     Finally, there is the evolution of Yao's mind. He has become a wise man who has devoted time and
money into life after the NBA.
     Yao said he did not only see his investment in the current CBA system in purely financial terms, but
also as a way to support the development of basketball in China and return the favour to Shanghai for
looking after him in his early days.
     A few days before our most recent interview, Yao was asked to attend an award ceremony for top
athletes in China. He realised his superstar friends and fellow athletes were often forced to take lowpaying jobs because they had little formal education.
     As boss of the Shanghai Sharks, Yao has invited both teachers and mentors to help his players better
manage their financial futures.
     Another of Yao's problems has been balancing the knowledge he has gained in the NBA with the
traditions of home.
     As head of the Sharks he has to consider what's best for his team, even if it means hurting some of his
closest friends. Like his first coach, Li Qiuping, who was in hospital when Yao told him he was going to
have to replace him with an American coach.
     Navigating traditional Chinese society, he said, can be tricky at times. He sometimes wistfully thinks
back to his early days, when he just played basketball. Even so, he never shies away from the challenge.
     When I think about these aspects of Yao's life, I admire him as an example of someone who is
downtoearth and has not let fame go to his head.
      As Yao will enter a new phase in his life, his 30s, fatherhood, returning to the NBA, and the next step
in his career as manager, he shows the courage to make a difference in the world.
     Yang Lan One On One is shown on Shanghai Dragon TV, Sat.23:10 PM.

　　A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It's remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news fin local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特寫) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music . A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modem newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (時(shí)事性) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appeals in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暫的) value. For all these reasons, not two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

1．A modem newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ________.

[　　]

A．wide coverage

B．uniform style

C．speed in reporting news

D．popularity

[　　]

A．people scan for the news they are interested in

B．different people prefer different newspapers

C．people are rarely interested in the same kind of news

D．people have different views about what a good newspaper is

3．It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)pply reading techniques skillfully

B．jump from one newspaper to another

C．a(chǎn)ppreciate the variety of a newspaper

D．usually read a newspaper selectively

4．The best title for this passage would be ________.

[　　]

A．The Importance of Newspaper Topically

B．The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper

C．The Variety of a Good Newspaper

　　By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (蝰蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other kinds of poisonous snakes. It can be found almost anywhere, but it prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.

　　Most people regard snakebites as deadly, but not an bites are serious, and very few are deadly. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with someone heroically, but mistakenly, trying do - it - yourself surgery and other unnecessary measure.

　　All shakes have small teeth, so it follows that all shakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them .The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.

　　The effect of a bite varies considerable. It depends upon several things, One of which is the body - weight of person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults.

閱讀理解
     Many kids turn up their noses at the thought of eating fish because, well, it can smell "fishy". While it
is usually a healthy source of protein in the diet, there may be several reasons to avoid biting into a forkful
of fish. Before you break out the tartar sauce, learn some facts about fish to keep yourself and the
environment healthy.
     Some fish may contain harmful chemicals, which can be the result of both natural causes and water
pollution. Mercury is a poisonous chemical, which occurs naturally in oceans and the Earth's crust, but
also comes from manmade sources, such as pesticides, burning garbage, and the releasing of fossil fuels.
     Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a group of chemicals, can also be found in some fish. These
dangerous manmade chemicals were used in many industries until 1977, when they were banned. PCBs
were released or leaked into the air and water and have been transported around the globe.
    How do mercury and PCBs end up in fish and the food supply? When they are released into the air,
they attach themselves to particles. These particles settle on the ground and in the water and are
eventually eaten by microscopic organisms. Small fish eat the microorganisms, and large fish eat the small
fish and on up the food chain.
     Because they can negatively affect your health, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency advises
that kids younger than 15 years old avoid fish that contain high levels of mercury and PCBs. These
include shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish.
     There are also many types of fish that are good for you, but because of overfishing are in danger of
being wiped out. Some are being fished in the wild so much that they cannot reproduce fast enough to
survive. Others are being farmed in ways that are not environmentally friendly. These fish include red
snapper, Atlantic salmon, blue fin tuna, and king crab.
     Despite these problems, there are several fish that are both healthy and sustainable, such as Alaskan
salmon, American catfish, Pacific cod, and several farmraised fish and shellfish.
【文章大意】 魚雖富含蛋白質(zhì), 但本文卻建議小孩子不要吃魚以及說明了其中的原因.
