As I sec it,it's wildly popular in the US and its athletes are extremely recognizable,because it's the one sport where an athlete's face is not covered up by a football helmet (or baseball hat.My favorite time and place is anywhere and anytime.I prefer indoors,although it can be played outdoors.Many people often play in a driveway at home,but the best is always against someone on a court. I started playing basketball because of my favorite player,Shaquille O'Neal.He was a huge, unstoppable player.When I was 11 years old,I decided to go outside to the family basketball hoop (and take a shot.This was my first time ever shooting a basketball.I will never forget the first shot I ever took.It was perfect.It felt amazing!And I've been in love with this sport ever sincel I learned a long time ago that very few people are going to have the love of this game that I do I've always understood that in this area,for the most part,I am alone. I'm not the best of players.When I do good things on court,I know it's because I can make up for my lack()of athleticism by being a student of the game.I've never missed a training day.I don't worry about school,family,or problems.I think about what's in front of me,and how I can. get the basketball in the hoop. Playing,watching,and reading about basketball fills me with an unmatchable sense of enjoyment. 24.What does the author think of basketball? A.It should be played indoors.

A.Life Lessons from Playing Basketball B.My Road to Being a Basketball Player C.Changes in My Basketball Dream D.My Great Love of Basketball C From the title"The Joys of College",you probably think you're about to read a piece of satire (讽刺作品)about how"awesome(极佳的)"college is.After all,college can be very demanding-a mountain load of assignments all due at the same time,10-plus page papers,and difficult exams.I get it.But actually,the title isn't satirical at all.Sure,college is really stressful and there are some aspects I don't like.But for once,I'd like to focus on the positives of being a college student. The first thing I truly enjoy about being a collcge student is that I get to take classes that actually interest me.It isn't like high school where you're forced to take the same core classes as everyone else because of the district curriculum.In college,learning doesn't feel like a task to everyone because I actually get to design my schedule to my interests. Besides,there are so many different fields to study.We have many fields of departments ( that aren't offered at other universities,such as Japanese.There are also many interesting classes that can be taken just for fun-classes about anime,the horror genre,and even witchery.There are so many opportunities to learn about topics unrelated to your major. The community at the University is also very important to me.We are all suffering here but we are all suffering together.The college experience is so much more bearable due to this community.I know I can express myself to any fellow college student about the stress my assignments arc causing and they will always understand. The fun activities and clubs arc also a plus.The campus camnivals,holiday markets,and concerts give us something to look forward to as we struggle our way through our classes.And the club activities-like the Campus Times-make college life all the more exciting. However,my most favorite part of being a college student is that I personally like the idea of being able to enjoy life without worrying about too many expenses.My loan payments are a problem for the future me.And not having to go through the stress of job interviews just yet is also very relieving. So although there are a lot of negatives of college,there are also a lot of positives.I know that when I graduate,I'm going to miss being a college student 28.What is the first thing that the author really enjoys about being a college student? A.She is free to choose what to leam. B.The exams are less difficult C.There is less homework. D.There is no core classes to take. 29.What is special about the author's college? A.She can design schedule all by herself, B.All the classes can be taken just for fun. C.It provides carnivals,holiday markets,and concerts D.It has many courses that aren't offered at other universities. 30.What makes the college life more exciting? A.The community. B.Many fields of departments. C.The club activities. D.Unique opportunities. 31.What does the underlined word"relieving"in paragraph 6 refer to? A.Strange. B Special. C.Worrying. D.Relaxing. D It is said that most people have no more than 30 friends at any given time,and 400 over the whole of their lives.However,on social networking sites,most users have about 150 friends.If these numbers are correct,then friendship means different things in different situations Also,there are no rules about friendship.There is no instruction in making friends, maintaining friendship,and finishing friendship if we want to move on.People have very different opinions about this:some people would die for their friends and they value them more than families. Others say that friends are temporary(暂时的)，and only there to help each other until they are no longer needed.If pcople with those different views become friends,this can lead to problems. Becausc of thesc different definitions (of friendship,it is easy to be unhappy about our friendship.We may want it to be deeper or closer,or we may want to acquire more friends in our Lives.Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendship,or we fear we have left it too latc in life to start.If we move to another country or city,we have to find ways to make new fricnds again This dissatisfaction (shows us how significant friendship is for most of us.We should not think that it could be too late to build friendship.We also need to uderstand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by most people.Therefore,we should not be too frightened of starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends:it is likely that they would like to get closer to us too.Remember what people say:strangers are friends we have not met yet. 32.What's the author's purpose in listing the umbers in Paragraph 1? A.To explain the reason. B.To introduce the topic. C.To show the ways of making friends. D.To persuade readers to make more friends. 33.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
