I kept on trying, though. ‎ ‎ I started playing in the 2nd grade. My brother, who was in the 7th grade, would always _16_ me. He would _17_ the basket on purpose(故意) so I wouldn’t lose against him. One day, though, another boy shouted at my brother: “ Go away! You stink!” My brother _ 18 _ to stop playing basketball with me. I felt so _19_ that I wanted to stop playing.

Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.‎ ‎ People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.‎ ‎ Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.‎ ‎ In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married（结婚）. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband’s. Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations(情况) and their husband’s in other situations. And some use both their own name and their husband’s.‎ ‎ ( ) 26.

By now, more than l,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.[来源:学#科#网Z#X#X#K]‎ ‎ The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities including Taipei, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.‎ In Beijing, more and more people are taking part in the activity. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5th (World Environment Day). The slogan(口号) for the day is," If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day."‎ So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. "We can't control the weather, but we can choose not to drive," said Wu Zhonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days ‎ this year. In the first quarter of 2007, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period last year. Much of the dust comes from the desert, but cars cause most of the air pollution.

On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.‎ It stood outside a furniture(家具) shop. "Buy it," she said at once. "We'll carry it home on the roof-rack(车顶架) .I've always wanted one like that."‎ What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.‎ As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife ‎ said, "There's along line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake (超车)?" Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers (警官) inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church (教堂). One of the officers came to me.‎ ‎ "Right, sir." he said. "Do you need any more help now?" I didn't quite understand. "Thanks, officer," I said. "You've been very kind. I live just down the road." He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. "Well, well," he said and laughed. "It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was----er, something else." My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood why the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. "Yes, it's a bookshelf, but thanks again." I drove home as fast as I could.‎ ‎( ) 33.

Why were the police and other drivers so kind to the writer?‎ ‎ A. Because they thought the writer liked studying very much and needed a bookshelf.‎ ‎ B.
