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 of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryant's motive to change his number,according to this passage?
A:He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.
B:He wants to compare himself to Jordan.
C:He wants to earn more money.
D:He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.

Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?
How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well?When we compare them with adults
learning a foreign language,we often find this interesting fact.A little child without knowledge or experience
often succeeds in a complete mastery(精通）of the language,A grown-up person with fully developed mental
powers,in most cases,may end up with a faulty and inexact command（掌握）.What accounts for this
difference?
Despite other explanations,the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself,partly in the
behavior of thle people around him.In the first place,the time of learning the mother tongue is the most fa-
vorable of all,namely,the first years of life.A child hears it spoken from morning till night and,what is
more important,always in its genuine form,wirth the right pronunciation,right intonation,right use of words
and right structure. He drinks in（吸收）all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-
bubbling( 冒泡的）spring. There is no resistailce: there is perfect assimilation.
Then the child has,as it were,private lessons all the year round，while an adult language-student has
each week a limited number of hours,which he generally shares withothers.The child has another advan-
tage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and
facial expiessiotis.Here there is nothing unnatural,such as is often found in language lessons in schools,
when noe talks aboult ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January.And what a child hears is generally
what immediately interests him.Again and again,when his attempts at speech are successful,his desires are
understood and fulfilled.
Finally,though a child's"teachers"may not have been trained in language teaching,their relations
with him are always close and personal.They take great pains to make their lessons easy.
Gestures and facial expressions may assist a child in mastering his native language.
