So the chances were high that the basketball player Pau Gasol would consider entering the medical profession. At one point he nearly did, the Spaniard(西班牙人) completed one year of medical school at the University of Barcelona when he was 18.“Ive always been very interested in medicine and science,” Gasol, now 28, told the Los Angeles Times.” “I wanted to investigate and find remedies(治疗方案) for all the big illnesses that affect us. So thats why I ended up choosing medicine to study at the time.” Gasol was particularly interested in helping to find a cure for HIV, which the NBA star Magic Johnson contracted in the early 90s.However, Gasol gave up his medical career, when he had to choose between basketball and medicine. The dream of playing with Michael Jordan inspired him to reach the sports top league in 2001.“My idol was Michael Jordan. That s the king of guy I look up to and admire highly. Luckily, I played against him a few times in his last few years.”Gasol won the Rookie(新秀) of the Year award 2002. After seven seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies（灰熊队），he joined the Lost Angeles Lakers in February 2008. His arrival was widely welcomed and USA Today later wrote that Gasol was “the major factor in turning around a famous NBA club and making it cool to be a Lakers fan again.”Lakers has many superstars, headed by Kobe Bryant who is known for his big ego(自我) and somewhat selfish style on the court. But in less than a year, Gasol has become one of the few teammates Kobe trust. On several occasions, Lakerscoach Phil Jackson has praised Gasol highly for his “squad-first(球队第一) mentality.”“We all have to understand our roles whichever role that is and whats best for the team. You have to understand what you need to do, and know when not to do what you would like to do,” Gasol said. “Some nights, it might be getting four assists instead of scoring 10 or 15 points. Its just a matter of understanding that and doing the best for the best for the team and sacrificing yourself sometime.”56. Why did Pau Gasol take up medicine as his major in college?A. Both his parents expected him to do so.B. He once wished to find a remedy for HIV.C. He wanted to find cures for common diseases.D. He wanted to become a doctor for the NBA star Magic Johnson.57. Pau Gasol eventually chose basketball over medicine because _.A. he realized he had no talent in medicine after allB. he dreamed of playing with Michael JordanC. he admired the way Kobe plays in the LakersD. he wanted to play against Michael Jordan in his last few years58. The word “headed” in Paragraph 6 means closest to _.A. led B. influenced C. formed D. trained59. From the passage, we can conclude that Pau Gasol _.A. enjoys being the center of attention B. dislikes Kobes style on the court C. is willing to make sacrifices for his teamD. was not popular when playing with the Memphis GrizzlesB When was the last time your family sat down together to have a dinner? The speed at which we live today no longer allows for slow eating habits. Most people work long hours. There is lots of fast food and eating out is now on the increase. Often food is eaten in front of the television in silence, or a child eats alone in front of the computer. When I was a child, every evening around the same time, one of the children would be asked to set the table, and then wed go and wash our hands before the meal. This was the time of day when we would talk about our day at school. But now things have changed a lot. A family environment plays an important role for children in learning to communicate with others and understanding table manners, such as waiting for others to finish before leaving the table, and not speaking with a mouth full of food. Parents likes and dislikes of a certain food will also influence a childs own likes and dislikes. Studies have shown that children who often eat with their families have better results at school than children who eat with their families less than twice a week. Regular meal times give children the chance to discuss their problems with family members. They can also learn to respect others around the table. Talking to your children over dinner is the best way of having their trust. Children learn good eating habits from their parents at a very young age. Family meals are important. Prepare them for your children.60. Some families eat less together because _ . A. most children live in a school B. people are busy with their workC. table manners change a lot D. food in the restaurant is better 61. Children who often eat with their families_ . A. turn out to do better in their studies B. prefer to share food with others C. show concerns about families D. are interested in cooking62. Why dose the writer give her own example? A.

No matter what the occasion is, birthday, holiday or a special event, we make it a point to show we care by buying something nice for that special person. Well, the waste created by gift giving can really add up in the trash. Keep in mind that there are several ways that you can cut down on the remaining waste next time you buy that special someone a gift. Make sure that your gift will be used. Its almost impossible to make sure that the receiver will find your gift to their liking, but if you do your homework, you can be as sure as possible. Consider a gift wish list or just ask them, if youre really not sure. It may cut down on the surprise, but if they give a list of two or three things that theyd truly appreciate, then you can shop with the confidence that it wont end up in the garbage five minutes after its opened. When you buy a gift, make sure that its as eco-friendly as possible. Buy hemp(麻布) clothing, or products made with natural dyes(染料). Give the gift of donation. If you have no idea what to buy, then consider making a donation to a charity. Take into consideration their interests and passions and donate in their name. Make it or bake it. Give something that can be eaten or can be used, like some homemade vinegar or cookies. Homemade candles are very popular and can be made to be more eco-friendly than store-bought one Give a gift of your time. Offer babysitting services or a day of housecleaning. Most people would appreciate a little lessening of stress or responsibility on any given day. Wrap(包装) with care. The paper products you use for gift wrap should be recycled at the very least. Gift bags can be found made from recycled materials and can be reused over and over again for many gift giving occasions.68. According to Paragraph 2, when you need to give somebody a gift, youd better_. A. prepare a special one B. find out what they like in advance C. finish your school homework first D. shop for the gift confidently69.

If you are, you have got phobia (a very strong feeling of being afraid of something). Of all human fears, phobias may be the most uncontrollable. They are most often caused by a particular situation or object. In general, phobias can mainly be divided into three varieties. To begin with, agoraphobia is a fear of staying in strange surroundings, for example, an unfamiliar place, or an open areaSocial phobia refers to the anxiety people show when they have to stay or perform on social events, for instance, speaking in front of the class. Lastly, there are a wide range of specific phobias. People suffering from this kind of phobia are terrified of specific objects or creatures. such as spiders, perhaps to your surprise, clowns.
