Reading and Writing
Is Yao Ming Too Nice to Be a Star?
Jeff Van Gundy, the head coach of the Houston Rockets, has a dream. He wants Yao Ming to be like other players. Star players, says Gundy, are “lfish〞and want the ball all the time. “Let's put it this way，〞he said. “When they ask for the ball, they don't say ‘plea’！〞Yao, however, is a lfless and kind person. He has been brought up and trained in this way. It is not in his nature to be “lfish〞and “rude〞．
When he first arrived in the US, Yao was an instant hit among basketball fans nationwide. They all loved this kind, gentle but powerful giant. Van Gundy wanted to build his team around the talented Chine player. To do this, he told Yao to be more aggressive and, if necessary, to be rude to his teammates.
“He's a wonderful guy, he has every physical basketball skill and he puts the team first，〞Van Gundy said. “But I want him to be a star, not just a great team player. He's got to think that he's the best player out there. That way, he can dominate the game.〞
“At first, I didn't really understand what the coach wanted，〞Yao said. “But now I do. In China, everyone gave me the ball, I didn't have to ask! Here, I have to be a little ‘impolite’！I'm not quite u
d to it yet. If you give me a little time, I can get more ud to it. I have to learn
to be a little more ‘lfish’．〞
姚明太友好了而不能成为一个明星吗？
休斯敦队的首席教练杰夫·范·甘迪有一个幻想。他想让姚明能和其他队员一样。甘迪说，球星们是“自私〞的，而且始终盼望得到球。“我们这么说吧，〞他说。“当他们要球的时候，连‘请’都不说！〞
然而，姚明是一个无私而友善的人。他就是这样被带大和训练的。“自私〞和“无礼〞不是他的本性。
当姚明最初到达的时候，他立刻在全国范围内的篮球迷间引起了轰动。他们都宠爱这个友善、性格温柔而强有力的巨人。范·甘迪想围绕这位天才的中国队员建立自己的球队。为此，他告知姚明要更具有攻击性，并且假设有必要，对队友粗暴一些也无妨。
“他是个很优秀的小伙子，拥有全部的篮球技巧而且以球队为先，〞范·甘迪说。“但我想让他成为一名球星，而不只是宏大的球队队员。他要熟悉到自己是最好的队员。那样他才能掌握竞赛。〞
初一英语周记
“起初，我的确不明白教练的意图，〞姚明说。“但是现在我明白了。在中国，不必要求，大家都给我球！在这里，我不得不‘无礼’些！对此我仍旧不习惯。给我一点时间，我会渐渐习惯的。我必需学会多些‘自私’。〞

Dizzy Heights of School Basketball
英文邮箱Basketball is one of the safest sports. Unlike wrestling or boxing, it's not usually dangerous. One reason for this is that the players' energy is partly directed upwards, at a 90-degree angle to the ground, and over the heads of the others. So there's less risk of a collision between two players.
In other sports, such as baball and American football, the players' energy moves parallel to the ground and towards their opponents, so they wear helmets which give adequate protection to their heads.
But although basketball players wear socks and sneakers which
are specially designed to absorb energy when they bound into the air, they wear no other protection, just a vest and shorts. If there is an abrupt change of direction in their energy, from vertical to horizontal, such as when they accelerate across the court, bouncing the ball, there is a real danger of personal injury.
For example, in the Kent State High School Basketball tournament, Chandler High was playing St M
ary Central and at the interval the score was 50－52. But St Mary had appointed a captain who was not a typical basketball player. Whereas everyone el was tall and slim with short haircuts, Joe Johannn was short and stout, with long hair and a large belly. But he was really fast, and when he obtained control of the ball, he could make a circuit of the court and reach the opposing team's boundary within conds.
Anyhow, twelve minutes into the cond half, Frank Sackler, the Chandler star player, made a controversial pass over Joe's head. Joe stepped aside and dipped his head down. Sackler bounced off him and mitted a foul. The referee interrupted the match, and there was a suspension of play. But Joe was unhurt, shot the penalty, and the score was 88－90. There were three minutes to go.
Joe immediately took posssion of the ball and ran, ...and suddenly 80 kilos hit the Chandler star, who howled loudly in pain and fell, with his no bleeding and a cut on his left cheek. For a moment, he lay very still, and the referee even checked his pul, but soon confirmed he was OK. But when Sackler stood up he was dizzy, so they put a bandage round his head, a blanket round his shoulders, and called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Joe was a considerate guy, and apologid as Sackler left, sniffing and weeping, either in pain or in frustration.
magnatChandler scored with the penalty, and their teamwork had won the match. But Frank Sackler still has the scar on his face as a souvenir of the tournament.
学校篮球队里令人头晕目眩的大个子
篮球是最平安的体育运动之一。跟摔跤或拳击不一样，它往往没有危急性。缘由之一是队员们的力度局部朝上，与地面成90度的角，并且在其他队员的头上。所以两个队员之间很少有碰撞的危急。
在其他一些体育运动中，比方棒球和足球，队员的力度跟地面平行并且朝向对手，所以他们戴着头盔，以便对他们的头部进行足够的爱护。
当篮球队员跳向空中的时候，尽管他们穿着特制的短袜和胶底运动鞋以缓解力度，但除了背心和短裤他们没有别的防护品。例如，当他们拍着球加速穿过场地时，假设力度的方向发生了突然的变化——从垂直到水平，那么队员就真的有了受伤的危急。
例如，在肯特郡高中篮球联赛中，Chandler High对St Mary Central中场休息时的比分是50：52。但是此前，St Mary任命了一个并不具有代表性的篮球队员作队长。大家都又高又瘦，留着短发，而乔·约翰逊却又矮又粗大，留着长发，还有个大肚子。但是他跑得很快，当他获得控球权时，他能在几秒钟内巡行穿过场地到达对方球队的范围。
