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 that he learns an important lesson：there is no “I”in“team”．

    There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics．Paul Pierce，Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams．Yet，none of them had any titles to show for it．Then，1ast season，they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together．Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed 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 Championship．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 efforts too．

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

    When the Celtics were winning 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．Instead，they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates．They wanted to support their friends and reanimates．Now，the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnet, Allen and Pierce are playing．The Celtics have developed a strong relationship．They are more than just teammates．They are brothers．

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

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

Well—done on an Exam

    Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination．The closer you are to the exam，the more chance you have of storing and attaining key information．But do not overdo it．  1  An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period，so in the days leading tip to your first exam，get into the habit of being up and ready to work．It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it．

On the day of the exam，have a good breakfast，pack everything you need（pens，pencils，erasers，etc），then make your way to the examination hall in good time．  2   

Once in your seat，simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts．Close your eyes and take in a few slow，deep breaths to help you relax．When you turn over the test paper，spend a short period reading through all t he instructions and questions，paying particular attention to key verbs such as“discuss”，“compare”and“evaluate”．  3  It is always wise to allow 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers．Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle，begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest．It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered quest ion down on paper．Also remember to write clearly，and do not be afraid to express the unexpected：after all，examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical（模式化的）answers．

    4  If you need something else to focus on to help you collect your thoughts．Choose a fixture in the room，such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be  distracted．

    Finally，once you have finished，never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students．  5 

    A．Try not to look at those around you，or at the clock．

    B．When you get home，read the examination paper through and look up the other words you didn’t understand．

    C．Sleep，exercise and relaxation are all just as important．

    D．Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question．

    E．Go and have a well—earned rest——then prepare the next exam．

    F．Do not arrive too early，though，as other people’s anxiety can be contagious（传染性的），and you may suffer from undue panic．

    G．If possible，you can arrive early and communicate with those worried students and help them overcome their anxiety．
