I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over．Now l think it's time．

Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium．After it ran，I got a call from a marl in the western suburbs．He said，“I read what you wrote about Jordan．but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw．”

Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.

A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty .neighborhood?

"Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four."

And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?

"Everything,” Jordan said. " Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they're paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it."

It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to tuna against Jordan as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.

One in five American families will move every year. Moving is one of the most stress-producing events a family has to go through. Experts say it can be harder for children. How do you help your child adjust to the changes?

The Ricardos moved from their old house to a new home. Same family, same dog-but it was harder for 9-year-old Elena. She hated the room, the house and everything. She hated leaving her friends the most.

“ I was so emotional. I mean, saying goodbye to all my friends…..my very close friends, who was my neighbor, made me so sad,” says Elena.

For some children, the emotional stress of moving is not much more different from the emotions when someone has died.

“There’s that sense that, ‘I’ve lost my friends, my friends, my base, my school, my teachers-everything I knew that made me feel safe is all gone now. I have to start over,” says Dr. Tim Jordan.

Starting over is exactly Dr. Tim Jordan’s advice. Make new friends, enter the new school and enter the new neighborhood. And here are some other pieces of advice.

● Explain clearly to the children why the move is necessary.

● Familiarize(使熟悉) the children as much as possible with the new area with maps, photographs or the daily newspaper.

● After the move, got the children to join in activities in the place.

● Help the children keep in touch with friends from the neighborhood before through telephone, letters, e-mail, and personal visits.

1.

Which of the following is useful to reduce the children’s stress before the move?

A. Let doctors give children some advice.

B. Try letting children accept the fact of moving.

C. Let children keep in touch with their former friends.

D. Copy the new environment in the old home.

2.

What can we know from the passage?

A. Most American children can get used to the changes in moving.

B. Dr. Tim Jordan lost his family, friends, teachers after moving.

C. The emotional stress of moving is the same in some way as that of knowing someone’s death.

D. the Ricardos lost their dogs after moving to their new house.

3.

The passage mainly wants to _____

A. tell parents the reasons of moving. B. explain the reasons of stress.

C. give parents some advice on moving. D. teach parents how to move.
