    ( B ) After 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate. Bryant wore No 24 when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has been not changed since. Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs. So guessing Bryant’s motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists. There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey. Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is “all about money . Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey to his fans. Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard fan of the popular TV drama “24 . All this talk has turned the number changed into a major issue.

An outstanding player’s jersey number won’t be used after his retirement. D. A great player often changes his jersey number in the same team. ( C ) Writing being largely a self-taught occupation, texts on how to get about it -though great in number- seldom are of much use. You try, and fail. Then try again, and perhaps fail not quite so grievously. Until at last, if you have some gift for it, the failures become less frequent, or at any rate less noticeable. It is this ability to conceal one’s defectsthat passes, finally, for accomplishment. Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism, outright rejection, nagging insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts. It is uncommon, therefore, to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing life. A friend recently loaned me such a book, however - one I wish I’d had the luck to read years ago, and which I would commend to any young person bent on making a career of words. It is the autobiography of the English novelist Anthony Trollope, first published in 1883, the year after his death. Needing some means to support himself, Trollope at age 19 signed on as a junior clerk in the British postal service. He was at his desk at 5:30 each morning to write for three hours. And he remained in the mail service 33 years, long after reputation and prosperity had come to him. Now, what of his advice? 1. For safety’s sake, arm yourself with some other skills, some other line of work to fall back on. That way, failure at writing, though the disappointment may be keen, will not mean utter ruin. 2. Do not depend overly much on inspiration. Writing is a craft, which Trollope compared to the craft of shoemaking. The shoemaker who has just turned out one pair of his work sets to work immediately on the next pair. 3. Have a story to tell, but, more important than that, people it with characters who will speak and move as living creatures in the reader’s mind. Without memorable characters, story alone is nothing. 4. Meet your deadlines. Life is endlessly “painful and troublesome for writers who can’t finish their work on time. 5. Do not be inflated by praise. And, above all, do not be crushed by criticism. 6. Understand the risks of writing for a living. “The career, when successful, is pleasant enough certainly; but when unsuccessful, it is of all careers the most painful. 72. This passage mainly discusses . A. the difficulties and risks of making a career of words B. the uselessness of instructions contained in writing manuals C. the autobiography of the 19th century English novelist Anthony Trollope D. sound advice provided in A. Trollope’s autobiography 73. From the context we can figure out that the phrase “pass for in Paragraph 3 means . A. focus on B. be regarded as C. be equal to D. lie in 74. According to the author, writing . A. is basically a self-taught occupation and no instructions on how to deal with it are of any practical use B. is a “trial and error process and it does not count whether you have the gift for writing or not C. for a living is the most pleasant of all careers, full of praise and enjoyment D. sometimes provides good hopes of winning public praise and escaping humiliating poverty 75. From the passage we may infer that the author is most probably . A. an instructor of writing B. a writer C. an educator D. a publisher 【查看更多】
