Kobe Bryant

After 10 seasons wearing the No.8 on his back,Kobe Bryant will become No.24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
Bryant wore No.24 when he was in early high school,but he changed to No.33 in his senior year. He switched to No.8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.
Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs（季后赛）.So guessing Bryant's motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists（专栏作家）.
There are all kinds of speculations.Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No. 23 jersey（运动衫）.Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Venter, argue that it is "all about money".Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.
Some speculations are more about fun.For example,there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard（非常执著的）fan of the popular TV drama "24".
All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot of fuss （大惊小怪）over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports,especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires,his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent,the jersey is the player,and the player is the jersey.Thus,when you see the famous No.23 for the Chicago Bulls,you immediately think about Michael Jordan.a No.32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O'Neal,and the Houston Rockets' No.11 belongs only to Yao Ming.
Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections.Jordan said that he chose No.23 because it was roughly half of 45.Jordan's elder brother wore the No.45 in college.Yao Ming once revealed that the No.11 stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.

Which team has Bryant played for?
A:The Los Angeles Lakers.
B:The Houston Rockets.
C:The Chicago Bulls.
D:The Miami Heats.

A Minor Microsurgery Last year,Sean Martinovich,from Whitianga,had life-saving surgery when a golf-sized tumor was removed from his brain stem.But the operation left half his face paralysed.He talked with a slur,sometimes dribbled（流 口水）out of the side of his mouth and could not close his eye properly.Although he could run around with the other boys in the playground,when they laughed he could not laugh with them.Without a smile,he could suffer psychologically and emotionally. Last week,6-year-old Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile.Doctor Bartlett removed a nerve from the back of one of Sean's legs and transplanted it into his face.On the normal side of his face the nerve divides into lots of little branches."We'll cut those nerve branches and then we'll take a nerve graft from one leg and tunnel it across his face from one side to the other and join that on to the nerve that' s been cut on the good side of his face."Doctor Bartlett said before the operation."If this was not fixed he conld face physical and emotional problems as he got older,"Doctor Bartlett said."Socially people can become quite withdrawn because of the face paralysis.It's easy for people,especially children,to become rather emotionless because they prefer the flatness of no movement on either side to the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side and having this twisted face." Sean is not smiling yet.Over the next six months the nerves will grow across the face to the damaged side and after that movement will hopefully come back.Sean's parents,Steve and Wendy Martinovich,said they had been through a year of hell.But their son was a determined boy who just got on with it,said Mrs Martinovich.They are amazed at the technology that they hope will restore the cheeky smile they love so much.For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is almost routine.For Sean's parents,it is a miracle.

How old was Sean Martinovich when the golf-sized tumor was removed from his brain stem?
A:4 years old.
B:5 years old.
C:6 years old.
D:7 years old.
