全州游泳比賽15歲及15歲以下男子組別的比賽時間和地點時，杰德覺得蛙泳選手非他莫屬。他甚至告訴自己的家人，如果沒有他，這支隊伍無法取勝。
當教練選擇了來自斯普林菲爾德的新人湯姆·蒂蒙斯游蛙泳時，杰德簡直難以置信。羅伯遜教練告訴杰德，他可以游接力賽，但這絲毫安慰不了他。
“我也許會離開這支隊伍，”他對羅布說，“我寧可不去游，也不游接力”。
“我不知道你是否應(yīng)該這樣做，”羅布說，“接力隊需要你。當然，如果你說自己實在不想游，教練或許會改主意，讓你游蛙泳”。
杰德離開羅布朝家走去。他知道，如果告訴家人和朋友別人頂替了自己的位置，那該多尷尬呀。他盤算著是否應(yīng)該編個故事，告訴爸爸媽媽是他請求教練啟用新人的。杰德不知如何是好。
