There are many kinds of friends. Some are always    36  you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only   37 friends leave footprints.
  I shall always recall (回忆) the autumn and the girl with the  38  . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.
  It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves   39 on the cool  40 . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves,  41  to the sound of them.
  Autumn is a  42  season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me   43  . But one day, the sound of a violin   44  into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains.

  I had  46 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been   47 there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.
  Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building  48 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became   49 .  50 we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly

  “You must like violin.” she said.
  “Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
  Suddenly, a   52 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
  “I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that   53 me.” she said.
  “In fact, it was your playing   54 gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”
  The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a   55 —so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

It’s such a shame to lose a free throw. Playing in the court has pressure from the opponent, time, your teammates, the audience, and yourself. You have to shoot the ball despite all the pressures around. But with a free throw, you have the ball, no one will try to get it from you, and you have all the time to shoot the ball. But why is it that many players, even good shooters, miss most of their free throws? Maybe they need more practice or maybe they need to apply more ways to improve their free throw.

    Improve your player or your free throwing skills by following the tips below:

Make it personal. The truth is, there is no rule on how one should handle and throw the ball in a free throw. What matters is that the player should shoot the ball from the free throw line no matter how he does it. So when trying to improve your free throw shooting, better stick to what works the best for you. Do not copy other people’s techniques. Make it your own and leave those techniques as theirs.

Formulate (公式化) a repetitive way of shooting the ball. A free throw should be personalized. But it should also be repetitive. You should be able to repeat your free throw techniques whether you are in your court or in another court, whether you are energized or tired. You can’t say you have a personal free throw technique if you can’t repeat it over and over again.

Shoot at the same position and distance for every free throw. Basketball courts may be located in different places or maybe marked with different paint colors. But all of these courts maintain the same distance from the ring to the free throw line. Familiarize your perfect position when making your free throws. That should help you do your perfect throw.

1.Why do so many players fail to make a successful free throw?

A. Because they don’t have any special skills

B. Because they are lacking in practice and tips.

C. Because they are not so familiar with rules

D. Because many of them are green hands.

2.What can you do if you want to be a wonderful free thrower?

A. Learn from others.

B. Form your own throwing skills.

C. Keep active in the court.

D. Learn to throw in different locations.

3.The underlined word “ring” in the last paragraph may most probably mean “________”.

A. sound                               B. basket                               C. ball                           D. group

4.Which of the following might serve as the best title of the above passage?

A. How to play basketball successfully in the court.

B. How to improve your basketball throw skills.

C. How to gain more points in throwing.

D. How to improve your basketball free throwing.

Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular time for studying.

4. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.64_______. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will     remember it longer.
