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 A. The Los Angeles Lakers. B. The Houston Rockets. C. The Chicago Bulls. D. The Miami Heats.

[单项选择]After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: the damage and death toll could have been much worse.
More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims.
Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.
Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.
In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible A. counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the building B. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy C. help strengthen the foundation of the building D. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations
