They looked normal, most about 6’4’’ or so. Then, a thin, babyfaced guy came in. He was about 7’5’’. We were all amazed. We couldn’t believe his size. And when he started hitting threepointers, we were really blown away! Our guys in the U’S’ didn’t believe that there was a Chinese kid that tall. To convince them, we had to bring him to a Nike camp in Paris that summer. Yao had always played against kids who were older than him. This was the first time he was peting with players his own age. Del Harris, then the Lakers coach, was at the camp. He fell in love with Yao Ming. He was telling everybody, “I got to have a picture with that kid. One day he’s going to have a real impact on the NBA.” Key: 1. D 2. B 3. C 4. D 5. ATask 2: Physical ExerciseMore and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise.
