Gilbert Arenas was born on January 6, 1982 in Tampa, Florida. His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.
When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he was already the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" because people told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.
After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.

18. Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors?
A. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.
B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.
C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.

第1题：
If the period between twenty and thirty is the critical one in the formation of intellectual and professional habits, the period below twenty is more important still for the fixing of personal habits, properly so called, such as vocalization and pronunciation, gesture, motion, and address.

Hardly ever, indeed, no matter how much money there be in his pocket, can he eve n learn to dress like a gentleman-born.
正确答案：如果说二三十岁这个时期是(一个人的)形成知识和职业习惯的关键时期，那么，二十 7 岁以下的时期对形成所谓的个人习惯更为重要，如发声发音习惯、手势步态习惯，动作和讲话习惯等。二十岁以后学的语言不可能不带外来腔的;不管他口袋有多少钱，也不可能穿戴得像个生就的绅士那样。
