Step 3:Imagine that the passages about Yao Ming appear in a Chinese newspaper in English. Write a reply.
In my opinion, the reason why he is so nice is that he is used to the situation he played inChina. In the Shanghai Sharks, the whole team played for him and he never had to ask for the ball --- he dominated every game. I believe that Chinese sportsmen and women are as good as --- often better than players from other countries, but we have a natural idea of politeness and team play rather than the individual star status which is typical of world basketball and soccer.

2017-2018学年高中英语Module1BasketballSectionⅠIntroducti
Module 1 Basketball Section Ⅰ Introduction &Reading-Pre-readingPeach Baskets and Soccer BallsDr. James Naismith, an educator, physician, and minister, is responsible for the history of basketball. He developed the game when he served as an instructor at the Y．M.C.A.Training School in Springfield Massachusetts in 1891. Students needed a form of indoor activity during the winter months，so Naismith combined football, soccer and hockey to develop the sport. He attached wooden peach baskets to the walls as goals. The ball needed to be retrieved (取回，重新得到) from the basket after each successful shot. Often, spectators (观众) would interfere with shots. Thus, the backboard was introduced in 1906.College Teams and Professional LeaguesThe game became popular, and soon, schools across the U．S. and Canada adopted its use as a form of physical activity. During World War Ⅱ， U．S. armed forces played pickup games that drew crowds of locals, introducing the game to an international crowd.Although many colleges in the U．S. formed teams during the late 1890s, interestgrew when college teams met in Madison Square Garden in New York City. Once established as a major college sport, interest in the game extended (扩大) to the professional ranks.The National Basketball League formed in 1898. Its purpose: prevent player exploitation (剥削) and promote a safe game. This organization lasted a mere (仅仅) five years. Other leagues shot up, but in 1949, the NBL joined the Basketball Association of America to form the NBA — National Basketball Association.First College Basketball GameThe first ever college basketball game was played on January 18, 1896, when the University of Iowa invited student athletes from the new University of Chicago for an experimental game. Final score: Chicago 15, Iowa 12, a bit different from the hundredpoint scores of today.In 1963, college games were first broadcast on national TV, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that sports fans ranked basketball up there with football and baseball.Section_ⅠIntroduction_&_Reading —Prereading[原文呈现] [读文清障]Michael Jordan—Head and Shoulders Above the Rest! During the 1990s, Michael Jordan was probably the bestknown① athlete in the world. He was the top scorer②in the NBA, and played for the Chicago Bulls from 1984 to 1993.
