My father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grew up without education. He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven. We wild area, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. I grew up there. There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went beyond “reading, writing, and adding”. If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to live for a time in the area, he was looked on as a wizard（奇才）. There was simply nothing to excite a desire for education. Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much still. Somehow, I could read, write and add, but that was all. The advance I have now made is upon this store of education, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.

Michael Jordan told me not to mention this until the season was over and I promised him at that time. Now I think it’s time.
Early last season, I wrote a column about an act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium. After it ran ,I got a call from a man 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? Has 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. “I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check whether they’re paying attention to their schoolwork. If it turns out 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, one more thing Jordan does right. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn 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.

A. become famous himself
B. know why Jordan appeared in a poor area
C. let the author know that Jordan was not that nice

62. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Jordan is not such a great person.
B. Jordan deserves the admiration he had from others.
C. Jordan is always ready to make friends with young people.
D. Jordan is always misunderstood by expert reviewers.
63. What does the underlined word “ran” probably mean?
A. Published. B. Finished. C. Disappeared. D. Drove
64. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the author wrote this passage?
A. He would like to keep the promise he had made.
B. He thought it was time to help the disabled children.

查看习题详情和答案>>write and that finally burst through and found a channel.My people were of the working class of people.
My father, a stonecutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration (崇敬) for literature.He had a
tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and the p
oetry that he loved best was naturally of therhetorical kind that such a man would like.Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet's Soliloquy,
Macbeth, Mark Antony's "Funeral Oration", Grey's "Elegy", and all the rest of it.I heard it all as a
child; I memorized and learned it all.
He sent me to college to the state university.The desire to write, which had been strong during all
my days in high school, grew stronger still.I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc.,
and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in play writing which had just been established
there.I wrote several little oneact plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man,
never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer.Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more
plays there, became obsessed with (着迷于) the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had
my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly
been able to determine.But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its
channel, I began to write my first book in London.I was living all alone at that time.I had two rooms-a
bedroom and a sitting room-in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked
brick and creamyellowplaster look.
