That happened last nig

25、ht against the lowly Boston Celtics (波士頓凱爾特人隊(duì)). They had only won 13 games the whole year and were really struggling. We had just come off a very good win against the Orlando Magic on the road and were feeling good about ourselves. The day did not start out good for us when we learned that T-Mac was

26、 going to miss the game with the flu. When you lose your best players (Yao, T-Mac), everyone must play a little harder and do a little bit more on the floor. We put Bonzi Wells into the lineup (he was the only one to have a good game for us), in place of T-Mac. It was a nasty game. We are usually on

27、e of the best three point shooting teams in the NBA and we only made 1 of 22 three point shots! I have never seen that happen. Never! Rarer Alston, Luther Head, and I combined to shoot 5 of 33 from the field. Ouch! You arent going to win too many games like that. Even as poorly as we shot the ball,

28、we still had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter but failed to make the winning plays that you must make to leave the floor victorious. In the locker-room after the game, everybody felt terrible. When we play a bad game, we feel that we let our teammates down. There is a bad feeling in th

29、e pit of your stomach when you leave the gym and you just want to go home and not talk to anyone. It is a terrible feeling, but it is a feeling that makes you want to try harder and do better the next time. Ill talk to you guys later,ShaneP.S. One of my Chinese friends has alerted me that there is s

30、ome controversy about this blog. I can assure you that I write 100% of my blogs and no one writes them for me. The pictures that I post are my pictures and these are my words.

33、 from the writers .A. blog B. telephone messageC. note D. interviewBEvery year 2.2 million tons of oil are spilled into the ocean. Actually, this only amounts to a small percentage of the total 1.6 billion tons of oil shipped around the world each year. However, this spilled oil has terrible effects

34、 on ocean life, including the coastlines where the oil washes up onto shore. Some of the largest spills in history were caused by oil tankers running into each other or by an oil tanker sailing into shallow water and hitting the bottom of the ocean. After these spills, officials try to discover who

35、or what was at fault to help prevent similar accidents in the future. One of the worst oil spills in history occurred along the Alaskan coastline in 1989. In this accident, 42,000 tons of oil spilled from a tanker which resulted in terrible damage to this sensitive natural area. In this spill, the t

36、ankers captain, who was tired from overwork and drinking alcohol, had gone to take a rest. He gave control of the ship to the third mate. The third mate was unfamiliar with the path the ship took, and he ran the ship onto Blighe Reef. Blighe Reef is a natural underwater rock wall near the Alaskan co

37、ast. Damaged by the reef, the ship leaked oil out into the ocean. More than 1,600 kilometers of coastline were affected by the oil spill. Some scientists who studied nature in the area guessed that 580,000 birds and 5,500 otters died when the oil from the spill covered their skin. As well, smaller s

38、hellfish and other sea creatures were later eaten by seals, whales, and other animals. The most oil ever spilled was actually dumped on purpose as an act of ecological warfare. The term ecological warfare means to fight by doing harm to nature in the area under attack. In 1990, Iraq sent soldiers in

39、to Kuwait and set off the Persian Gulf War. As part of the Iraq war plan, 9,000,000 tons of oil were let out into the Persian Gulf by Iraq. This oil covered 1,500 square kilometers of water in the Persian Gulf. The oil also damaged 650 kilometers of the coastline of both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In

40、some places, oil floating on the water was measured to be 43 centimeters thick. Water birds, water plants, and baby fish were all seriously affected by the oil. The long-term effects of this act on the food chain in the area are bound to cause problems far into the future.55. Which cause of oil spil

41、ls is described in the second paragraph?A. Dumping. B. War.C. Accidents. D. Throwing about carelessly.56. The creatures affected by the oil spill near Alaska were .A. birds and otters B. shellfishC. seals and whales D. all of the above57. The third mate ran the tanker aground (觸礁) in this accident b

42、ecause .A. he was tired B. he was drunkC. he was talking on the phone D. he did not know the area58. was responsible for dumping oil into the Persian Gulf.A. The United States B. Kuwait C. Saudi Arabia D. IraqCA caring mother is the most important single factor in preventing teenagers from abusing d

43、rugs and alcohol, researchers said on Friday. An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems, and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.“These findings suggest that living with both paren

44、ts may prevent drug use,” said Dr. McArdle, of Newcastle University in northern England, who led the study. “They also suggest that attachment, particularly to mothers, is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.”The report, which is published in the journal Add

45、iction, involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England, Ireland, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol. The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents, how well they were su

46、pervised (監(jiān)管) after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home.“Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,” McArdle said in a statement. But he added a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection ag

47、ainst developing drug habits.The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who bad a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent. If either factor was missing the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent. More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who di

48、d not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs.Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is undertaking the issue of their parents responsibility.(59. The phrase “maternal bond” refers to .A. the

49、 education of mothers B. the supervision of mothers on childrenC. whether the mother uses drugs D. the guidance of schools on mothers60. According to McArdle, which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem?A. 16-year-old Tom from a happy big family.B. 17-year-old Kate supervised by her single m

50、other.C. 18-year-old Juliet living with her single father.D. 19-year-old Mark cared for by his parents.61. The last paragraph suggests that .A. schools should answer for the drug problemB. television and media are to blameC. parents and the society are responsible for the drug problemD. mothers are

51、the cause of youth drug useD Dear Santa Claus, My name is Amy. I am 17 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me,Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk.

52、ation WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Contest. When Amys letter arrived at the radio station, Manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special girl and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up

53、the local newspaper.The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the “News Sentinel”. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple, ye

54、t remarkable, Christmas giftjust one day without teasing.Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation. They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement. Some of the wri

55、ters had disabilities; some had been teased as children. Each writer had a special message for Amy. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy saw a world full of people who truly cared about each other.Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignor

56、e teasing and to carry her head high. Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne High School. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially proclaimed(宣布) December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. “Everyone,” he said, “wants to and should be treated with res
