Michael Jordan told me not to mention this until the season was over and I promised him at that time. Now I think it’s time.
Early last season, I wrote a column about an act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium. After it ran ,I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.” Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.
A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Has Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?
“Not two boys,” Jordan said, “but four.”
And he named them. He said four names.
And what did they talk about?
“Everything,” Jordan said. “I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check whether they’re paying attention to their schoolwork. If it turns out one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it.”
It’s just one more part of Michael Jordan’s life, one more thing that no one knows about, one more thing Jordan does right. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan, as they surely will, I’ll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come, for someone they can depend on.
1.That man called after reading about what Jordan did to a disabled child because he wanted to ____.
A．become famous himself
B．know why Jordan appeared in a poor area
C．let the author know that Jordan was not that nice
D．offer another example to show that Jordan was a nice man
2.What can we learn from this passage?
A．Jordan is not such a great person.
B．Jordan deserves the admiration he had from others.
C．Jordan is always ready to make friends with young people.
D．Jordan is always misunderstood by expert reviewers.
3.What does the underlined word “ran” probably mean?
A．Published. B．Finished. C．Disappeared. D．Drove
4. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the author wrote this passage?
A．He would like to keep the promise he had made.
B．He thought it was time to help the disabled children.
C．He hated to see Jordan become someone else’s target.
D．He was impressed by Jordan’s deeds for the ordinary poor.
5. What’s the purpose of the writer writing the passage?
A．to show us the life of Jordan
B．to tell us everybody will make mistakes including Jordan
C．to criticize Jordan
D．to defend Jordan against attack

In 2013, Gabby Frost founded Buddy Project when she was 15. At that time her best friend had been diagnosed(诊断) with a mental health condition, and that was the first time she was made aware of what mental illness was. She wanted to learn more and develop a good support system for her.
Mental illness affects tens of millions of people in the United States each year, yet only half receive treatment, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health. Buddy Project's website says the service is not a substitute for therapy(治疗) or other types of mental health care, and it directs people to resources for further help.
Since founding the organization as a high school student, Frost has helped more than 200, 000 participants find a new friend. On the day when Buddy Project was launched, she used her powerful social media presence to attract nearly 3, 000 participants. "This was around the time when teens really began talking about mental health and found a supportive community online to talk about it,”she said.
One of the biggest social barriers she had to jump over was that people didn't view her seriously because she was a 15-year-old girl, and even now, she's still a young woman. "Sometimes it’s frustrating because people don't think what I do is needed or they don't think I’m professional." she said. "Most people are blown away that a 20-year-old girl is running this and that it's one person doing this but not a whole team. I'm just lucky that I've found a support system that has been able to help my mom and me with the project.
1.Why did Gabby Frost set up Buddy Project?
A. To treat her mental disease. B. To know what causes mental illness.
C. To help her friend to fight the mental disease. D. To cure those with mental disease
2.What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Americans pay little attention to mental health.
B. Many Americans have trouble with mental health.
C. Buddy Project provides financial aid for patients.
D. Buddy Project can cure those with mental disease.
3.What problem did Frost face?
A. She couldn't get support from her mother.
B. She couldn't help so many patients at a time.
C. She wasn't able to attract enough participants.
D. She wasn't thought well of because of her age.
4.How do most people feel about young Frost's running the project alone?

At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers: while many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.
