M5—B5 Module Five The Great Sports Personality 话题热身 阅读下面短文，并回答下列各题。 Among all the sports stars in the world, I like Allen Iverson best. Nicknamed A.I. or The Answer, Allen Iverson was once the troublemaker that the NBA did not want. He went to prison for fighting. He didn’t like practicing and he laughed at his coach. But in the end, he hasn’t wasted his talent. At 1.83 meters tall, Iverson has become the most exciting player in the NBA. He’s as quick as lightening and no one can stop him. Over the years, he has also changed and become a leader. “If you are getting older and not getting smarter, something is wrong.” said Iverson. He was one of the top scorers and in April, 2001, he was named the Most Valuable Player in the league, the shortest player in the NBA history to hold the title. Born to a single mum, Iverson grew up on dangerous streets in the US. Sometimes his house had no electricity, hot water or lights. There were only bills. He became tough and aggressive like his friends. But he knew he wouldn’t win a championship or be on top with his bad behavior. He often looked at himself in the mirror and asked, “Who is Allen Iverson?” In this way he changed himself. “I play every game as if it is my last.” he said, “I’m proud that I recognize that. I’m trying to be a better person first, and then a better player.” What is Allen Iverson’s nickname? ___________________________________________________________________________ Why did the author say that Allen Iverson was once a troublemaker? ___________________________________________________________________________ What does the underlined word “title” in paragraph 2 refer to? ___________________________________________________________________________ Why did Allen Iverson become tough and aggressive? ___________________________________________________________________________ How did Allen Iverson change himself? ___________________________________________________________________________ 自主探究 ●课文学习 阅读（P）◆阅
