Many great basketball players had clever nicknames (绰号), usually describing the player’s overall style on the court (球场). Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players.
“Tiny”
Nate Archibald, at six feet one inch tall, was small for a basketball player. Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA. Interestingly, his nickname originated off the court: he was named after his father, “Big Tiny”.
“Magic”
Earvin Johnson was called “Magic” by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game. Johnson was a skillful player, often doing the unexpected, to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience. He also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.
“The Mailman”
Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently. Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz, gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time. He also won two Olympic gold medals, as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain and in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.
“The Iceman”
George Gervin made the most difficult shots look easy. He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game, playing in a relaxed way under pressure. Gervin, who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard.
1.Whose nickname has nothing to do with basketball?

Last summer, after 16 years in the United States, I traveled to the city in Russia where I grew up. I was the first in my family to return after all those years. My mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the location of my grandfather’s tomb at the local cemetery(公墓), and she asked me to visit it.
It was really important to her that I go there. My grandfather died when I was little, and she wanted me to remember him. He was still very much alive in her mind, and she wanted him to continue to live in my mind as well.
So I promised that the first thing I’d do when I arrived would be to visit the cemetery. However, I got caught up in work, and I had a lot of catching up to do with my childhood friends. It wasn’t until a day before I was leaving that I found time to go to the cemetery.
It was late in the afternoon, and right by the entrance was a lady who was selling flowers. By then she had only seven carnations left in her bucket. I bought them all, but when I reached for my wallet, I realized I didn’t have the map with me. I had no idea what had happened to that map. And I had no idea where my grandfather’s tomb was located.
I could call my mom and ask her. But the problem was that I had already told her I’d gone to the cemetery. What was I going to say?
I found the main office. Fortunately it was open, and inside was a small office. Behind the counter was an old woman, and she said she’d help me locate my grandfather’s records.
A couple of minutes later, she came back with a printout. It turned out there were 17 Abraham Pikarskis on the list. I chose the two whose age I believed closely matched my grandfather’s.
I set off to look for them. I hoped that at least one would have a portrait（肖像） on the tombstone. This way I’d know which tomb was mine.
I found the first tomb and it said Abraham Pikarski on it, but there was no portrait. Only an inscription (碑铭) : From the Loving Wife and Children.
I had no idea whether this was the right one, so I went off to look for the other one. I found it, too, and it was virtually indistinguishable from the first one. It said Abraham Pikarski, no portrait. The inscription was slightly different. It said: From the Grieving（伤心的） Family.
I had no idea what to do. Was my family the loving one or the grieving one? I was standing there waiting, thinking maybe some sort of special feeling would come to me. Maybe I’d feel some sort of close relationship with the person who was lying there.
I put three carnations on that tomb, and I went back to the first one. I stood there, too, for a while, and again I was hoping that I’d feel something special. But it was getting late, and I had to pack for the trip back to New York, so I put three carnations on this tomb.
I stood there with the last flower in my hand. Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to? Should I just throw it away? I had to come up with some sort of a solution.
Then, suddenly, I knew what to do. I put that flower on that same tomb where I was standing. I thought if this is really my grandfather who is lying there, then all is good, and he got the most. But if not, then let this be kind of comfort to the stranger, because somebody else’s grandson came all the way from America to pay his respects.
I went back to the hotel and flew home to New York the next day. I never found that map again.
Mom and Dad picked me up at the airport. On the way home from the airport, my mom started crying, “I’m so happy that you took the time to visit your grandfather’s tomb. It really means so much to me. You know when you called and told me you went there, I thought you were just saying it to make me feel good.”
When I was still in the air this morning, her cousin who lives in Russia had called and told my mother that she had just come from the cemetery and had seen my flowers there. So my mom knew that I had really done this.
Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw? Three or four?
But then I decided that maybe I should not say anything at all.
1.Why did the author visited his grandfather’s tomb just before he returned to America?
A. Because he was occupied with many other things.
B. Because he lost the map his mother drew for him.
C. Because he wasn’t well familiar with the cemetery.
D. Because he didn’t have affection for his grandfather.
2.Why didn’t the author turn to his mother when he couldn’t find the map?
A. He was able to locate grandfather’s tomb.
B. He couldn’t make up a reasonable excuse.
C. He intended to recover the map by himself.
D. He was unwilling to be thought to lie.
3.The author chose the two tombs out of the 17 according to ________.
A. their portrait
B. their age
C. their inscription
D. their location
4.Why did the author’s mother cry on the way home?
A. She kept grandfather in mind.
B. The author showed respect to a stranger.
C. The author kept his promise.

5.We can infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.

B. he was content to have presented the followers to a stranger
C. he got to know which tomb was his grandfather’s in the end

The problem with students using Google is not that the search leader is unable to offer useful educational content. It's that finding that content using simple search terms is a difficult art to master. But some educational companies and organizations aim to make it easier to find useful educational content among the Web. They are forming a working group to come up with more detailed criteria(标准)that could eventually be added into the search lines for Google, Bing, and Yahoo !
The project was encouraged by a joint move by those major search engines to help users do more effective Web?searches. The idea behind the new education corporation is to determine a common “framework” for narrowing search results for education content—by subject area，or source type，or content type, or any number of possible criteria. The goal is also to persuade publishers of educational content to use a matching set of tags(分类)to help the search engines sort out their content more easily.
Search engines are used by college students, but they were not designed for them. This has been a subject of much handwringing (绝望) among professors, who worry that students are not finding the most reliable content on the Internet even if more and more content providers of good fame—textbook publishers, scholars, universities and many others—have been putting useful academic resources on the open Web.
Michael Johnson, a member who will be serving on a working group devoted to developing the framework over the next six months or so, said “The project is aimed at benefiting the publishers of educational content as much as students. ”
1.What may annoy students using Google to help them?
A. They can't search useful educational content at home.
B. Google doesn't provide valuable educational content.
C. It's hard to find educational content in simple and effective ways.
D. There are so many students searching the same using Google now.
2.To improve Web searches for students the working group will ________.
A. demand the major search engines offer more content
B. train more students to surf safely on the Internet
C. ask students to use more kinds of search engines
D. link better standards to the major search engines
3.What may publishers of educational content help in the joint move?
A. They should produce less educational content with better quality.
B. They can set standard tags to match with searched contents.
C. They may develop better searching software.
D. They will provide more educational content.
4.From the third paragraph we can see ________.
A. not all content providers of good fame offer reliable content
B. textbook publishers shouldn't put resources on the open Web
C. college professors don't believe in content on the Internet
D. college students don't know how to use search engines
