1.1Much to Live For
There is so much I have not been, so much I have not en. I have not thought and have not done or felt enough—the early sun, rain and the asonal delight of flocks of ducks and gee in flight, the mysteries of late-at-night. I still need time to read a book, write poems, paint a picture, look at scenes and faces dear to me. There is something more to be of value—something I should find within mylf—as peace of mind, patience, grace an
d being kind. I shall take and I shall give, while yet, there is so much to live for—rainbows, stars that gleam, the fields, the hills, the hope, the dreams, the truth that one must ek. I’ll stay here— treasure every day and love the world in my own way!

asonal delight: 季节性的喜悦 grace: 魅力，优雅 gleam: 闪光；闪耀
1.2 Yao Ming: New Center Style
If 20 years ago you asked the average American basketball fan if a Chine man could play center for an NBA team, his answer might have sounded something like this: “Ha ha. No, he’d be too short!” But now, the doubters are silent. Who clod their mouths? Houston Rockets, 2.26-meter-tall center Yao Ming, from China. Yao Ming grew up in a family of basketball players. When he was 12, Yao Ming started going to an athletics academy outside of Shanghai and later spent a lot of time studying NBA games televid in China.All this has paid off. Yao’s first NBA honor was his ranking as number-one draft p
ick, and he’s been elected for a Rookie-of-the-Month award. Yao Ming has a style different from tho of tall centers in the past. He rarely goes for the flashy slams. He’d rather show off his silk-smooth free-throw shots, or u his height to pop in jump shots from the three-point line.

1.3 Tall Tale
A friend told me this story. He can stretch the truth a bit, so I’m not sure whether to believe him. But on the other hand, truth can be stranger than fiction! What do you think? Two brothers were watching a horror film on video late one night. One brother dozed off and dreamed that he was being chad by the crazy man from the movie, who was trying to kill him. In the dream, he hid in a cupboard. There was no sound except his heart pounding, and he had no idea where his crazed captor was. He was terrified! At that moment, the video finished, and his brother put his hand on the shoulder of his sleeping sibling to wake him. The shock at that ten moment was enough that the sleeping brother suffered a massive heart attack and died instantly.
