My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有团队精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
1. Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?
A. He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B. He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C. He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D. He wants to use the words to test a person.
2.Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A. To see whether he was confident.
B. To see whether he was good at sports.
C. To see whether he was selfish or not.
D. To see whether he could get along with others.
3.During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A. played best all the time B. was strong enough to play
C. was not confident D. wanted to be the team leader
4. The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A. please （使满意） B. know about C. help D. look for
