Today, roller skating (滑旱冰) is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making instruments. In his free time he liked to play the violin. Merlin was a man with many ideas and many dreams. People called him a dreamer.

One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.

Merlin tried different ways to make he roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.

On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating. He rolled on, playing the violin. Then, with all eyes on him, Merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall. The mirror broke into many pieces with a very loud noise.

You might not have guessed it would happen. The whole basketball world has been shocked by it. Who would have thought the US Dream Basketball team would be knocked out of the World Basketball Championship and finish sixth --- on home soil?

“No doubt that we made history, although it wasn’t the type of history we wanted to make,” said US forward(前锋) Ben Wallace.

There were dozens of reasons for the failure of the US team: the team hardly practiced and was unfamiliar with the international rules and style of play; the dunk(扣篮) has become so important in the US game that there is less emphasis on learning the basics of playing basketball; the gap is narrowing between US basketball and the rest of the world.

Another obvious, and disappointing fact is that the All-American Dream Team was not quite as dreamy as previous(先前的) US teams. While all other countries brought their best, there were no American superstars that everyone was hoping to see: Shaquille O’Neal or Kobe Bryant.

The problem seems to be how to make the US players want to represent their country.

How can one take a group of multimillionaire basketball players and tell them that beating the Algerian Basketball National Team is a good way to spend part of their August and September?

George Karl, the coach of the US team said, “A loss by the US team sounds like a good way to do it.”

Yugoslavia won the competition on September 8th.

C. the All-American Dream Team lost the World Basketball Championship for the first time in history

D. the dreaming All-American Team lost the World Basketball Championship for the first time in history

2. Which team won championship this time?

A. the US team B. the Yugoslavian Team

C. the Algerian team D. not mentioned

3. All the following things account for the failure of the US team except the one that __________.

A. the US players didn’t know the basics of playing basketball

B. the US players didn’t do team work well

C. this US Dream Team wasn’t as well organized as the former ones

D. the US players didn’t care much about whether they would win or not

4. The passage doesn’t say so directly, but we can conclude from it that __________.

A. the US basketball has fallen behind that in some parts of the world

B. practice is needed for good teamwork no matter how well each player plays

C. the millionaire players of the US team were interested in beating the Algerian team
