Jordan Makes Basketball Hall of Fame
Last Monday, the former Chicago Bulls great was elected to the 2009 Basketball Hall of Fame class, adding another honor to his long list of accomplishments. With incredible acrobatic (特技的) moves and slam dunks(灌篮), Jordan was a 14-time NBA All-Star, a five-time NBA finals Most Valuable Player and the key figure on the 1992 US Olympic gold medal “Dream” Team.
Jordan retired twice during his 15-year career, and finished with 32,392 points, the third-highest total in NBA history behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. His career average of 30.12 points per game is the best in the league’s history.
Although his career boasts(拥有)many glories, Jordan said entering the hall was what he never imagined. “I don’t like being up here for the Hall of Fame, because at that time, your basketball career is completely over.” Jordan said during a news conference. “I was hoping this day was coming in 20 more years, or that I’d actually go in when I’m dead and done.”
According to the Chicago Tribune, as Jordan accepted a Hall of Fame Jersey(运动衣), he turned to his former competitors David Robinson and John Stockton, who were also among the class of 2009, and threatened another comeback.
“Every time I see these guys, I want to put my shorts on,” said Jordan, 46, whose age has decreased everything but his desire.
His father once said that passion was what made his son special. From the moment he started playing games, Michael had to win. Once, Jordan traveled everywhere and anywhere to feed that competitive urge.
“He doesn’t have a gambling problem.” His father said, “What he does have is a competition problem. He was born with that. The person he tries to outdo(超过)most of the time is himself.”

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I was to thank you for teaching me a very 16 lesson in life by the great example you 17 . When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had 18 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any 19 , you went over and put the 20 $ 2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 21 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 22 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 23 this.”
Last week, a young man 24 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 25 money to pay for his petrol. I asked money collector, “How much 26 is he?” she told me he had meant to put $ 15 of petrol in his car 27 he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15 28 , which came to just over 29 . That is an easy mistake 30 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 31 you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 32 and said, “but why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s 33 to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 34 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it 35 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always, Mum

Scientists find that hard,working people live longer than average men and women. Career(职业) women are healthier than housewives.Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the jobholders.An investigation (调查) shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health?It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness and solitude (孤单).Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement.Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.
