                                                Jordan Makes Basketball Hall of Fame
     Last Monday, the former Chicago Bulls great was elected to the 2009 Basketball Hall of' Fame class,
adding another honor to his long list of accomplishments. With incredible acrobatic (特技的) moves and
slam dunks (灌籃), Jordan was a 14-time NBA All-Star, a five-time NBA finals Most Valuable Player and
the key figure on the 1992 US Olympic gold medal "Dream" Team.
     Jordan retired twice during his 15-year career, and finished with 32 292 points, the third-highest total
in NBA history behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. His career average of 30.12 points per game
is the best in the league's history.
     Although his career boasts (擁有) many glories, Jordan said entering the ball was what he never imagined.
"I don't like being up here for the Hall of Fame, because at that time, your basketball career is completely
over."Jordan said during a news conference. "Iwas hoping this day was coming in 20 more years, or that I'd
actually go in when I'm dead and done."
     According to the Chicago Tribune, as Jordan accepted a Hall of Fame Jersey (運動衣), he turned to his
former competitors David Robinson and John Stockton, who were also among the class of 2009, and
threatened another comeback.
     "Every time I see these guys, I want to put my shorts on," said Jordan, 46, whose age has decreased
everything but his desire.
     His father once said that passion was what made his son special. From the moment he started playing
games, Michael had to win. Once, Jordan traveled everywhere and anywhere to feed that competitive urge.
     "He doesn't have a gambling problem" his father said, "What he does have is a competition problem. He
was born with that. The person he tries to outdo (超過) most of the time is himself."
1. This passage is mainly about _____.
[     ]
A. everything Jordan has achieved in his life
B. the contribution Jordan has made to basketball
C. how Jordan grew to be a popular basketball player
D. why Jordan deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and his reaction
2. From what Jordan said during the news oonference, we know that he _____.
[     ]
A. dislikes the honor because it makes him feel old
B. hates the new honor because it's not worth much
C. thinks the honor has been given to him too early
D. is planning a comeback to show his basketball career is not over
3. Paragraphs l and 2 are written to _____.
[     ]
A. analyze what basketball skills Jordan is famous for
B. show how popular Jordan used to be in America
C. introduce what contributions Jordan made to Chicago Bulls
D. explain why Jordan is considered a great basketball player
4. What can we conclude from the passage?
[     ]
A. Michael Jordan's continuous efforts to outdo himself made him great.
B. Michael Jordan thinks playing basketball is like gambling.
C. Michael Jordan has gradually lost his desire to play, as he has grown older.
D. However great a player is, there is an end to his best time.

     "Glad to find you so merry, my girls," said a cheery voice at the door, and actors and audience turned to
welcome a tall, motherly lady with a "Can I help you" look about her which was truly delightful. She was not
elegantly dressed, but a noble-looking woman, and the girls thought the gray cloak (斗篷) and unfashionable
bonnet (寬檐帽) covered the most splendid mother in the world.
     "Well, dearies, how have you got on today? There was so much to do, getting the boxes ready to go
tomorrow, that I didn't come home to dinner. Has anyone called, Beth? How is your cold, Meg? Jo, you look
tired to death. Come and kiss me, baby."
     While making these maternal (母性的) inquires, Mrs. March got her wet things off, her warm slippers on,
and sitting down in the easy chair, drew Amy to her lap, preparing to enjoy the happiest hour of her busy day.
The girls flew about, trying to make things comfortable, each in her own way. Meg arranged the tea table.
Jo brought wood and set chairs, dropping, over-turning, and clattering everything she touched. Beth trotted
(小跑) to and fro between parlor (客廳) and kitchen, quiet and busy, while Amy gave directions to everyone,
as she sat with her hands folded.
     As they gathered about the table, Mrs. March said, with a particularly happy face,"I've got a treat for you
after supper."
    A quick, bright smile went round like a streak of sunshine. Beth clapped her hands, regardless of the biscuit
she held, and Jo tossed up her napkin, crying, "A letter! A letter! Three cheers for Father!"
     "Yes, a nice long letter. He is well, and thinks he shall get through the cold season better than we feared. He
sends all sorts of loving wishes for Christmas, and an especial message to you girls," said Mrs. March, patting
her pocket as if she had got a treasure there.
     "Hurry and get done! Don't stop to quirk your little finger and simper (傻笑) over your plate, Amy," cried
Jo, choking on her tea and dropping her bread, butter side down, on the carpet in her haste to get at the treat.
     Beth ate no more, but crept (躡手躡足地走) away to sit in her shadowy corner and brood (細想) over the
delight to come, till the others were ready.
     "I think it was so splendid in Father to go as chaplain (牧師) when he was too old to be drafted (被征入
伍), and not strong enough for a soldier," said Meg warmly.
     "Don't I wish I could go as a drummer? Or a nurse, so I could be near him and help him." exclaimed Jo,
with a groan.
     "It must be very disagreeable to sleep in a tent, and eat all sorts of bad-tasting things, and drink out of a tin
mug," sighed Amy.
     "When will he come home, Marmee?" asked Beth, with a little quiver in her voice.
     "Not for many months, dear, unless he is sick. He will stay and do his work faithfully as long as he can,
and we won't ask for him back a minute sooner than he can be spared. Now come and hear the letter."
     They all drew to the fire, Mother in the big chair with Beth at her feet, Meg and Amy perched on either arm
of the chair, and Jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should
happen to be touching. Very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially
those which fathers sent home. In this one little was said of the hardships endured, the dangers faced, or the
homesickness conquered. It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches,
and military news, and only at the end did the writer's heart overflow with fatherly love and longing for the
little girls at home.

1. What did the girls do after their mother arrived home?
A. They asked her to make dinner.
B. They told her about their day.
C. They got boxes ready to go for the next day.
D. They tried to make her comfortable.
2. The girls' father had not been drafted because he______.
A. was too old
B. had been injured
C. was a chaplain
D. had children
3. What was most likely keeping the girls' father away from home?
A. A storm.
B. A battle.
C. A sickness.
D. A job.
4. Why did Jo most likely sit with her back toward everyone while listening to the letter?
A. To show her sisters that she is angry
B. So that she can sit more comfortably
C. So that she has enough light to read
D. To hide her feelings from her sisters
5. The letter is compared to a treasure to show _______. 
A. that mother was teasing the girls
B. the value of the letter to the girls
C. that mother had money in her pocket
D. the mother's love for the girls
6. In paragraph 3, the word "inquiries" means _______.
A. scolding
B. questions
C. lessons
D. arrivals

     "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
     "It's so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
     "I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added
little Amy, with an injured sniff.
     "We've got father and mother and each other," said Beth, contentedly.
     The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly: "We haven't got father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps
never", but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.
     Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone: "You know the reason mother
proposed not having any presents this Christmas was because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering so in the army. We
can't do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I am afraid I don't";
and Meg shook her head, and she thought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.
     "But I don't think the little we should spend would do any good. We've each got a dollar, and the
army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but
I do want to buy UNDINE AND SINTRAM for myself; I've wanted it so long," said Jo, who was a
bookworm.
     "I planned to spend mine on new music," said Beth, with a little sigh.
     "I shall get a nice box of Faber's drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy, decidedly.
     "Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything. Let's each
buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we work hard enough to earn it," cried Jo, examining
the heels of her shoes in a gentlemanly manner.
     "I know I do-teaching those tiresome children nearly all day when I am longing to enjoy myself at
home," began Meg, in the complaining tone again.
     "You don't have half such a hard time as I do," said Jo. "How would you like to be shut up for hours
with a nervous, fussy old lady, who is never satisfied, and worries you till you're ready to fly out of the
window or cry?"
     "It's naughty to fret; but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the
world. It makes me cross; and my hands get so stiff, I can't practice well at all"; and Beth looked at her
rough hands with a sigh that anyone could hear.
     "I don't believe any of you suffer as I do." cried Amy, "for you don't have to go to school with
impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label
your father if he isn't rich."
     "If you mean libel, I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if papa was a pickle-bottle," advised Jo,
laughing.
     "I know what I mean, and you needn't be satirical about it. It's proper to use good words, and
improve your vocabulary," returned Amy, with dignity.
     "Don't peck at one another, children. Don't you wish we had the money papa lost when we were
little, Jo? Dear me! How happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!" said Meg, who could
remember better times.
     "You once said you thought we were a deal happier than the King children, for they were fighting
and fretting all the time, in spite of their money."
     "So I did. I think we are; for, though we do have to work, we make fun for ourselves, and are a pretty
jolly set, as Jo would say." Jo immediately sat up, put her hands in her pockets, and began to whistle.
     "Don't, Jo; it's so boyish!"
     "That's why I do it."
     "I detest rude, unladylike girls!"
     "I hate affected, niminy-piminy chits!"
     "Birds in their little nests agree" sang Beth, the peacemaker, with such a funny face that both sharp
voices softened to a laugh, and the `pecking' ended for that time.
1. According to the passage, who is the most pessimistic and who the most optimistic?
A. Jo; Amy
