阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。
A
The first time I saw Carlos, I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid.It was Carlos.
"My, you're tall," he exclaimed. Of course, the class began to laugh.Annoyed, I walked to my seat without a word.
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest.That would be the last straw.To my relief.Reed was studying and did not seem to be aware of it.I didn't know why I considered Reed my friend.Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I.
"Take that seat," Mr.McCarthy told the newcomer, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.
Carlos smiled broadly."But I need a couple of dictionaries." Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him.He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.
It was the school election that made me think of Carlos again.Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president."How come?" I kept asking myself."How come this shrimp (虾) who's only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"
So when I met Carlos this morning, I said to him, "It doesn't seem to bother you — being short, I mean." He looked up at me."Of course I mind being short.But there isn't anything I can do about it.When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it.My motto is — don't be afraid to be yourself."

“Some day, there will be no Americans left in the NBA.” Said 12-year-old Xing Tao, who joined his school’s team two years ago, after watching Yao in a televised NBA game. “The players will all be Chinese, like Yao!”

To China Yao is a home-grown superstar who helped make the world’s first basketball league closer to Chinese players. To the NBA, the 2.23-metre centre offers an opening of a different sort into the world’s largest new market.

Yao’s NBA first appearance against the Indiana Pacers in October reached 287 million households in China. By contrast (对照), there are only about 105 million households in the US. That game might have been a bit of a let down to  Yao’s fans. He played just 11 of the 48 minutes, had two rebounds and got no points.

Compare that with his performance on December 19, and also against Indiana, Yao won 29 points and 10 rebounds. “This was one of the most exciting games I’ve had,” Yao said after Houston’s 95-83 victory.

“Yao Ming has brought the NBA closer to the Chinese,” said NBA spokeswoman Cheong Sau Ching, who is based in Hong Kong. “That makes the dream seem achievable for other people in China.”

The 22-year-old Yao is not the country’s first player in the NBA; Wang Zhizhi broke down that wall as a player with the Dallas Mavericks(小牛队)in April 2001. But Yao’s combination of modesty and his skills make him a favourite back home.

60.What’s the direct reason for Xing Tao to join the school’s basketball team?

A.He watched an NBA game

B.He liked basketball

C.He hoped to play for Houston Rockets

D.He had a dream that he would become a basketball star.

61.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.Middle school students want to play basketball

B.Yao Ming makes NBA closer to China

C.There’ll be no Americans left in the NBA

D.There are many new stars from China in the NBA

62.What does “letdown” in paragraph six mean?

A.failure        B.surprise      C.disappointment     D.sadness

63.Why does Yao Ming win more popularity than Wang Zhizhi at home?

A.He has performed excellently            B.He is modest   

C.His height                           D.A & B
