Nate Robinson is unlike any other player in the NBA. This player is the shortest in the NBA, but he is one of the most fearless players. He is 1.75m tall. “In NBA, he looks like a fourth-grader among a group of high school students,” according to The Atlantic.

How can he compete (競(jìng)爭) with them? Robinson makes up(彌補(bǔ)) for this with his ability to jump. Without moving forwards or backwards, he can jump up to 110cm. However, confidence helps him more. “People talk about my height all the time, but I don’t really feel smaller than anyone else,” said Robinson. “I always think I’m on fire (充滿激情的).” No matter who you are or what you’ve won, he’s going to come at you. With that spirit, he has won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest(灌籃大賽) three times. Also, he has made many wonderful blocks (蓋帽).

Chicago Bulls played Miami Heat on May 10, 2013. LeBron James, the 2.03-meter-tall player from Miami Heat, went to shoot. But Robinson blocked him. He also blocked Shaquille O’Neal in Cleveland Cavaliers and even Yao Ming in Houston Rockets.

Nate Robinson is a hero. He has given many basketball fans hope. Maybe one day, you can also block big guys like LeBron James!

任務(wù)型閱讀

閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一詞）

As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy.

Make a homework plan

Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule(進(jìn)度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.

Watch where you work

A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don't study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.

Take a break

Most people's attention (注意力) don't last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive(多產(chǎn)的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.

Get help when you need it

Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
