　　When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships(奖学金)．The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memoria Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side．

　　At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city．Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly．As a first year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then．But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season．

　　From then on he simply got better．Some rival coaches(对方教练)used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to．Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop(棒棒糖)，Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups(擦板球)．Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans．

　　When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly．He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine．He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them．Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe．Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers．“People want you not for yourself,”Donohue warned him,“but because you’re a basketball player．Don’t forget that．”

Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.

A girl named Jenny once told me about her   36   in the world of Lose Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke  37   :

My  38    with my mom all started one day   39    she said to me sarcastically(讽刺地)，“Wow, you’re sure sassy today.” I   40   it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never   41    back to her. So every time she would say something   42    I disagreed with her I would just say, “Okay,  43    you want, Mom”

But I really got cold quickly. And my   44    began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s   45   ”and then went back to mop the floor.

“Don’t you ever   46   ?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was   47    upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I   48    her how important it was to me.

At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to   49   . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s   50    than fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a   51    to her.

After my blowup, we felt like we were   52    all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always   53    my feeling with her.

If you adopt Lose Win as your basic   54    toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be   55    your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.

The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.?

During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.?

In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.?

At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.?

If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains—taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.?

No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(症状).?

1. The writer offered _______ examples to support his argument.?

A. 4             B. 5            C. 6             D. 3

2. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage??

A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.?

B. Colds are not caused by cold.?

C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.?

D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already had one.

3. Arctic explorers may catch colds when ________.

A. they are working in the isolated Arctic regions?

B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather?

C. they are free from work in the isolated Arctic regions?

D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world

4. The passage mainly discusses ________.

A. the experiments on the common cold  

B. the fallacy about the common cold?

C. the reason and the way people catch colds

D. the continued spread of common colds
