       When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles  36  he learns an important lesson: there is no “I” in “team”.

       There is  37  better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all  38  on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it.  39  last season, they  40  to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and  41  the NBA in the process.

       It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA  42 . If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.

       Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He  43  shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and  44  on defense. His  45  showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that  46 .

       When the Celtics  47  and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench.  48 , they stood and cheered and  49  for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and  50 .

       Now, the guys who don’t play know they can still  51  the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnet, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong  52 . They are more than just teammates. They are  53 .

       The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to  54  the Eastern Conference championship again this year.

       There is a saying that  55 , “A successful team beats with one heart.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

Think of London and you will probably remember the bright red double decker buses. Think of Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, and the noisy tuk-tuks may come to mind. Think of San Francisco and you might see the city’s cable cars .

Imagining what these cities would look like without those is difficult. They are symbols of these cities that make them different. However, these city symbols are not always so well loved by their city leaders. City leaders want what is best for their city, which often means the most modern transport.

In Bangkok, city leaders have banned (禁止) tuk-tuks because they consider them noisy and polluting. However, the ban has largely been unsuccessful as it has not changed Thai people’s love for the cheap tuk-tuks over taxis.

In London the city’s first ever mayor (市长) removed the red double decker buses, which he thought were old fashioned. His plan worked, but Londoners were unhappy to lose the nice old buses they believed represented the best of their city. They made their unhappiness felt when the mayor came up for re-election. Most Londoners voted for his competitor, who promised to bring the bus back.

As for San Francisco, several cable cars are still in use but mainly as tourist attractions. They are too slow to be used for anything other than scenic trips.

City transport symbols may have a place in their city people’s hearts, but it seems they are increasingly out of step with the modern world. As Londoners have proved, their continued life depends on people’s willingness to fight for their survival.

64．What’s the purpose of writing the first paragraph?   

A. To introduce some city transport symbols.    

B. To explain why some cities are popular.

C. To talk about modern transport in some cities.    

D. To attract more tourists to visit some cities.

65．The London double decker bus is returning mainly because__________.

A. the new mayor loves it                 

B. Londoners fought for it

C. it is an improved transport          

D. it is popular with tourists

66．Which proves the old city transport symbols are not loved by city leaders?

A. Only a few cable cars are still in use in San Francisco.

B. Bangkok city leaders tried to remove the cheap tuk-tuks.

C. The mayor who sold double decker buses lost the re-election.

D. The new mayor will bring back improved double decker buses.

67．What can we infer from the passage?

A. Modern cities should remove old city transport symbols.

B. The writer thinks highly of the old city transport symbols.

C. Old city transport symbols face the problem of survival.

D. Tourist cities will lose their attraction without the symbols.
