Can a one-armed person still play basketball? You might not think so when you see Zhang Jiacheng play.
The single-armed 13-year-old from Guangdong has recently become an internet sensation.
Featuring his dribbling skills and powerful underarm shot, his basketball videos have been viewed by more than 50 million people. Zhang even drew the attention of NBA superstar Steven Curry.
"You are an inspiration, you don't take "no" for an answer, you find the way to go through difficult times and get out there on the basketball court," Curry said in a video posted on Sina Weibo.
However, it wasn't easy for Zhang to step onto the court. At the age of five, Zhang lost his right arm in an accident at an oil mill. Although it was difficult at first, Zhang gradually got used to eating and getting dressed on his own. He also keeps up with his studies in school and helps his family with chores.
In the summer of 2018, Zhang first discovered his love for the sport when he attended a basketball course in his school. Soon, he was rarely seen without a ball in his hand, even dribbling at home in the living room. He also practiced basketball in PE class. When the class was learning how to skip rope, which takes two hands, he asked his teacher to permit him to do basketball training instead.
He's gotten a lot of attention since then. Zhang said, "With the encouragement of all these people, I feel like I have to try harder to live up to people's expectations. I will do better and become better."

Kermit the Frog, a popular puppet character from US-kids show Sesame Street, is probably most well-known for saying, “It’s not easy being green.” Well, our famous frog friend won’t have to worry much longer! It seems that the color green is coming back in style in 2020.
Based on fashion collections made for spring/ summer 2020, it is clear that major brands have been inspired by nature’s beauty. The new designs have a variety of leaf prints and floral fashion.
This new trend in seeing the color green as fashionable shouldn’t come as a surprise, though. The popularity of the color has actually been growing for a while now. In 2017, Pantone named Greenery its color of the year as a symbol of new beginnings.
Green is a strong fashion trend for 2020 and it seems like it is here to stay. According to the famous Dutch trend forecaster, Li Èdelkoort, green will be a major color of the 10 years. She believes the new “Green Wave” is connected with a hunger for nature. “The need for green is so powerful that it will turn around fashion and design without any doubt … it is impossible to ignore,” Edelkoort writes on her company website describing the new trend.
There is much more to green than it being just a color. Edelkoort continues, “But maybe the most important thing about green is its capacity to bring joy,” Maybe it’s easier to be green than Kermit originally thought.
1.What can we learn about Kermit the Frog?
A.He thinks it difficult to be green!
B.He is a popular kid actor in America.
C.He predicts green will be popular in 2020.
2.What does the underlined word inspired in paragraph 2 mean?
A.启发 B.鼓舞 C.带来
3.What does Li Èdelkoort think of green?
A.Green will become popular in 10 years.
B.Green will make no difference to people’s life.
C.Green will be an important part of people’s life.
4.Where is the text probably from?
A.A guidebook. B.A magazine. C.A novel.
