However，some players complained right away that the new balls bounced differently and were actually harder to control than the leather ones．
Physics helped answer questions about why the new balls felt different．For example，the scientists studied friction（摩擦力），which in this case affects the ability of a player to hold onto a ball．"The greater the friction，the better it will stick to his hand，"explains a scientist．
Tests on both wet and dry balls showed that while the synthetic ball was easier to hold onto when dry，it had less friction and became much harder to hold onto when wet．That's because sweat（汗水） stays on the surface of the synthetic balls but gets taken into the leather balls．
The scientists also tested bounce and found that the logo （商标）printed on the new balls made their surface uneven（不平） and caused them to bounce a little strangely com- pared with the leather balls．
In January，the NBA went back to using the leather bails．They aren't perfect，but for now，that's just the way the ball bounces．
1．Why were the synthetic balls expected to be used in NBA according to the text?
A．Because they are easier to control． B．Because they waste less material．
C．Because they look exactly alike． D．Because they feel and bounce alike．
2．The ball is easier to hold on to_________
A．when friction is greater B．when friction is less
C．when it is heavier D．when it bounces strangely
3．The synthetic ball bounces differently from the leather one mainly because _________
A．it is wet B．it is dry
C．there's a logo on it D．its weight remains the same
4．It can be inferred（推断） from the text that _________．
A．a synthetic ball takes in water faster than a leather ball
B．a leather ball is more difficult to make than a synthetic one
C．a synthetic ball is more expensive than a leather ball
D．a leather ball may increase its weight during a game
5．The underlined word" They" in the last paragraph refers to __________．
A．the synthetic balls B．the leather balls
C．the ball players D．the scientists
查看习题详情和答案>>When I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am. When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clear path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.
As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment（义务）, work ethic（道德） and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way—putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.
I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. And I always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顾客).
I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other workmates, where I became a CEO.
Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they're not, you're really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.
