His NBA career is 14 seasons.He is the only NBA player who averaged over 50 points per game for an entire season. On 2nd March1962, he scored 100 points in a single game—no one has ever done that since!He was so much better than all the other players that they changed the rules of the game to try to stop him. He is the outstanding player of his generation. T: Quite good! Both of them are super sport stars in the US. China also has such a star. Who is he?Ss: Yao Ming.T: As you know, Yao is playing in the Houston Rockets. Today we are going to learn something about what his coach says about him. Please turn your books to Page 9 and look through the questions in Activity 1 first.Step II ReadingAsk students to answer the questions in Activity 1 after they look through the text. Suggested answers:1. No, he isn’t. On the contrary he thinks Yao Ming has great potential and will surely become a star if Yao is more aggressive.2. No. Chinese players are more polite and kind. They are not as aggressive as US players.3. Yes, he does. If he wants to be a star, he has to be more aggressive.After dealing with the questions in Activity 1, ask students to read the following article. Show the following on the PowerPoint or print the following materials out as handouts.T: OK. After learning about the coach’s comments on Yao Ming, let’s learn what theothers said about him. Please try to find the difference between Yao Ming and other players.Yao Ming Message BoardWhat Yao Ming is teaching us is a lesson that the NBA and all who watch it should learn. We live in the age where rookies with even the slightest amount of talent thump their chests and cry out loudly for attention and shoe deals. Sadly, the game of basketball has turned into a game with players who worked together as a team to a group of players lead by one man. They hawk their one-man show in order to promote themselves over their teams, but Yao Ming is changing all that. Yao hops off the bench during a time-out to hand his teammates towels to wipe the sweat out of their eyes. You will rarely see him celebrate some feat he has accomplished, but he will be the first one to high-five one of his teammates, or pat them on the back whether or not they make the shot.Yao Ming, as opposed to the other rookies in his class, is decidedly a team player. He is an exciting player to watch, but he's also an ambassador to his country. He brings his customs of honor and unity to our shores, and I am thankful we have him. There are many wonderful aspects of the Chinese culture to be shared here in the United States. One only has to watch the Rockets play to see the best of China in this spirited, talented young man.Melissa A. González from HoustonAggressive, Yao! 4/19/2005 4:02:38 PMEverything is where it needs to be, all you need is a bit of aggressiveness. You need to show the fire Y ao, the desire that’s deeply imbedded on you, to contest every single ball, every single shot, ultimately to become the centre of the universe. Showing respect is civilized but to show the disrespectful to respect is not uncivilized. Go and get that Shaq by the scruff of his neck. Toss him like a rag doll, that Yao, believe me or not, is the only way you can be respected in the current.39 amazing points! 8/17/2004 3:00:55 PMWell, we knew it was only a minor hiccup in the game with Spain but you proved it right away! And even though the loss with Spain was hard to take, it was amazing tosee you play with such zest and zeal! You threw down a guy alright. It would be even better if you knocked down the guys attempting a dunk on you. Because you know they mean no respect for you. Why give them a chance? And prevention is often better than cure! We’re right behind you and keep up the strong showing. Go Yao! DiscussionPlay a short video of a NBA game. Ask students to observe how Yao Ming played when he first joined Houston Rocket. Then show another to ask students to observe his recent play. Then ask students to work in pairs and discuss the questions in Activity 2. They may refer to both the text and the given materials. Five minutes later check the answers. It doesn’t matter if students have different opinions. The most important thing is to stimulate their interest in sports. By discussing the questions, they will learn to observe and learn to think.Suggested answers:1. Yes, because in China people are trained to be selfless and kind. They are required to remember they are just part of the team. This will influence their way they play in court.2. In football games players are more aggressive.3. I don’t think so. Boxing is very cruel. In boxing a player has to be very aggressive or he will be defeated. But if he is too aggressive, deaths may be caused.4. Chinese sportsmen and women have to learn to be a little selfish and aggressive, if necessary, to be rude.WritingDeal with Activity 3. Ask students to write a reply to an editor whose paper published the article about Yao Ming.T: Suppose the passage appears on Washington Post. Please write a reply to the editor and say what you think about the Chinese attitude to sport. You may discuss in groups first and then try to express your own opinion in the letter. You can refer to the direction in Activity 3. Make sure you use the expressions suggested in your letter.A sample of the reply:Dear Editor,I’m writing in reply to the article about Yao Ming. The title of the article is Is Yao Ming Too Nice to Be a Star. I like the fact that the article draws attention to the difference between Chinese players and US players. Yes, it is true that Yao is not as aggressive as the US players. But he is a good team player with great skills. He is our Superstar. His humility as well as his skills has gained people’s respect. But playing in the US, he has to adapt to the ways US players play. Just as the coach said “he has to be more aggressive, and if necessary to be rude to his teammates.”Now I would like to say something about how Chinese players are trained. In China players are taught to be “a man” first and then to be “a player.” That is they should learn to share, to love, to respect and also should keep in mind they are just part of the team. The team’s fame comes first. A very popular slogan in sports field is “Friendship first, competition second”. In my opinion, the reason why Yao is so kind and selfless is that he has been brought up and trained in this way. We Chinese also know the saying “When in Rome, do as Romans do”. I believe Yao will become more aggressive and play very well for Houston Rocket. Soon he will become the most valued player. With him, Houston Rocket will win their NBA championship. Good luck to them!Yours sincerelyWang FeiStep III Everyday EnglishDeal with Everyday English on Page 10. This exercise will help students to form the habit of thinking in English. Ask students to do the exercise individually and then check the answers.Step IV FunctionActivity 1 on Page 8 will help students to learn the difference between v-ed and v-ing adjectives.Ask students to finish it. Then check the answers.T: What conclusion can you draw from this activity? When do you use –ed adj. and when do we use –ing adj.?S: I think –ing adj. describes the features of things while –ed adj. describes the feelings of people.T: You are right.

He attended the University of North Carolina for ayear before leaving to join the Chicago Bulls. He finished his first season (1984–1985) as one of the top scorers in the league, with an average of 28.2 points per game.In 1987, Jordan became only the second player to score more than 3,000 points in a season. He was the top scorer in the NBA for seven consecutive seasons (1987–1993). During this time, the average number of points he scored was more than 30 points per game. With him, the Bulls won their first NBA championship in 1991. During this successful period they won the title again in 1992 and 1993. Jordan was also in the United States Olympic Basketball Team, known as "the Dream Team", which won the gold medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.Jordan surprised everyone when he retired before the 1993–1994 season, but he rejoined the Chicago Bulls and won three more championships with them from 1996 to 1998. He played again for the Washington Wizards before finally retiring from sport in 2003 at the age of 40. Millions of fans admire his athletic ability, motivation and confidence. They have fantastic stories to tell about Michael Jordan, such as the time when he rescued the Bulls from ending a game on a tie. He stepped to the line and made two free throws.

He also found success as an actor in the film Space Jam alongside the famous cartoon character Bugs Bunny!There is only one word to describe the best player in the world—awesome!Wilt the Stilt—the Tower of Power!Michael Jordan was the second player to score more than 3,000 points in a season—but the first was Wilt Chamberlain.Chamberlain was born in Philadelphia on 21st August1936. He was one of the 11 children, the only one who wasvery tall. His father William worked in a shipyard and hismother Olivia was a cleaner. As a child, Chamberlain hadvarious health problems. He had pneumonia and almostdied when he was ten.Chamberlain is the only NBA player who averaged over 50 points per game for an entire season. At one point, Chamberlain was so much better than all the other players that they changed the rules of the game to try to stop him!The giant player joined the NBA's Philadelphia Warriors in the 1959–1960 season and was an immediate success. During 14 seasons with four different teams, Chamberlain was named the most valued player in the league four times. On 2nd March 1962, he scored 100 points in a single game—no one has ever done that since! The final score was Warriors 169 New York Knicks 147!He ended his career after five amazing seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. By the time he retired, Wilt held many NBA records: he scored 50 or more points 118 times and 60 or more points 32 times.Was Wilt Chamberlain better than Michael Jordan? Who knows? But there is no doubt that he deserves the title "outstanding player of his generation".Read the passages and answer the questions.1.Which basketball team did Michael Jordan play for?2.How many times did Michael Jordan's team win the NBA title?3.Why do the fans admire Jordan so much?4.How many basketball teams did Wilt Chamberlain play for?5.Which were the first and last teams Wilt Chamberlain played for?6.Why is Wilt Chamberlain called the Tower of Power?%Is Yao Ming Too Nice to Be a Star?Jeff Van Gundy, the head coach of the Houston Rockets,has a dream. He wants Yao Ming to be like other players.Star players, says Gundy, are "selfish" and want the ball allthe time. "Let's put it this way," he said. "When they ask forthe ball, they don't say 'please'!"Yao, however, is a selfless and kind person. He has beenbrought up and trained in this way. It is not in his nature tobe "selfish" and "rude".When he first arrived in the US, Yao was an instant hit among basketball fans nationwide. They all loved this kind, gentle but powerful giant. Van Gundy wanted to build his team around the talented Chinese player. To do this, he told Yao to be more aggressive and, if necessary, to be rude to his teammates."He's a wonderful guy, he has every physical basketball skill and he puts the team first," Van Gundy said. "But I want him to be a star, not just a great team player. He's got to think that he's the best player out there. That way, he can dominate the game.""At first, I didn't really understand what the coach wanted," Yao said. "But now I do. In China, everyone gave me the ball, I didn't have to ask! Here, I have to be a little 'impolite'! I'm not quite used to it yet. If you give me a little time, I can get more used to it. I have to learn to be a little more 'selfish'."Read the passage about Yao Ming and answer the questions.1.Is the Houston Rockets coach disappointed with Yao Ming?2.Do Chinese basketball players play in the same way as USplayers?3.Does Yao Ming understand what the coach wants him to do?Dizzy Heights of School BasketballBasketball is one of the safest sports. Unlike wrestling or boxing, it's not usually dangerous. One reason for this is that the players' energy is partly directed upwards, at a 90-degree angle to the ground, and over the heads of the others. So there's less risk of a collision between two players.In other sports, such as baseball and American football, the players' energy moves parallel to the ground and towards their opponents, so they wear helmets which give adequate protection to their heads.But although basketball players wear socks and sneakers which are specially designed to absorb energy when they bound into the air, they wear no other protection, just a vest and shorts. If there is an abrupt change of direction in their energy, from vertical to horizontal, such as when they accelerate across the court, bouncing the ball, there is a real danger of personal injury.For example, in the Kent State High School Basketball tournament, Chandler High was playing St Mary Central and at the interval the score was 50–52. But St Mary had appointed a captain who was not a typical basketball player. Whereas everyone else was tall and slim with short haircuts, Joe Johannsen was short and stout, with long hair and a large belly. But he was really fast, and when he obtained control of the ball, he could make a circuit of the court and reach the opposing team's boundary within seconds.Anyhow, twelve minutes into the second half, Frank Sackler, the Chandler star player, made a controversial pass over Joe's head. Joe stepped aside and dipped his head down. Sackler bounced off him and committed a foul. The referee interrupted the match, and there was a suspension of play. But Joe was unhurt, shot the penalty, and the score was 88–90. There were three minutes to go.Joe immediately took possession of the ball and ran, ... and suddenly 80 kilos hit the Chandler star, who howled loudly in pain and fell, with his nose bleeding and a cut on his left cheek. For a moment, he lay very still, and the referee even checked his pulse, but soon confirmed he was OK. But when Sackler stood up he was dizzy, so they put a bandage round his head, a blanket round his shoulders,and called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Joe was a considerate guy, and apologised as Sackler left, sniffing and weeping, either in pain or in frustration.Chandler scored with the penalty, and their teamwork had won the match. But Frank Sackler still has the scar on his face as a souvenir of the tournament.Choose the best answers.1.

There were two teams, but therewere often a hundred players on each team!However, in 1823, William Webb Ellis, a pupil atRugby School in England, picked up the ball during asoccer game and ran with it. Teachers at the school wereshocked and angry but Webb Ellis's schoolmates enjoyedthis new game, which they named after the school. Eventually, rugby was played with an oval ball that could be both carried and thrown.Rugby was exported to the United States, changed a lot and became the sport that Americans now call football.

Naismith later wrote 13 rules which are the basisof modern basketball rules.How did baseball start?The exact origin of baseball is unknown, but it is probablybased on an old English game called rounders. In the USA, aversion of the game became popular in the early 19thcentury and eventually, a man called Alexander Cartwrightwrote the rules for baseball in 1845.
