The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.“Our experience in China has been that it

4、 is going to be explosive in its growth,: said Stern. The strategy（戰(zhàn)略）in China is television. “Weve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.”The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for more than 200 countries in 42 languages will put that to th

5、e test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.“It doesnt matter where the players come from, al the NBA teams now know that they ha

6、ve to scout攬得(人才) internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBAs vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many

7、 people can earn the respect of their American peers(同行). Others, such as the Houston Rockets Chinese center Yao Mingnumber one draft pick in 2003 and the Detroit Pistons 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicicnumber two overall in this year s draft , are icons(偶像) in-waiting. It is the ultimate revolutionth

12、o be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手術(shù))”, one replied. I wa

13、s pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending scre

14、ws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked.

15、hoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautif

16、ul people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost.

20、ccepts it as it isCThink of some of your favorite singers. When you listen，they can make you happy or sad，peaceful or angry. They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many waysemotionally，physically and mentally. But becoming a great singer is

21、nt as easy as listening to one. It takes practice，devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera(歌劇)star Carol Vaness.At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings. Carols voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person

22、in the theater，without a microphone，even when shes singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes. “When you breathe，its like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater，”Carol explains.“You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.

Carol decided to make opera her goal，not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Ope

26、ra is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing，the emotions(情感)ar

27、e expressed by words and music comes to life. Today，Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace. “Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it，”says Carol，“because singing

28、is a great joy. Thats why I sing. In fact，thats why everybody sings.29. According to the passage，the Metropolitan Opera in New York City _ .
