高中英语外研版 选择性必修1 Unit3 语篇1 THE ROAD TO SUCCESS 成功的道路 Near the small town of Grottoes,Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry's grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association(NBA),it was along this road that Stephen's grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. 在弗吉尼亚州的小镇格罗特斯附近，一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里祖父的房子延伸到附近的树林。与国家篮球协会（NBA）的明亮灯光和闪亮球场截然不同，正是沿着这条路，斯蒂芬的祖父通过将一块塑料固定在电话杆上，搭建了一个简易的篮筐。 Like his father,basketball star DellCurry,Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court.He probably didn't realise it at the time,but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player.You see,with every shot the weak plastic backboard gave way.The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn't easy.He had to adjust his own playing style as a result.Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt.Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy,thick basket.In this way,practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. 像他的父亲，篮球明星戴尔·库里一样，斯蒂芬在童年时花费了许多小时在这片泥泞的篮球场上玩耍。他当时可能没有意识到，但正是在那里，他学会了作为一名球员要具有创造力和灵活性。你看，每次投篮时，脆弱的塑料篮板都会弯曲。篮下路边的凸起和石头使得球弹向各个方向。预测球的落点并不容易。他不得不因此调整自己的打法。精准投篮是另一项他学到的技能。只有那些完美瞄准中心的投篮才能进入沉重而厚实的篮筐。就这样，日复一日的练习帮助斯蒂芬磨练了他的技巧。 Despite his father's successful career,Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches,to be too short,too thin and too weak to follow in his father's footsteps.But Stephen carried on.Playing basketball was his dream.He would not give up.He finally ended up playing college ball at a small, little-known school,Davidson College,not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson's star player. 尽管他的父亲有着成功的事业，但许多人，包括他高中队友和教练，都认为斯蒂芬太矮、太瘦弱，无法追随父亲的脚步。但斯蒂芬坚持了下来。打篮球是他的梦想。他不会放弃。他最终在一所不太为人所知的小学校———戴维森学院打大学篮球，离他住的地方不远。他的创造力和毅力使他成为了戴维森的明星球员。 Selected for the NBA in 2009,Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors.He performed beyond everyone's expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts.In 2015,Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. 2009年，斯蒂芬被选入NBA，并加入了金州勇士队。凭借精准的投篮和持续的努力，他超出了所有人的期望。2015年，斯蒂芬赢得了他职业生涯的第一个NBA总冠军，并带领勇士队获得了自1975年以来的第一个总冠军。 After receiving the Most Valu ... ...
