下半场比赛开始了，丹尼尔和阿美在看爸爸打比赛。他们边看比赛边讨论，到底有什么值得他们讨论的呢？

Daniel: Look, daddy is on again. Don't you think he is handsome?

May: To some extent, he is. And what do you think we move to a better place? I can't see him clearly from here.

Daniel: The seats in the middle of this stadium are great, but they're already occupied by somebody else.

May: Oh, thank you for pointing that. By the way, have you been following NBA for this season?

Daniel: Of course, tomorrow evening there will be a most exciting game.

May: Who plays who?

Daniel: Rockets vs Lakers. Yao Ming, my idol, will appear in front of several hundred million of the worldwide audience.

May: It's amazing. And when did he begin to play in the NBA?

Daniel: In 2002. And since then he has attracted more attention than ever.

May: I can't consider you as a little kid any more. I know he is very tall.

Daniel: Oh, you know something. He is 2.26 meters tall. But he is also nimble and skillful.

May: I also heard if a player has committed 5 fouls then he must be out of the game.

Daniel: Yes, what's worse is he can't take any further part in the game.

May: That's really terrible. Oh, God, we forgot to cheer for Daddy.

Daniel: Never mind. After all he is not so attractive as Yao Ming, right?

May: You are always so naughty.

听看学
丹尼尔:看，爸爸又上场了。难道你不认为他很帅吗？

阿美:在某种程度上说，他是。我们换个地方你觉得怎样？我在这看得不太清楚。

丹尼尔:场馆中间的那排位置不错，但是他们已经被别人占了。

阿美:谢谢你指出来告诉我！顺便问一下，你最近关注NBA本赛季的赛事了吗？

丹尼尔:当然，明天晚上就有一场令人激动的比赛。

阿美:谁对谁呀？

丹尼尔:休斯敦火箭队对洛杉矶湖人队。姚明，我的偶像将会出现在数以百万的观众面前。

阿美:太神奇了，他什么时候开始打NBA的？

丹尼尔:2002年，自从那时，他越来越受到大家的关注了。

阿美:我不能再把你当小孩看了。我知道他很高。

丹尼尔:你还是知道一些的嘛！他有2.26米高。但是他很灵巧，技术也很棒。

阿美:我也知道如果球员犯规5次，他就会被罚下场。

丹尼尔:是啊，更糟糕的是他不能继续参加比赛。

阿美:那真是很糟糕，天哪，我们忘了给爸爸加油了。

丹尼尔:没有关系，毕竟他没有姚明有吸引力，对吧？

阿美:你总是那么淘气。

经典背诵 Recitation
Terry: After playing basketball, there are some things we should pay attention to. For on thing, choose the right refreshment after sports, because they can give us energy and vitality. Another thing is learning to protect ourselves during a match; otherwise, the game is not worth it.
