第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

WHEN an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no "I" in "team".

There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.

It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.

Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times in a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.

When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates.

Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates. They are brothers.

The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and is considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year.

There is a saying that goes, "A successful team beats with one heart." If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.36. What example do Garnett and Allen set to their teammates?

A. We should take things seriously.

B. We should not be selfish.

C. We should learn to develop individual ability.

D. Never give up.

37. Which statement is RIGHT?

A. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett played on the same team at the beginning.

B. Pierce plays the most important role in the team.

C. Teamwork brings the team victory.

D. They three played in the game all the time.

38. According to this passage, what plays the most important role in matches?

A. Individual statistics. B. Cheers. C. Training. D. Teamwork.

39. What can you conclude from the text?

A. Union is strength. B. Never too late to learn.

C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Practice makes perfect.
