I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over.Now l think it"s time.
Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium.After it ran,I got a call from a marl in the western suburbs.He said,“I read what you wrote about Jordan.but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.”
Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.
A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty .neighborhood?
"Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four."
And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?
"Everything,” Jordan said. " Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they"re paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it."
It"s just one more part of Michael Jordan"s life one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to tuna against Jordan as they surely will, I"ll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.

A.he thought highly of Jordan"s deeds
B.he hated to see Jordan do something bad
C.he believed it was time to help the disabled
D.he felt sure he needn"t keep the promise then
小题2: A man in the western suburbs made a call to_______
A.know why Jordan stopped in a bad area
B.get a chance to become famous himself
C.let the writer know Jordan was not that nice
D.offer an example to show how Jordan helped others
小题3: Jordan talked with the boys because he _______.                     
A.needed their support
B.had promised to do so
C.liked to teach them to play basketball
D.wanted to make sure they all studied well
小题4: The text implies that Jordan is _______.

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family.Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can"t peel potatoes.I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing."You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told me. “And don"t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel bar to the next.When it was my turn, I shook my head.Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it.She hugged me, and I saw her "we"ll see about that" look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school.At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
"Now, pull up with your right arm," she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other arm.Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung (横档) I reached.I"d never forget the next time, crossing the rungs.I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room."Mom," I said, weeping, "none of the girls would dance with me."
For a long time, I didn"t hear anything.Then she said, "Oh, honey, someday you"ll be beating those boys off with a bat." Her voice was soft and weak.I glanced at her to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf.She had never let me see her tears.

            I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering in the real world. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for “real world” jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. At that early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. My desire to live abroad was so strong that I was willing to do anything anywhere.
Soon I learned about BUNAC, a program that seemed to be designed precisely for student with such interests. BUNAC offers work visas ( 签证 ) for students or recent graduates to work overseas. Of the six countries available, I chose England because of the language and opportunities for employment.
Two months after I graduated from college I went to Britain. I traveled throughout Europe for six weeks before arriving in London. I got to London on August 24, 1997 with a work visa, but no job or place to live. I have to admit it was pretty scary! The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday --- a Bank Holiday, a national holiday that everything is closed for the day. It wasn’t until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and I learned all about living and working in Britain, paying taxes, getting health insurance, traveling around Britain, finding accommodations and most importantly, finding a job. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and I needed to get my pay soon.
It turned out that finding a job was not so difficult. The BUNAC program is very well known in London and many employers participate in the program. As a result there are many employers in many different fields to choose from. My job search began when I chose three different business employers and faxed them my resume (简历). That first week I had three interviews. I accepted my first offer working for Merrill Lynch International Bank. The Merrill Lynch office I worked at was in a beautiful, old building located two blocks from Buckingham Palace. The people were nice and the work interesting.
It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after six months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended.
小题1: When the author studied at college she decided _________.
A.to enter the “real world” after graduation
B.to go and work in a foreign country

A.it is a beautiful country and people there are nice
B.England is spoken there and it is easy to find a job
C.it is in Europe, not far from her own country
D.the BUNAC office is located there
小题3: After the author arrived in London, what worried her most was ________.
A.getting a jobB.buying health insurance
C.traveling around BritainD.finding a place to live
小题4:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.A Trip to BritainB.What I Want to Be
