He was cut from the freshman basketball team,and after he made the freshman baseball team,he went an entire season without ? hit. Despite these setbacks,he never gave up.

    By the time Abbott went to college,he could throw a baseball almost 90 miles per hour. His team,the Michigan Wolverines,won two league champion-ships (聯(lián)賽冠軍) while he was pitching for it.

Abbott played on the United States’ gold-medal winning baseball team there.

Instead,he continued playing with determination,and in 1993,he pitched a no-hitter for the Yankees. The opposing team,the Cleveland Indians,got no hits and scored only one run. A no-hit game is a rare event in baseball. Abbott continued playing until 1999,when he retired. Throughout Abbott’s life,he refused to give up for tjie people who loved him and also for himself.

  If you drop a feather and a hammer ( 鐵錘） , which do you think will hit the ground first?

  The moon has no 37 to slow a falling object. But it does have gravity. The moon's gravity is 38than Earth's,since the,moon is smaller. But it's still strong enough for dropping things.

  And sure enough,when Scott let the hammer and the feather drop,they hit the ground 一 exactly 39.

    learning how to see Words


    Each time we see the familiar or same thing,we should see something new.

    In high school,I had a teacher who made me aware of this concept,although it took many years before I appreciated it fully.

    One day,Mrs. Lambert,my English teacher,brought in several baskets filled with all kinds of stuff. Each of us took something and wrote a composition about it for homework. The next day,the baskets reappeared,and we were instructed to select the same object. This time we had to write a composition about the object without repeating anything from the first one.

    Over the next few days the same thing happened,with each day bringing an increasing sense of (失意) as we tried to see something new in a familiar object. I will never forget the last piece I wrote about my blue and white Delft fisher boy. After struggling to find something different to say,I got inspired to write a poem. It allowed me to see beyond the porcelain ( figure and into the 從sence (本質(zhì)) of the character. Mrs. Lambert had shown me how to use my own eyes and creativity to see what I otherwise would have looked at and dismissed.

    Fifty years later,as I remember Mrs. Lambert,I wonder,are schools today showing kids how to use their own eyes to see beyond the superficial and into the essence of things? This,I believe,is the most important lesson a child can take into adulthood.

True (T) or False (F) :

1. Mrs. Lambert used to give her students too much homework.()

2. It can be inferred from the text that the author is thankful to Mrs. Lambert. ()
