My father worked abroad, so I was sent to a boarding school when I was seven. I arrived with one suitcase, my only luggage for a term. I was shown to the dormitory where I had to sleep with five other boys, which I couldnt stand. I remember that my first lesson was maths, and every day I had to study algebra, and geometry. But I hate them because they were all great puzzles to me. But we had a great English teacher, who had plenty of time for us boys and inspired my life-long love for literature. There was also a teacher of botanical science, who introduced me to my interest for flowers and plants. We spent hours studying the structure of leaves under the microscope. School rules were strict. Being on time for classes was essential, and no one was allowed to be late. Sport was a must, and every week we had to go for a five-kilometre run, wearing just a T-shirt and a pair of shorts even on freezing cold November days. We all had to attend a morning meeting every weekday, except boys of other faiths, who were allowed to stay in their classrooms. I wanted to become a Catholic simply so I could stay with my books! I left the school eleven years later, and I was free again.( ) 21. The passage is about _.A. the writers first day at school B. the writers childhood C. the writers schooldays D. the writers life( ) 22. The writers favourite subjects were _.

He wants Yao Ming to be like other players. Star players, says Gundy, are “selfish” and want the ball all the time. “In other words,” he said. “When they ask for the ball, they dont say please!” Yao, however, is a selfless and kind person. He has been brought up and trained in this way. It is not in his nature to be “selfish” 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 the talented Chinese player to be the center of his team. To do this, he told Yao to be more aggressive and, if necessary, to be rude to his teammates. “Hes a wonderful guy, he has every physical basketball skill and he considers the team first,” Van Gundy said. “But I want him to be a star, not just a great team player. Hes got to think that hes the best player out there. That way, he can dominate the game.” “At first, I didnt really understand what the coach wanted,” Yao said. “But now I do. In China, everyone gave me the ball, so I didnt have to ask! Here, I have to be a little impolite! Im not quite used to it yet. If you give me a little time, I can get more used to it. I have to learn to be a little more selfish.”( ) 25. When Yao Ming first arrived in the US, _.
