Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

(2010·福建省厦门市质检)

Kids in a Sudanese refugee(难民) camp stir up a

cloud of dust as they kick around a football.NBA

superstar Tracy McGrady watches from a distance before

offering to buy the kids a grass pitch for 1,000.

Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil.Or maybe he just wants to do something—anything—to give these children some hope.But he is told，politely，that grass is not what the kids need.

This scene appears in 3 Point，a new documentary，which shows the Houston Rockets star coming face­to­face with the reality that life is more than sport.

McGrady,29，writes on his website that he traveled to Africa because he was tired of only reading about it in news.“Who were the faces behind the statistics？”He said. “I needed to see it for mysel f.”

And he did.He stepped out of his large house and flew to a place torn to bits by war and famine.He slept in a tent.He kept away from minefields.He talked with people who have been suffering.And he swallowed his pride.

But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a pitch of grass.Sport gave him a chance，so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.

McGrady was eyed by NBA managers as a teenager and he didn't bother going to college.Instead，he leaped right into the NBA.Since that move，basketball has given him a handsome living，but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people.

As McGrady would learn in Africa，most people see sports as just a break from life's difficulties.They don't mistake it for life itself.

Only McGrady knows how this Africa trip changed him，but I'd bet that，at the very least，it has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful.

McGrady doesn't own an NBA championship ring.He hasn't risen to the heights
