Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we weren't playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favorite player was LeBron James. Paul's favorite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agreed that they were both champions.

Bogues was only 1. 6 meters tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1. 6 meters tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, "If Bogues could make it, why not me?"

Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn't get a chance.

This week, The Lions were playing against our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn't lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Paul didn't know he'd soon get the chance that he'd been waiting for.

Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other. Pain raced through my body. My knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points.

I said quietly to the coach that I couldn't play anymore as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee.

Bamboo is called"poor people's material"and even in China it is not (wide) accepted as a modern building material. But bamboo makes nearly the lightest houses, is a lot better than"modern" materials at surviving earthquakes.

And unlike the "Tofu" buildings that may (destroy) in just several seconds in some earthquakes, bamboo makes a much (safe) building. That is why it is suggested as a replacement (替代品) by International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR).

INBAR notes that number of people who do not have safe and healthy shelter will increase with population growth if no proper action is taken.

Study shows that bamboo is excellent in (strong) and is as strong as wood. Besides,because of the lightweight and good elasticity ( 弹 性 ) of bamboo, bamboo buildings are very good at resisting (抵抗) earthquakes. For example, all of the 30 bamboo houses (survive) without any damage in the 7.6 magnitude earthquake in Costa Rica in 2012.

Ancient Chinese people preferred living in houses made bamboo. In Yunnan Province, some locals sill live in bamboo homes which can protect (they) from rain and wind. And in Zhejiang Province, where bamboo is plentiful, local officials have been encouraging architects  (design) buildings using bamboo.

空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

We were silently waiting on the platform in the late afternoon. There he was, my50-year old1 with his grey hair and there I was, a teenager girl in my jeans and T-shirt. His aged2 still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene. I was wondering3 I was going to get through the next two days. "Why did I agree to be with my strange grandpa on a4 ride from our city to another?" I asked myself.

No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather5 to take a plane.6 him, I loved to fly because I wanted to get to the destination as quickly as possible. No matter what anyone told my grandfather about the comfort and safety of flying, he refused to7 a flight, saying, "It's not just the trip. It's the adventure of getting there. "

With my first step onto the train, the journey was already 8 what I expected. The train was modern and it was filled with 9 travelers. We all smiled and nodded to greet each other.

My grandpa and I seated ourselves in the 10 car. While watching the scenery pass, we could enjoy food and drinks. 11 listening to my music, I became a willing audience and I learned family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn about. I felt I 12 him for the first time. I was 13 for our time together on the train.

In this rapidly changing world, we often 14 important moments. It is necessary for us to 15 and listen to elders who offer a piece of their history or experience.

Life isn't just about the destination; it's about the journey.

Some Ways to Avoid Getting Sick

Nobody enjoys being sick but even the best of us can fall sick. Changes in the environment, such as the quality of the air we breathe, can lead to development of certain illnesses like allergie（s 过敏）or cancer, when the body's own immune system works against it.

Eat Healthily.

First of all, stick to a healthy diet. Even if you eat less, it is of great help not to skip meals. Bread with butter/jam, an egg or milk at breakfast, or fruits or fruit juice would be good for breakfast.  Dinner ideally should consist of soup and vegetables or non-vegetarian fare. Reward yourself with some cookies, even chocolates during the day or at tea-time.

Exercising is vital. You don't have to be a fitness freak. Performing some household chores or shopping or even climbing stairs instead of taking the lift helps to burn off calories. Exercises at the beginning of the day will help more and tone up the body. The heavy-eaters have to exercise more, and vigorously.

Say no to cigarette smoking.

It's been medically proved — cigarette smoking does cause cancer, but sadly people get addicted. If people around you can suffer from secondary smoking, how much are you hurting yourself? Cigar-smoking is recommended for those who love to light up.

Cheers for the good news!

We all like the cup that cheers. Poets have written poems to alcohol（酒精）, songsters are great fans and everyone raises a toast now and then. If you love lo drink, consult your physician and work out what and how much suits you best.

A. Doing exercise is a must.

B. Have a scheduled daily routine.

C. The next time you want to reach out for that cigarette packet, think again.

D. We can try, however, to maintain good health by picking up a few healthy habits.

E. Lunch can be light, perhaps vegetable/cheese — chicken and steaks are available for the non-pork eaters.

F. But too much of alcohol or wine is sure to bum up something inside you, which won't be calories but a certain organ of the body.

G. A peaceful walk can also help you to relax as you are bathed in the sunshine —oxygen and vitamin D — while you bum up calories in a favorite manner.

The San Diego County Water Authority has an unusual plan to use the city's San Vicente Reservoir(水库)to store solar power. The project could help unlock America's clean energy future.

Perhaps ten years from now, large underground pipes will connect the lake to a new reservoir built about 1100 feet higher. When the sun is high in the sky, California's rich solar power will pump (泵水) water into that upper reservoir. When the sun goes down, the force of water would produce 500 megawatts (百万千瓦)of electricity for up to eight hours. "It's a water battery!" says Neena Kuzmich, director of engineering for the water authority.

The technology that San Diego puts forward is already in use at more than 40 sites in the US. Some of them were built during the 1970s to store electricity produced by nuclear power plants. Now, the need to store power from renewable sources is bringing this old technology back.

Water batteries have many competitors, when it comes to storing energy. However, they have their own advantages. Water batteries are a proven way to store large amounts of power. The San Vicente project would store about as much electricity as the batteries in 50, 000 of Tesla's Model 3 cars. They also don't require hard-to-find battery materials. The biggest problem with them is that it is hard to find places to build them. They need a great deal of water, land to build two reservoirs and permission to damage the landscape.

Kelly Catlett, director of an environmental organization, says, "We won't support projects that build new dams on rivers and damage ecosystems. But San Diego's plan looks like something different, because it uses an existing reservoir and doesn't damage any streams."

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, "Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish." I remember being even more upset then, because "I'm not a fish!" I didn't know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?

As I got a little older, I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.

When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, "We all need to think like sales people." But it didn't completely make sense. My dad never once said, "If you want to catch a fish, you need to think like a fisherman."

What he said was, "You need to think like a fish." Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.

In 2017, besides a full-time job, I also coached two basketball teams. I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other.

One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. "Sorry, kid, but I'm all done, " I replied. "Oh no...", cried Matthew.

Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, "he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!"

I caught two pieces of useless wood, "You see this wood here? I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me?"

A slight smile was on his face, "Yes!"

 The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority, worth and a place to belong to.

Parents always think, "I'll create family time next Saturday. " But you don't always have to do big things to fill children's hearts. In fact, the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.
