My dad was in the radio business when I was growing up. He’d get tickets to a lot of different sporting events, and in 1984 we went to Madison Square Garden during Michael Jordan’s rookie season (新秀賽季). My dad took me to see Jordan put on a show.

I remember looking at my dad as an eight-year-old kid and saying, “I want to be Michael Jordan one day.” Dad laughed a bit and then turned to me and said, “Son, I love you, but you’re probably not going to be Michael Jordan.” Then my dad pointed to the man standing next to Jordan at the time, his agent (經(jīng)紀(jì)人) David Falk. My dad explained how Falk worked closely with players, and since then that’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.

Years passed and I became a sports agent. My job is simply to help professional(職業(yè)的) players find jobs. No two days are the same, which I find exciting. If it’s in-season, I’m talking to players about how they are feeling and how they’re performing from week to week. During the off-season, I try to make sure players’ lives are managed, so they can focus on (專注于) improving on the field.

Not everyone can be a sports star, but it’s more than possible to work on the business side of sports. I always tell the students I meet to go out of their way to introduce themselves to people. Relationships are so important in this business, and they can take you a long way.

1.The writer went to Madison Square Garden to see Jordan _______.

2.At first the writer want to be _______.

3.Who was David Falk? _______

4.The writer thinks his job is exciting because _______.

5.In the writer’s opinion, _______ are important in his business.

These days the subject of security(安全) on campus is talked about quite often. Some students' mobile phones are stolen, some students fight with and hurt one another, and others are knocked down by the fast running motorbikes or cars.

These problems are common on campus. I think there are three causes for these. Firstly, some students don’t take care of their own things. They are still young and not careful enough. Secondly, some students want to do everything well. They want to be the winners in exams, and they also want to be the winners in fighting. And thirdly, the campus guards don’t carry on their duties well.

In order to have a safe campus, all the students should be very careful about their own things. They should also mind their behaviors and act politely.

Mr. Robinson works at an office. Every day, he drives a long way to work. In order to avoid(避免) heavy traffic, he has to get up early and go to work without having breakfast. He often buys some bottles of milk and puts them in a big box in his office, so he can drink the milk whenever he gets hungry.

Last Friday, after arriving at his office as usual, he wanted to have some milk. But he found that two bottles of milk were missing. He thought someone who works in the same office must have taken the milk. So at noon, he said to all his workmates, “I wish the person who stole my milk can return them to me and apologize(道歉) in the afternoon. In fact, anyone who touched the box left his or her fingerprints(指紋) on it, so I can find out who did this by checking the fingerprints.” After saying this, he went out for lunch.

During lunch, he was thinking about what he should say to the person who would apologize in the afternoon. But when he got back to the office, no one apologized to him. To his surprise, all his milk, even the box, was missing.

1.Where does Mr. Robinson put his milk?

_______________________________

2.Why does Mr. Robinson go to work without having breakfast?

_______________________________

3.Do you think Mr. Robinson could find out who took his milk? Why or why not?
