But I wasnt good at it. I kept on trying, though. I started playing in the 2nd grade. My brother, who was in the 7th grade, would always _16_ me. He would _17_ the basket on purpose(故意) so I wouldnt lose against him. One day, though, another boy shouted at my brother: “ Go away! You stink!” My brother _ 18 _ to stop playing basketball with me. I felt so _19_ that I wanted to stop playing. About a week later, though, I saw my brother play in a real game. He was so good that I _20_ I had to keep playing. Now five years later I start in my schools basketball team. All my hard word has paid off. I always tell others never to give up, either. If someone puts you _21 _, remember they are only one person, and you must never stop trying. Never giving up helped me in other ways too. At school, when someone told me that algebra (代数) is too hard for me to understand, I decided not to give up. I knew that if I just kept on trying, I would _22 _ it in the end. Again, it _23_ a lot of work, but now I understand algebra well. You have to keep on trying, even when it hurts you so much that every part of your body _24_ you to stop. When you _25_ become a success, youll know that the reason you have become successful is that you never gave up. 16. A help B. teach C. best D. catch17. A. shot B. hit C. miss D. get18.

Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different. People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born. Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country. In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husbands after she gets married（结婚）. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husbands. Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations(情况) and their husbands in other situations. And some use both their own name and their husbands. () 26. Famous people want their new names to _.

It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through.
