【推荐1】Jordan had his eye on a scoring record. Jordan took a deep breath as he stood in the doorway, looking in at the basketball court. Maybe today I’ll make history, he thought.

The city’s youth basketball league was holding a celebration. Today’s championship game marked 50 years since the league’s first title game (冠军争夺赛).

Before the game, Jordan looked over a special program. It listed the winners of each championship game and the top scorers.

Jordan stopped when he read the name of the top scorer from a game 30 years before. “Devin, look!” he said to his friend, “You see who has the all-time record? My dad! Twenty-four points. But he never told me that.”

“Twenty-four points,” Devin said. “That’s great.”

Jordan’s best was 19 points. He was the league’s top scorer.

When his parents showed up at the gym, Jordan brought the program over to them.

His dad laughed. “I had quite a game that day,” he said. “But look at the score. I prefer to trade all my points for a win.”

Jordan hadn’t noticed that his dad’s team had lost by one point.

“That was a great group of teammates,” Dad said. “I am still a friend of many of them”

As game time came near, Jordan slapped hands with his teammate Tara and then started to warm up. The courts filled up quickly.

Jordan felt strangely calm. He’d played so many games in this gym that it was like his own home. Jordan had led his team to a victory over the Lions last season. Why shouldn’t today be like that?

Jordan grew even more confident when he hit the first 2 shots (投篮).

The Lions called a break. Jordan ran to the bench and jumped up and down with excitement.

“Great start,” Coach said. “But those guys are tough. They’ll come back on us.”

He was right. By half-time, the Lions had pulled ahead, 27-24.

Jordan looked up at his parents. His dad nodded and called, “Great work!”

But Jordan didn’t feel quite as confident as he had before.

The teams traded baskets throughout the second half, with neither building a lead.

Eleven seconds left. The scoreboard was clear: LIONS 51. BADGERS 51.

Coach told Jordan to bring the ball up the court. “Look for Devin inside, but take the shot if you’re open,” he said.

Jordan glanced at his dad again. His dad pointed to Jordan, then held up two fingers on one hand and three fingers on the other.

“Me?” Jordan mouthed.

Dad nodded. Jordan had scored 23 points. Another basket would break the record. And it was the right time to do it!

Jordan ran right, then left, but he was still a long way from the basket.

The viewers started counting the seconds. “Four... three... two.”

Jordan rose to shoot. As the Lions rushed toward him, he passed the ball to Devin—wide open near the basket.

Devin turned and shot. The ball fell cleanly through the net for the winning points.

“Yes!” Jordan shouted. After celebrating with his team, he ran to hug his parents. “You still have the record,” he told his dad.

Dad smiled. “You have something more important. A championship. And great teammates. Congratulations on your history!”

1. Which is the correct order of the things below?
a. Jordan ran to hug his parents after the celebration.

【推荐2】Last year, I went to a summer camp in the United States with my classmates. It was my first time going abroad.

Students join in groups, speaking freely and creating a cheerful atmosphere(氛围). I had to work hard to learn more vocabularies, so I could better communicate with my international classmates. I used to pay little attention to my word usage(使用), but now I pay more attention.

During my visit, I also went to some famous universities in Boston, New York and Washington. We learned about the history behind the universities. At MIT(麻省理工学院), we saw lots of names on a wall in the hall. The tour guide told us they were the names of students who had lost their lives during wars.

【推荐3】Love, joy and the warm feeling of getting together don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So what should a poor family do?

When I was 10, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted for the New Year was a pogo stick(弹簧单高跷). However, my mother said it was so expensive that we couldn’t afford one.

On a Saturday before New Year, my family went shopping together. While my mother and I were picking out the gifts, my dad said, “I’ll be back soon-I need to see something in the tool area.” A moment later, he came back with a long box. I remembered wondering if there was a pogo stick in it.

When we arrived home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I was so excited and I knew as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom(扫帚).

That New Year morning, I got some gifts like a tiger toy and a saving pot, but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted. How upset I felt at that moment though I didn’t want my parents to see!

After cleaning up the room, my dad went to the garage. When he came back, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it! My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.

Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful memories. They were full of my childhood. I will never forget all the joy my parents brought into my life.

【推荐3】Thought to by some as “China’s Mona Lisa”, the painting Along the River During Qingming Festival is kept in the Palace Museum and seldom shown to the public. That's why Ma Min, a young art teacher at Nanjing Zhonghua High School, helped her 300 students work together to recreate this famous painting.

The students have been working on the painting since October. They had to use their imagination to fill in details（细节）that were unclear in the painting, such as small trees or eaves（屋檐）. They communicated with each other and made sure that their parts matched with each other both in form and style.

The students also had to do a lot of work in addition to painting. They did a lot of research and made some interesting findings. Li Zixuan, 13, was asked to paint the busy streets along the river. She learned that pillars（柱子）were used to create boundaries near the river. Across this boundary, vendors（商贩）were not allowed to do business and shops were not allowed to open. Otherwise, they would be punished with beatings.

The students also made a video to show their findings for other students to learn from. “The students made discoveries and innovations（创新）based on historical inheritance（传承）and their own thinking,” Ma said. “This is their own artistic creation.”
