Most 23-year-olds have not done enough in life to be worthy of having their own documentary(纪录片)

  Most 23-year-olds aren't LeBron James.

  The NBA superstar, who recently won gold at the Beijing Olympics, has just released More Than a Game. It is a documentary that follows his rise to stardom (明星地位) and how he and four childhood friends overcame long odds to win a national championship in high school.

  Combining footage (镜头) taken during James' career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, US, along with one-on-one interviews by writer/director Kris Belman, home videos, and personal family photographs, the film is about much more than basketball. At its core (核心) is a story of friendship, loyalty and love.

  "We set out with a goal as kids and we wanted to accomplish that someway, somehow by using basketball as a tool, not knowing that it was going to create other opportunities for us," James said. "We didn't know it was going to create a brotherhood and trust. We grew from kids into young men."

  While James is the star, his former teammates, Dru Joyce III, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee and Romeo Travis, play a major role in the film.

  Their journey began together as 8-year-old boys, winds through years traveling all over America playing in basketball tournaments and finishes in their senior season at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

  At the time, Belman was a college film student. He set out to film James and his friends' season as his final school project, a 10-minute documentary. But after gaining the trust of the players and coach Dru Joyce, Belman spent two months filming and eventually teamed with producer Harvey Mason Jr to the full-length feature.

  James hopes the film will inspire youngsters (年轻人).

  "We set out with a goal when we were eight and we accomplished it when we were 18," he said. "It's a great story and I wanted to get it out to kids that have a dream, that they should continue to go after it, believe in it and live it if they want to accomplish something."

1.LeBron James achieved his goal set at 8 when         .

       A.he won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics

       B.He won a national championship in high school

       C.he became a collage student

       D.he was interviewed by Kris Belman

2.Which of the following is unlikely to be included in the description of James?

       A.Friendly.             B.Faithful.              C.Hardworking.      D.Self-centered.

3.More Than a Game is           .

       A.James’ favorite story about his childhood

       B.a documentary filmed by James’ classmate

       C.a film made by Belman

       D.an article a bout James’ high school life

4.We can learn from the passage that More Than a Game is        .

       A.inspiring            B.dull                    C.puzzling              D.imaginary
