2.26-meter-tall Yao Ming made his NBA debut (初次登台) on October 23, 2002 and got 6 points for the Houston Rockets in the game. The next day, he got 13 points (得分)in another game.
Most people think that Yao Ming is a born basketball player. But Yao said, “When you watch it on TV, it looks very easy. But when you are playing in the NBA, it is really not so easy.” He said that joining the Houston Rockets was a new start and a new challenge. “I hope that through very hard work I can make everyone happy and help the Rockets win more games,” he said.
Yao Ming speaks some English. Both he and his teammates can understand each other. They don't think there is a language problem. While Yao Ming faces this new challenge（挑战）, the people of Houston have shown great interest in him and they hope Yao Ming will bring new energy (活力) to the Rockets. The team has started having lessons to learn more about China, and many people who work for the Rockets have learned to speak some Chinese.

A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile zone（区域）, when a 36 came behind him. Right away the man started thinking of 37 to give.
As the policeman came to him, he said, “Hi, officer, I guess you 38 me a little bit over the speed limit（限制）. I was in a rush to get 39 , to be with my wife and kids. You know my younger son wasn’t feeling too 40 when I left home this morning. I’m afraid he’s ill.”
The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started 41 something in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was 42 writing. When the man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driving 43 so far, the policeman came to his window, 44 him a piece of paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man wondered: how much was this 45 going to be? However, the man was 46 it was not a ticket at all and he began to 47 :
“I had a daughter who was 48 by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a few months in 49 , and then was free, free to hug（拥抱） his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to 50 until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to 51 that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive (原谅) him. So pray (祈祷) for me, and be 52 when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”
The man was completely 53 and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove 54 , even a few miles 55 the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
