When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.

A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.

I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling () and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.

1.From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.

A. the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers

B. the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's

A. The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.

3.What surprised the author most at the recreation center?

A. That it was very near to his home.

B. That there was a basketball court inside the building.

C. That there was a special smell in it.

D. That there was a fast food restaurant in it.

4.The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.

A. it is the basic preparation to play basketball

B. it is more useful than dribbling and shooting

C. it is the only way to make people stronger

When I was thirteen, my family moved from Boston to Tucson, Arizona. Before the move, my father gathered us in the living-room on a freezing January night. My sisters and I sat around the fire, not realizing that the universe would suddenly change its course. “In May, we’re moving to Arizona.”

The words, so small, didn’t seem big enough to hold my new life. But the world changed and I awoke on a tram moving across the country. I watched the scene change from green trees to flat dusty plains to high mountains as I saw strange new plants that suggested mysteries yet to come. Finally, we arrived and settled into our new home.

While my older sisters were sad at the loss of friends, I eagerly explored our new surroundings.

One afternoon, I was out exploring as usual and saw a new kind of cactus(仙人掌). I crouched (蹲) down for a closer look. “You’d better not touch that.”

I turned around to see an old woman.

“Are you new to this neighborhood?” I explained that I was, in fact, new to the entire state.

“My name is Ina Thorne. Have you got used to life in the desert? It must be quite a shock after living in Boston.”

How could I explain how I found the desert? I couldn’t seem to find the right words.

“It’s vastness,” she offered. “That vastness when you stand on the mountains overlooking the desert- you can sense how little you are in comparison with the world. Meanwhile, you feel that the possibilities are limitless.”

That was it. That was the feeling I’d had ever since I’d first seen the mountains of my new home. Again, my life would change with just a few simple words.

“Would you like to come to my home tomorrow? Someone should teach you which plant you should and shouldn’t touch.

1.Hearing Father’s words, the writer ______.

A.was eager to explore the new place

B.was unaware that his life was to be changed

C.felt sad because he would lose his friends

D.thought it was a good idea to move to Arizona

2.We can learn from the passage that the writer ______.

A.didn’t get used to his new surroundings

B.explored a lot the new neighborhood after arriving there

C.knew some knowledge about the desert animals from the old woman

D.didn’t like the desert because of its vastness and limitless possibilities

3.What would the writer most probably do when he was invited to the old woman’s home?

A.Refuse her invitation politely.

B.Go back to ask his father for advice.

C.Hesitate whether to accept her invitation.

D.Visit her to learn something about plants in the desert.
