When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters (花名册) will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stern happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010. The NBA is now planning to take China by storm. “Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,: said Stern. The strategy（战略）in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for more than 200 countries in 42 languages will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil. “It doesn’t matter where the players come from, al the NBA teams now know that they have to scout[揽得(人才)] internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers(同行). Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming – number one draft pick in 2003 – and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic – number two overall in this year’s draft – are icons(偶像) in-waiting. It is the ultimate revolution – the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball. 1．The underlined phrase “take China by storm” means that ______ ． A．NBA intends to make China its “marketing center” B．NBA is planning to set up some training centers in China C．there’ll be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against China men’s team D．The NBA’s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China 2．What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA? A．NBA is expecting more foreign players to join the league． B．China’s rapid development in sports affects NBA． C．Yao Ming has taken the place of Michael Jordan． D．The NBA will stop teaching the world how to play basketball． 3．When the writer talked of “home soil”, he was referring to ______． A．farms in the States B．native Americans C．the NBA training center D．the USA 4．Which of the following can be used as another good title for the passage? A．The Non-American Basketball Players B．NBA Is Coming to China C．The Foreign Ties That Bind the NBA D．NBA Is Making Great Progress |

I have been told in China, having a pet, particularly a dog, is often considered to be a status symbol because it shows the family can 36 to have an animal. It is different here.
In Canada it is 37 for people to have pets. Many people have dogs. Many others have cats and there are people who keep fish, birds or rabbits. Some keep what we call exotic pets. These might be ferrets, snakes or almost any other animal you can think of, although keeping 38 pets is often difficult and because it can also be hard on the animal. The keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law. Now, my wife and I live in a small town. We no longer have a 39 --- we live in an apartment. We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out 40 onto the balcony so cars are no longer an issue. She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more. The 41 will come when she dies and we no longer have a pet. We have had a pet for so long it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the house it will seem somehow 42 . On the other hand, we are getting older and given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we will ever have another after Callie goes. Cats are cutest, of course, when they are small kittens but a kitten is 43 for a longer time than we may have left.
I think having a pet is very good for a number of reasons. It helps to teach children how to look after a 44 creature, makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways, we depend on each other. For older people like me an animal is a 45 and a comfort to have around, a pet, properly treated, returns the favor by 46 unconditional love. Wouldn’t this world be a 47 place if people could learn how to do that.
