| It seems that fate likes to play strange jokes on those who are famous.The manner in which fate saved Clive of India for his mission in history is a matter of record.Downhearted, ill, and depressed, Clive, then a young clerk, placed a revolver(左轮枪手) to his head and snapped the trigger time after time.It refused to fire and he realised that suicide was not to be his lot.A subordinate (下属) took the same pistol from Clive's hand and fired it six times in succession (连续)． A somewhat different but disturbing fate laid in store for Robert Todd Lincoln, the eldest son of the Civil War President.Young Lincoln had received orders to report to Washington.In White House he was told that his parents had gone to Fords Theatre and they had requested that he join them there.Robert Todd Lincoln went to the theatre and, just as he entered the building, he was stretched back by a crowd of excited people, among whom were the stretcher bearerscarrying the dying President. During the administration of President Garfield, Robert Todd Lincoln became Secretary of War. He was a close personal friend of President Garfield and, when the President prepared to leave for a visit to the seashore at Elberton, New Jersey, Secretary Lincoln accepted an invitation to go along .As Secretary Lincoln reached the railway station, he encountered the stretcher bearers carrying out the fatally wounded President Garfield, victim of an assassin's(刺客) bullet. Twenty years later, as Robert Todd Lincoln entered the Temple of Music in Buffalo to greet President McKinley, the President was carried past him by stretcher bearers.Garfield, Lincoln, and McKinley were the presidents to be assassinated (暗杀), and Robert Todd Lincoln was the only man who was on the scene immediately after all the shootings. |

| Finally, there is the evolution of Yao's mind. He has become a wise man who has devoted time and money into life after the NBA. Yao said he did not only see his investment in the current CBA system in purely financial terms, but also as a way to support the development of basketball in China and return the favour to Shanghai for looking after him in his early days. A few days before our most recent interview, Yao was asked to attend an award ceremony for top athletes in China. He realised his superstar friends and fellow athletes were often forced to take lowpaying jobs because they had little formal education. As boss of the Shanghai Sharks, Yao has invited both teachers and mentors to help his players better manage their financial futures. Another of Yao's problems has been balancing the knowledge he has gained in the NBA with the traditions of home. As head of the Sharks he has to consider what's best for his team, even if it means hurting some of his closest friends. Like his first coach, Li Qiuping, who was in hospital when Yao told him he was going to have to replace him with an American coach. Navigating traditional Chinese society, he said, can be tricky at times. He sometimes wistfully thinks back to his early days, when he just played basketball. Even so, he never shies away from the challenge. When I think about these aspects of Yao's life, I admire him as an example of someone who is downtoearth and has not let fame go to his head. As Yao will enter a new phase in his life, his 30s, fatherhood, returning to the NBA, and the next step in his career as manager, he shows the courage to make a difference in the world. Yang Lan One On One is shown on Shanghai Dragon TV, Sat.23:10 PM. |
| 1．Which of the following statements is true? |
| A．Yao invests in CBA just because he wants to make money. B. Yao pays his fellow athletes little money. C. Yao has become a father of a boy. D．Sometimes Yao has to hurt some friends for the profit of the whole team. |
| 2．What is the meaning of the underlined word "tricky"? |
| A．helpful B．difficult C．easy D. special |

| A．is depressed B. runs after fame C. is dependable D．loves the earth |
| 4．This article may be extracted from________. |
