China lost an important World Cup game against Nigeria on that day. With the loss (失败), China was out of the 2019 International Basketball Federation (FIBA) World Cup. It may also lose a chance to join next years Tokyo Olympic Games.The loss was even sadder for fans of 31-year-old player Yi Jianlian. This maybe the last World Cup for the four-time Olympian and former NBA player.Yi is the leader of the Chinese mens national basketball team. He had big goals for his team before the international basketball competition started. “Eleven years ago we hosted (主办) the Beijing Olympics, and now we are hosting the FIBA World Cup,” he told China Daily, “Its a chance for all of us. You can feel the special duty when you see the national flag. Its very important for the national team to play in the World Cup in front of a home crowd.”With his country in mind, Yi was injured (受伤) in the game but still carried the team on his shoulders. He did everything he could against Nigeria and got 27 points all on his own during the game.But before the game ended, Yis ball was stopped and the teams loss was certain. He hit the ground and shouted with anger. Later, he said it was hard to accept the loss. “We cant give up because of the loss tonight. We still need to work harder in the future.” Yi said.Its still up in the air whether Yi will be able to play in a fifth Olympic next year. Either way, he is surely one of the greatest basketball players in China.23 .

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disneys cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nashs voice, he said”Stop! Thats our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickeys eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasnt a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.

I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.Deep, deep down ask yourself, “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who.

Dont break the law, but break the rules.I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that I couldnt be done. They said, “Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous body, youre overly developed.” They thought I wouldnt fit into movies. But I didnt listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it.Then I got my big chance in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.On that movie, the director said, “If we didnt have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said, “Ill be back” One of the famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy voice. It just shows that you should never listen to those who say you cant do something.Dont be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, Ive always been willing to fail. Dont be afraid of making decisions. You cant be frightened with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination.

One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman.

Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,” replied Martin. “How long will that take?” asked Pablo. Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years. “And then what” asked Pablo. “Well, thats the best part,” Martin said. “You will be able to retire, Buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”34 .

But where did most English names come from?Centuries ago, most people in England had only one name- their first name. In the 11th century, five or six of the 50 people in a village might be named William, and it was easy to get confused. But in the Middle Ages, people found a way to describe each person exactly. If there were four Williams in one village, one might be referred to as William the son of John. A second might be called William from the hill. A third,William the blacksmith（铁匠）. And a fourth, William the brown haired. In conversation, people might refer to the four Williams as William Johns son, William hill, William smith, and William brown.It was 300 or 400 years before the extra （ 附加的） names gradually developed into last names, orsurnames. They were passed on from generation to generation. By the 1300s, Robert, the son of Williamsmith, had the name Robert smith, even if he was not a blacksmith like his father. As the last name becamewidely accepted, the first letter was capitalized, as in Robert Smith. By the 15th century, most people of theupper and middle classes had surnames.Many surnames were based on father-son relations. The “son of” part was added to the fathers firstname, like Johnson, meaning Johns son. Sometimes it was shortened to just “s”, as in Jones or Evans.Surnames like Hill described the place where a person lived. They are the most common type of surname. A third kind of surname was based on a persons job. Forester was someone who looked after the forest. In the Middle Ages, occupation names such as Baker, Carpenter, and Miller became common. The fourth kind of surname was nickname（绰号）. A man whose surname was Bear might be as fierce as a bear.Have you ever wondered why some surnames are so common? The most common surname in theEnglish language is Smith. Being able to make metals（金属）into tools was an important skill in the MiddleAges, and many people were trained as blacksmiths. The most common American surnames are Smith,Johnson, William and Brown.38 . Where do many American names come from?39 . When did people find a way to describe each person exactly?40 . How long did it take for extra names to develop into last names?41 . What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?42 . Why were many people trained blacksmith in the Middle Ages?五、话题作文43 . 学生时代是最忙碌的学习时段，请你写一篇英文短文，记录你上周末的生活和学习情况。内容包括：1What things did you do last weekend？2What do you think of the things？作文要求：1内容充实，语句连贯，标点正确，书写清晰规范。抄袭范文不得分。2、短文内容中，不得出现自己的真实姓名、校名和班级。3、词数30-40个左右。_44 . 时光荏苒，转眼大家已经步入九年级。回想过去两年的初中生活，你是否觉得自己改变了许多？请你根据以下提示，以“Some Changes in My Life”为题写一篇英语短文，谈一谈自从上初中后，你在哪些方面发生了变化。提示：1.介绍你生活中的变化；2.你对这些变化的看法。要求：1.包括以上内容要点，可适当发挥，使短文连贯、通顺；2.80词左右，标题和开头已给出，不计入总词数。Some Changes in My LifeHow time flies!
