To the NBA, the 2.23 meter center offers an opening of a different sort into the worlds largest new market. Yaos NBA first appearance against the Indiana Pacers(底特律活塞队) in October reached 287 million families in US. That game might have been a bit of letdown to Yaos fans: He played just 11 of the 48 minutes, had two rebounds(篮板球) and got no points. Comparing that will his performance on December 19,also against Indiana, Yao won 29 points and 10 rebounds. “This is one of the most exciting games Ive had,” Yao said after Houstons 95-83 victory(胜利). The NBA has to be excited about his on-count success. In all his games, hes averaging 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds, quite good for a new star. “Yao Ming has brought the NBA closer to the Chinese,” said NBA spokeswoman Cheong San Ching, “That makes the dream seem practical for other people in China and proud to be Chinese.”Yao is not the countrys first player in the NBA: Wang Zhizhi broke down the Dallas Mavericks in November 2003.But Yaos combination of modesty and skills make him a favorite back home.59.

But they dont come out because of what your friends say or because you think that only a few people can be creative geniuses (天才). And, you, of course, think that you couldnt be one of them. But actually, this is not true at all.      Anyone who is a creative genius will tell you that creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be developed. If you dont learn how to develop creative thinking, this skill, just like a muscle, will become poor and useless. On the other hand, keep working at it, and this skill will soon be ready for action whenever you need it. So how do you develop your own personal style of creative thinking?      You should realize that your brain has a greater capacity (容量) and a higher speed than the worlds biggest and fastest computer. So its important to get as much information as you can every day. Read, watch and listen to everything around you good and bad. The more you know, the more youll want to know, and the more your brain will be exercised.      Try something new every day and let your experiences show you more about the world and people around you. You need to step out of your comfort zone (舒适地带) more and more each day.      Follow these suggestions, and begin thinking beyond your "limits" from today. Youll soon have a life full of interesting and exciting adventures. Who knows, your idea might be the next great idea to change the world.63. Most people cant be creative geniuses because they _. A. dont have great ideas B. dont want to develop their ideasC. are too shy to talk about their ideas D. dont believe they can be 64.
