All the little girls were delighted.The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, Im sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,” The war is over.” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers.

He wiped his feet at the door and closed the door after him, indicating that he was careful. He gave his seat immediately to that crippled（跛的）old man, showing that he was kind and thoughtful. He took off his cap when he came in and answered my questions promptly（立刻）, showing that he was polite and gentlemanly.”“All the rest stepped over the book which I had purposely put on the floor. He picked it up and placed it on the table; and he waited quietly for his turn instead of pushing and crowding.”“When I talked to him, I noticed his tidy clothing, his neatly brushed hair, and his clean fingernails.

While Yao embraced his new role as a commentator for the 26th FIBA Asia Championship, Yi, 24, became Chinas main man in the post-Yao era, leading his country to gold in the championship.Yi gave a powerful performance when his team needed it most. It was his important free throw that helped China beat Jordan 70-69 in the nail-biting final. In that game, Yi scored 25 points and 16 rebounds （篮板球），and blocked five shots.The victory also secured Chinas place in the London Olympic Games in 2020.“He brings a high level of intensity（强度）to the game, as well as incredible（不可思议的）skill,”said China coach Bob Donewald. “He loves to play in defense and encourage the whole team to do a great job defending against our opponents.”In fact, Yis role as team leader started even before Yaos retirement. He had to step up when Yao could not play because of an injury, and again when Wang Zhizhi cut back his playing time to keep form. Even so, Chinas first performance after Yaos retirement was not so impressive. In August, with Yi as captain, the team suffered an embarrassing seven straight losses in the Stankovic Cup.Yi was under huge pressure, Donewald told China Daily, “He didnt have his crew around him,”he said. “So the other team kept beating him with two or three players. If he had been playing with full support, he would have been an absolute monster（怪物）out there.”But Yi believed he needed time to develop an understanding with his teammates.“Every summer, he passes his experience and skills on to us after coming back from America. I can feel the change. He used to focus on himself, but now he is keen to instruct us,”said Su Wei, a former teammate from the Guangdong Southern Tigers.59. What does the underlined phrase“step into his basketball shoes”in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Wear Yao Mings shoes.B. Take over Yao Mings role.C. Buy Yao Mings shoes.D. Interest Yao Mings shoes.60. Why does AFP believe Yi Jianlian will be the next leader of the Chinese basketball team?A. Because he is strong and skilled.B. Because he passes his experience and skills on to his teammates.C. Because he performed wonderfully at the Asian basketball championship.D. Because he has developed a good understanding with his teammates.61. How has Yi changed, according to his former teammate Su Wei?A. He is willing to help his teammates than focus on himself.B. He plays more aggressively.C. He has his teammates around himself.D. He becomes stronger than before.62. Which is NOT correct according to the passage?A. Donewald loves to play in defense and encourage the whole team to defend against the opponents.B. Donewald didnt have his crew around Yi Jianlian in the Stankovic Cup.C. Su Wei is Yi Jianlians former teammate.D. Wang Zhizhi accepted his new role as a commentator for the 26th FIBA Asia Championship.DDangerous creaturesSome beach creatures are wonderful like dolphins, but others are dangerous.
