“Some day, there’ll be no Americans left in the NBA,” said 12-year-old Xing Tao, who joined his school team two weeks ago after watching Yao Ming in a televised NBA game, “The players will all be Chinese, like Yao.”

To China, Yao is a home-grown superstar who helped make the world’s first basketball league closer to Chinese players. To the NBA, the 2.23-meter center offers an opening of a different sort into the world’s largest new market. Yao’s NBA first appearance against the Indiana Pacers in October reached 287 million families in the US. That game might have been a bit of a letdown to Yao’s fans: He played just 11 of the 48 minutes, had two rebounds(籃板) and got no points. Comparing that with his performance on December 19, also against Indiana, Yao won 29 points and 10 rebounds. “This was one of the most exciting games I’ve had,” Yao said after Houston’s 95-83 victory. The NBA has to be excited about his on-count success. In all his games, he’s averaging 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds, quite good for a new star. “Yao Ming has brought the NBA closer to the Chinese,” said NBA spokeswoman Cheong Sau Ching, “That makes the dream seem practical for other people in China and proud to be Chinese.”

The 22-year-old Yao is not the country’s first player in the NBA: Wang Zhizhi broke down the Dallas Mavericks in November 2003. But Yao’s combination of modesty and skills make him a favorite back home.

1.What’s the direct reason for Xing Tao to join the school basketball team?

A. He watched an NBA game

B. He liked basketball.

C. He hoped to play for the NBA.

D. He had dream that he would become a basketball star.

2.How many points did Yao Ming win in his first game in the NBA?

A. zero           B. two           C. 29          D. 10

3.What does the word “l(fā)etdown” in line 4, Paragraph 2 mean?

A. failure          B. surprise       C. disappointment             D. sadness.

4.Why does Yao Ming win more popularity than Wang Zhizhi at home?

A. He is modest and performs excellently.

B. He is too kind to others.

C. More and more Chinese people like to watch his games.

D. He is very modest but proud.

5.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Middle school students want to play basketball

B. Yao Ming makes NBA closer to China.

C. There’ll be no Americans left in the NBA

D. There are many new stars from China in the NBA.

F.Exploring the Deep Blue Sea
If you love the ocean why not take a deep water expedition, with trips in submersibles (潛水器) to wrecks (失事船) such as the Bismark, the Titanic and the HMS Breadalbane under the Arctic. Plus see amazing marine life — for holidays offering real adventure these are hard to beat.

【小題4】Boris is always dreaming of flying to the moon one day in the future. He always worships those who have ever had an adventure in space. Of course, it is, as he himself knows, not so easy to realize such a big dream, for that needs to be athletic enough to get trained in all ways before going into space.
【小題5】Emma likes drawing very much, but she has hardly considered to be an artist one day. Instead, she wishes to be admitted to a famous university and learn the science of designing and constructing buildings, which also needs one’s ability of drawing.

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the   52   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(無可奈何) for seeing me   53   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54   living.
