Most 23-year-olds have not done enough in life to be worthy of having their own documentary(纪录片)
Most 23-year-olds aren't LeBron James.
The NBA superstar, who recently won gold at the Beijing Olympics, has just released More Than a Game. It is a documentary that follows his rise to stardom (明星地位) and how he and four childhood friends overcame long odds to win a national championship in high school.
Combining footage (镜头) taken during James' career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, US, along with one-on-one interviews by writer/director Kris Belman, home videos, and personal family photographs, the film is about much more than basketball. At its core (核心) is a story of friendship, loyalty and love.
"We set out with a goal as kids and we wanted to accomplish that someway, somehow by using basketball as a tool, not knowing that it was going to create other opportunities for us," James said. "We didn't know it was going to create a brotherhood and trust. We grew from kids into young men."
While James is the star, his former teammates, Dru Joyce III, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee and Romeo Travis, play a major role in the film.
Their journey began together as 8-year-old boys, winds through years traveling all over America playing in basketball tournaments and finishes in their senior season at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.
At the time, Belman was a college film student. He set out to film James and his friends' season as his final school project, a 10-minute documentary. But after gaining the trust of the players and coach Dru Joyce, Belman spent two months filming and eventually teamed with producer Harvey Mason Jr to the full-length feature.
James hopes the film will inspire youngsters (年轻人).
"We set out with a goal when we were eight and we accomplished it when we were 18," he said. "It's a great story and I wanted to get it out to kids that have a dream, that they should continue to go after it, believe in it and live it if they want to accomplish something."

Beyond the Factory: Child Labor in the Cities
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, factory owners faced few restrictions on the way they employed their children workers, who were between the age of 7 and 12. Gradually laws came into being.
The first child-labor laws were passed at the state level in America and usually focused on both required education and a minimum age for employment. And added rules limited the length of the workday for children. Pennsylvania, for example, limited the workday to 10 hours for children under 12. However, government officials cared little whether businesses followed the law. In fact one group of children was left entirely unprotected by labor laws -- the children of immigrant families.
By the beginning of the twentieth century, piecework appeared, for which people were paid by the piece. Significant numbers of women sewed baby dresses or men's neckties and made the artificial flowers used to decorate hats. Piecework turned homes into factories that were free from the law, and countless children worked long hours alongside their mothers and old sisters.
Manufactures exploited the system shamelessly and paid the lowest wages they could. Embroidering (刺绣) a silk dress, which was a 10-day job, might generate a five-dollar payment. In the case of "willowing", workers needed to add more strands to ostrich feathers used on hats to make them longer and more graceful. The first willowers were paid 15 cents per inch, but a few months later, the pay was reduced to 13 cents. Within three years, willowers were earning only three cents per inch.
In order to survive under these circumstances, pieceworkers had even their youngest children help them. In one Italian neighborhood, a three-year-old girl helped her mother sew clothes. In another case, a child of eight who had lived in New York for three years had never been to school at all and could speak almost no English. Slowly child labor laws brought these abuses to an end.
31. The first child-labor laws required ______.
A. workplace safety and conditions
B. minimum payment and age
C. education and working time
D. minimum payment and schooling
32. Manufactures who hired women to do piecework ______.
A. were kind and concerned employers
B. were sometimes called "willowers"
C. usually paid the lowest salary
D. forced children to turn home into factories
33. "Willowing" was a kind of ______.
A. handwork activity B. workplace
C. payment requirement D. workers
34. By raising the example of the three-year-old girl's experience in the last paragraph, the author intended to ______.
A. show how poor the situations were for children workers
B. blame those adult pieceworkers for allowing children to work
C. attract attention to protect young children
D. emphasize the importance of educating young children
35. Which of the following sentences best summarizes the passage?
A. The first child-labor laws were limited due to working at the state level.
B. Early child-labor laws offered no protection to children who worked at home.
C. Some immigrant children did not learn English because of their piecework.
D. Child-labor laws should have come into being before children became workers.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Anyone who would like to check their vision from the comfort of their own home may be interested in a new automated eye test called the EyeQue VisionsCheck. The new technology is a device that is used with a smartphone to help check your vision whenever you like.
The device tests your eyes and gives you a number that tells you how good or bad your eyesight is. You can then take this result to an optician (验光师)to order a pair of glasses. It is more than just an eye check — you'll be able to measure and store results of your pupillary distance, get details at eyeque.com or in-app, upload prescriptions to compare vision history and use it to order your glasses online.
The new device is from a startup company called EyeQue. It has been used to test the eyes of 50,000 people. The company says the patented technology has shown all-time accuracy and received praises from many of the users over the past two years. The simple device costs just $30. An updated version will come out later this year and will cost between $50 to $70.
An EyeQue spokesman said the device was better than going to visit an optician. He said, "The reason for that is when you go to the eye doctor it's one moment in time. You may be having a bad day. You may be nervous. The doctor may be in a hurry. What we do is different measures over time. We are able to average it out, and we get a better result." However, the spokesman said the device wasn't a replacement for the optician. An optician will check for things the device cannot check for, like some eye diseases.
Renu Thapar, an optician said, "The EyeQue, used correctly and regularly, could actually speed up identification of problems which an optician could then help with. But VisionCheck. cannot completely substitute a regular eye test. After all, the condition of the eyes can be very complicated; you'd better see a medical professional."
1.What is the basic requirement for using this new technology?
A.Using a smartphone.
B.Consulting an optician.
C.Measuring pupillary distance.
D.Ordering glasses from their official website.
2.According to the EyeQue spokesman, why is their result more accurate?
A.It can identify eye diseases. B.It is a single professional test.
C.It is the average of multiple tests. D.It has the most advanced technology.
3.What can we learn from Renu Thapar's words?
A.The test results of VisionCheck are not reliable.
B.Frequent use of EyeQue may speed up eyes' problems.
C.VisionCheck should be used with the help of an optician.
D.VisionCheck can't completely replace a regular eye test.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A New Way to Restore Eyesight
B.EyeQue VisionCheck DIY Eye Test
C.A New Device to Check for Eye Diseases
D.EyeQue VisionCheck, Substitue of Regular Eye Test
