Although women's college basketball in Connecticut is a marvelously entertaining and increasingly popular sport, it is not hard to remember when it was not so popular. Only a few years ago, my friends and I could decide on a Sunday afternoon to go to a women's basketball game at the University of Connecticut and believe it or not we could get seats for free near center court. Of course, that was before names such as Rebeccca Lobo, Jennifer Rizzotti, Kara Wolters and Carla Berube became household words. Lobo's book, HOME-COURT ADVANTAGE, which she wrote with her mother, was a best-seller for a brief time in Connecticut. If more than a couple of hundred fans showed up for a game, it was considered a big turnout and games were played in practically silent gyms. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to buy tickets to a women's game, and you can't get seats, even in the Civic Center, unless you know someone.

因天气突然变冷，自己没注意添加衣服，发烧39度，向老师请假一天，请用英语写一份请假。
Dear teacher，
The weather has suddenly cooled down recently because I did not wear enough clothes to withstand the cold air. Then I caught a cold. Two hours ago, I measured my temperature at a household thermometer. This temperature has reached 39 degrees Celsius. I have just gone to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor suggested that I take a day off at home and take medicine to control my condition.Only then can I be back to normal and full of energy to learn.
Now I am writing this letter to you in front of the computer, specifically wanting to ask you for a day of sick leave. I hope you get your consent, please don't worry. I believe that I will get better soon.
Thank you very much！
Yours student

The Bad Effects of Fake Diplomas
There has been a serious epidemic of fake diplomas in some big cities recently. obviously, its appearance and development involve two parts: the demander and the supplier. people who do not have the necessary diploma to get a desire job naturally thin of this short cut, especially when so many profit-driven people make fake diplomas so easily available. usually a certificate of bachelor’s degree costs about 200 yuan, which is really cheap compared with the 4 years of hard work and the pretty big sum of fees involved in normal ways of getting the diploma.the victims of fake diplomas are first of all employers, who pay high salaries but do not get real talents. by and by, his business will suffer, and it takes time and money to fine another one who may or may not hold a real degree. people who have genuine diplomas are also hurt greatly. they have honestly spent 4 or even more years and great energy working hard in schools, but cannot get any advantage in job hunting. thus, actually this phenomenon may encourage people to cheat instead of acquiring a degree honestly.
To combat the epidemic, we should stop putting ever more emphasis on the academic achievement of job or promotion candidates. instead, practical ability and individual personality should be recognized as important factors of excellent job performance. besides, effective measures supported by advanced it technology should be introduced and taken to help employers distinguish genuine diplomas from fake ones. once the demand disappears, the supply will be gone too.
