GERALD Christian is in Grade 8 at Ridge Road Middle School in North Carolina, US. She is a member of her school basketball team. Late last month, the 14-year-old faced a big problem. Her mother lost her job. She thought she couldn't pay the $ 50 fee for the city's sports meet this year.
Christian was not the only one who had this problem. Some other middle school players in the city had the same problem.
That's why famous NBA player Michael Jordan gave $ 250, 000 to the city earlier this month. He wanted to help the poor students. Jordan said: "I know there are kids who get an education by playing sports. We need to keep sports alive for them."
Christian was shocked. "Really? I can't believe Michael did that for us. These days, I go to bed thinking about it and I wake up thinking about it," she said. "Now the problem is over. "
Christian wanted to say "thanks" to Jordan. "Michael, thank you for giving me the chance to show myself. I will do my best at the meet.

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填写表格。(每空限填一词)
Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.
French
French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.
Chinese
Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.
Australians
Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.
Germans
Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.
All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet!

Minutes later, the storm came. However, because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal, no one was hurt.
“The radio really did work very well.              (我们对它的工作感到很高兴),”William Tomic said. “The parents were as well.”
The U.S. government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.
Every year, more than 10,000 big thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes(龙卷风)and some hurricanes(飓风)take place in the U.S., so the waming radios are very useful.They not only give people warnings about bad weather,but also give warnings about other dangerous things.
