THE UNDERDOG①
Part 1
Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans② of the NBA. When we weren’t playing on the court③ [1]which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy④ [2]who played for the Charlotte Hornets, [3]although we actually agree that they are both champions⑤.

劣势者
第一部分
我和保罗都是学校狮子篮球队的队员。我们热爱篮球,都是NBA的超级球迷。我们不在大楼旁边的球场上打球,就在电视上看比赛。我最喜欢的球员是勒布朗·詹姆斯。保罗最喜欢的球员是蒂尼·博格斯,博格斯为夏洛特黄蜂队效力。事实上,我们认为他们都是冠军。
博格斯身高只有一米六,是NBA史上最矮的球员。你猜怎么着?保罗身高也只有一米六!保罗知道比其他球员矮意味着他必须加强练习。在他自己跳投的时候,他用博格斯激励自己。保罗有次说“如果博格斯能做到,为什么我不能呢?”
我们的教练并不这么看。保罗多次参加选拔,方才入选球队。然而,他通常“坐板凳”作为替补队员,这对他来说是真够难熬的。每个人都知道保罗有真本事,而且他非常努力,想为球队做出贡献。然而,保罗没有机会

“OK, OK!” the coach finally agreed. “Don’t let us down, Paul. It’s your time to shine.”
Paul jumped up and rushed ont the court. And clearly, all the extr hours [13]that he’d spent practising alone paid of. The other team just couldn’t keep up wit his energ and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crow couldn’t stop clappin and cheerin.

本周,狮子队正在与我们的劲敌熊队比赛,这是一支本赛季战绩完美的球队。他们没有输过一场比赛。这将是一场硬仗。保罗这时并不知道他很快就能拥有一直等待的机会。
第二部分
突然,我和一名球员撞到了一起,疼痛在我身上迅速蔓延。我的膝盖受伤严重。球队围在我身边,看起来很担心。最后一节即将开始,我们队已经落后10分。
我平静地说:“我可能不能继续上场了,教练。”医生把冰袋放在我的膝盖上。
“不行,”教练斩钉截铁地回答。“我们没有别的球员了!”
“保罗怎么样?”有人建议。
“保罗?”教练说,“他不行!”
“给他个机会吧,教练!”我说,“我们还能损失什么呢?”
“没错,”另一名球员说,“不管怎样我们都要输了,让保罗上场吧!”
“让我试试吧,教练!我不会让你失望的!”保罗说。
“好吧,好吧!”教练最终同意了。“别让我们失望,保罗。你发光发亮的时刻到了。”
保罗跳起来冲上球场。显然,他所有独自练习的额外时间都得到了回报。对手队跟不上他的力量和速度。他的进球一个接一个,人群不停地鼓掌欢呼。
比赛结束时,我们队以两分的优势赢得了比赛。
“嗯,”教练一边拍着保罗的肩膀一边说,“你已经为自己赢得了球队中的位置,‘大个子’!

make+宾语+宾语补足语
句型公式
【句法分析】
make作及物动词时,意为“使某人/某物做什么/怎么样”,其后除接名词或代词作宾语外,还要在宾语后面加上宾语补足语,组成复合宾语。
(1)“make+宾语+形容词/副词/介词短语”意为“使……处于某种状态”,此处的形容词一般表示人的感受或情绪。
(2)“make+宾语+名词(短语)”意为“使/让某人成为……;使……当……”(宾语一般是人,表示职位的名词前通常不加冠词)。
(3)“make+宾语+不带to的动词不定式”意为“使/让某人做……”,宾语一般是人(这种结构中的动词不定式在被动语态中必须带上to)。
(4)“make+宾语+现在分词(短语)”意为“使……一直做某事”。
(5)“make+宾语+过去分词(短语)”意为“使/让别人做某事,使/让某事/某物被……”,宾语补足语与宾语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系。
[温馨提示] 当不定式短语或宾语从句作宾语时,为了使句子保持平衡,常用it作形式宾语, 而把真正的宾语放到宾语补足语的后面,即“make+it+名词/形容词+不定式短语/宾语从句”。
【活学活用】
(1)单句填空
①Because of his limited English, he is afraid that he can’t make himself (understand).
②She makes it a rule (keep) her room neat and tidy after coming back from school.
③It is impolite of you to make the guests (wait) outside for such a long time.
④They want to make clear to the public that they do an important and necessary job.
(2)写作金句

众所周知,网络使我们的生活变得容易、方便。
