A. Never give up
David likes basketball. He is reading an article about Spud Webb, a retired American NBA player. Here is the article.
课文呈现
The shortest player in the NBA
Spud Webb was born in Texas, the USA, in 1963. He was very small—much smaller than the other kids at school. ① However, he had a big dream—he wanted to play in the NBA.
文章开头直接交代了故事主人公的出生年份和地点，为下文的展开做了铺垫。在写这类介绍人物的文章时，用这种方法开头，简洁明了。
使用连词However表示转折，自然引出下文。
温馨提示：此符号表示“考点精讲点拨”链接。
课文呈现
While attending junior high, Spud tried out for the school team, but he was refused at first because he was too small. ② He did not lose heart. ③ When he finally got the chance, he scored 20 points in his first game. From then on, he was the star of the team.
In senior high, Spud often had to sit in the stands because of his height. He practised even harder and got the coach to change his mind. Spud went on to become leader of the team. ④ In his last year of senior high, he was named Player of the Year in Texas. ⑤
get sb. to do sth. 使某人做某事，此处get作使役动词，
意为“使，让”，该短语相当于make sb. do sth.

However, no university would invite him to play basketball simply because he was only 170 cm tall. ⑥ He decided to play at a junior college. There he led his team to the national championship. This brought him to the attention of North Carolina State University. As a result, he succeeded in getting a scholarship. ⑦
Although he was a great player at university, the NBA was not interested in him because all its players were more than 20 cm taller than he was. ⑧
