我也喜欢科比。但我的英语不好。我给你提供素材：科比小时候最喜欢看的VCD是《NBA SHOWMEN》，这是一部关于NBA历史上最伟大的几位球星的专辑。 科比第一次扣篮成功是在14岁。 R&B明星布兰迪是科比少年时期出席舞会的舞伴，科比后来在她的一部叫《Moesha》的MTV中客串演出。 科比的宠物是一条叫Gucci的狗。 科比最喜欢的食物不是牛排，而是苹果馅饼、通心面、奶酪、甜薯条、Vanilla Malts（香子兰麦芽）。 科比少年时最喜欢的篮球明星是魔术师、乔丹、便士哈达威。 科比小时候最喜欢的卡通是Roadrunner，最喜欢的杂志是一本名叫《SLAM》的篮球杂志。 科比的队友曾经给他起了个外号叫Showboat（演艺船），表示他在球场上眼花缭乱的动作。 科比的实际身高是1.98M。 科比的跟腱长达30cm，迈克尔.乔丹为28.3cm,比乔丹还长1.7cm他十四岁时垂直弹跳离地以达到135厘米。 最喜欢的男演员是威尔.史密斯；最喜欢的女影星是珍妮弗.海威特,过去家里贴了不少她的海报 最喜欢的电影是《星球大战》。《星球大战前传II：克隆人的进侵》热映时，正值2002年西部决赛 开战，科比抵挡不住诱惑，在赛前的晚上一个人静悄悄溜进附近的电影院观看。并与一位在黑暗中 认不出他的国王女球迷聊了一个晚上，这位女球迷跟科比说她找到了击败湖人的秘诀。 科比在联盟中最好的朋友是麦迪；在球队中关系最好的队友是戴文.乔治；以前哈珀在湖人时，科比和他的关系最铁，称他为“老爹”。 科比在空闲时间也喜欢读书、游泳、玩电子游戏，不像其他年轻人，他很少跟别人聚会开PARTY。 “科比”的名字来源于意大利的一道风味牛排，售价420里拉（这在当地算是比较价格不菲的）。 科比高中时以总分2883的成绩，成为宾州东南区的高中篮球最高得分纪录，打破张伯伦的2359分和Carlin Warley的2,441分纪录。 由于科比在adidas ABCD篮球营的编号是143，所以加入湖人队后选择了8号(1+4+3=8)。 科比在高中最后三年中带领球队取得77胜13负的好成绩。 科比在湖人的第一年即打过得分后卫、组织后卫及小前锋三个位置。 科比被美国<<人民杂志>>全球“50名最美的人”之一,同时入选的还有周润发、章子怡、贝克汉姆等。 在今年《GQ》杂志评选的十大最不受欢迎的球星中，科比有幸上榜位列第五。与他一同上榜的还有网球明星休伊特；有“刺头”之称的火箭球员邦齐•维尔斯；美式橄榄球名将拖雷-欧文斯不幸成为了榜单上的冠军。当小科比在中学的时候曾经有一次短暂的初恋，是他追求一名别的班级的女生。（当谈到这些事，科比懊恼地说：“我表现的糟透了，看来我还没完全把意大利人的激情学到手。”）。 科比14岁时第一次在球场上打败他父亲乔.布莱恩特。 科比认为最完美的后卫是拥有乔丹的精神意志，韦斯特的精准，魔术师的想像力，皮蓬的腿，托马斯的手。 2008年北京奥运会前，科比出乎人意料地表示将在国家队扮演防守队员的角色媒体评价 [编辑本段]科比是一位直接从高中进入NBA的球员，1996年由夏洛特黄蜂队在NBA选秀中第一轮第十三位选入，在1996年11月7日由黄蜂队与湖人队的迪瓦茨作了交换。第一个赛季他就表现不俗，第二个赛季就入选1998年全明星赛首发阵容，成为历史上最年轻的一位全明星球员。第三个赛季，他平均每场得分近20分，在几乎每一项技术统计中都名列全队第一，从此被誉为NBA最令人激动的年轻球星之一。他和大鲨鱼奥尼尔开创了紫金王朝，联手称霸NBA。在04-05赛季鲨鱼东游之后，科比一个人挑起了湖人队复兴的大梁。遗憾的是科比并没有帮助湖人重振旗鼓，虽然他一直非常努力，但是球队内部的不信任和奥尼尔东游后带来巨大的内线漏洞在整个赛季里都困扰着湖人队，结果湖人也没有能够进军季后赛。新的赛季里，湖人请回了老帅菲尔-杰克逊。现在，湖人队又交易到了加索尔，科比如虎添翼，相信湖人会有一个美好的来。 在进入NBA后，科比以他惊人的篮球天赋，超越了大多数正规的大学选秀球员。他无论在弹跳、投篮、突破上都有着当年天王巨星迈克尔•乔丹的影子，因此被认为是篮球之神——乔丹最有力的继承者之一；是当今NBA最有影响力、最具偶像气质的巨星。年仅26岁就成为NBA总得分超过10000的最年轻者；以主力身份3次获得NBA总冠军戒指；98年开始连续7次参加“全明星大赛”而且均首发出场（99年因劳资纠纷无比赛）；3次入选NBA年度最佳阵容、3次入选NBA年度防守最佳阵容；曾经连续9场砍下40+；曾经创造连续投中9个三分、单场投中12个三分的NBA记录。灵狐：科比全身各部位特写科比是一只灵狐，为什么这样说？因为赛场上的科比就像一只灵狐一样的灵活。科比更灵。这是因为他的身体素质绝对一流。1.98米的得分后卫黄金身高、98公斤的体重，再加上出色的弹跳和良好的控制能力，应该说他完全具备了成为新一代“飞人”的基本条件。惟一欠缺的可能就是霸气。出色的身体柔韧性造就了他近乎完美的突破能力。而在空中的各种动作又证明了他的头脑的聪明，和他思维的敏捷，所以说科比更灵。头脑科比作为一名优秀的得分手，他深受外界好评。而他的防守技术也同样优秀。科比“正面盯视猎物”时的炯炯目光，与迈克尔•乔丹一样，感性很强。这是因为他早已读懂了对方的心思，胸有成竹。从线路的封堵，抢断的时间调整上就能充分说明他思维的敏捷，以及判断力的出色。科比是心理素质和身体素质都极佳的球员，并能把他的活力与热情传导给整个球队。NBA的教练们常说：“BULL SHIT! Easy Basket!”（好的防守才能换来更容易的得分）。科比的防守态势就是最好的典范。一名真正的超级巨星进攻时要出色，防守时还要具备挽救球队于水火之中的能力。而科比正是具备了这两点。除了出色的防守，多姿多彩的投篮也能证明他的聪明。虽然从运球到出手都需要出色的技术，但如果没有敏捷的思维也是无济于事的。而在科比的跳投中，同样能看出他丰富的想象力。有接球后即投、运球突破防守后急停跳投、篮板下的转身投篮……可谓变化多端，多姿多彩。科比是一个富于创造性的球员，他会针对防守的情况加以判断并把握机会，永远充满灵性。性格科比的性格耿直，喜欢单刀直入，讨厌拐弯抹角，对不懂的问题喜欢刨根问底直到弄懂为止，他从不为了顾全面子而不懂装懂。在练习和比赛时都非常认真。对菲尔•杰克逊教练的指导他也一直追问到自己完全掌握领悟为止。这在近年来NBA年轻人当中是很难得的。由于年龄的关系，他从不把内心情感展现于外表。科比自己分析说“大概是因为在家中自己年龄最小的缘故，所以总是喜欢观察，以免做出傻事。这大概与我天生的性格有关”。不愿服输的精神使他在练习中也总是真刀真枪地干。他的人生字典中没有“输”这个字。心理虽然每一名优秀的球员在投篮和处理球的技术方面都非常出色，但科比在用指尖处理球的方法与其他的NBA球员却不同，科比凭借微妙的感觉，在运动中环顾四周，并把由此产生的信息迅速传递到手尖，这中超一流的感觉是成为超级明星的首要条件。虽然也有教练批评说科比持球过多，但同时科比的进球也在不断增加。若心理上存在“不进”的话，那么投篮时的自信和命中率就会受到影响。但科比总是充满自信，所以他也总是成功。乔丹越在重压下发挥越出色，科比也同样拥有这种良好的心态和素质。他认为有压力才够刺激。手手感出色的科比，儿童时代运球就是他的拿手好戏。在中学时代因为个头不高，所以背后及交叉运球等花样技巧就成为他着重练习的目标。扣篮和篮板球两项技术科比在进入NBA之前就已经可以随心所欲。在加强对跳投和三分球的训练后，现在他在这两项统计中的数字也不幅提高。在赛季开始前的最后练习中，科比总是特别注重持球的手指伸开的幅度的感觉和变化。运球时，科比经常采用独特的节奏，来掌握主动权，不给对手可乘之机。通过长时间持球、运球来分散防守球员的注意力。科比在利用与防守球员的空间方面很出色，不给对手调整的时间。科比在摆脱防守球员时的瞬间移动，右手运球时左脚插向斜后方，一边计算着防守队员的重心移动，一边调速向篮下运动。前后的运球移动对防守一方来说是非常难防的，而纵向的假动作又容易使自己的身体失去平衡。但科比却可轻易利用这两种移动摆脱对手。他的动作流畅自然，同时视线的移动也让对手随时处于高度紧张状态。对手稍一松懈，他的进攻就完成了。腰腹也许科比天生就是为篮球而来，他的天生资质，身体平衡的优秀在NBA中是极为出色的，这要感谢他出众腰腹力量。在进攻中有时身体失去平衡的情况下，他也能轻松地传球或投篮。每当面临内线高大队员的盖帽，他总是在空中轻松地进行换手投篮。这是对防守的态势和防守球员的心理完全掌握后游刃有余的一击。虽然后方、前方都是防守球员，但科比不慌不忙，从容不迫地展示自己良好的心理和出色的技术。正是因为拥有这种可闯过任何困难的自信、身体失去平衡时的调控能力，加上优秀的身体素质，才让人感觉到又一个乔丹出现了。大力扣篮既是科比的一项绝活，也是NBA优秀球员的一个象征。但科比的扣篮却与众不同，有其独特的风格。最出色的一点是他达到制高点时的速度一流。这种快速的冲击会让你感到科比在脚离地的瞬间就是到了最高点，而落下的速度却很慢，滞空的时间很长。这种表演在比赛中经常出现。而最让球迷们大饱眼福，刺激万分的当属一个精彩的、与众不同的扣篮。所有的这些同样都得益于他出色的腰腹力量。腿“若不注意腰和腿部的力量训练就不能在NBA中立足，”父亲的劝告深深烙在科比的心中。在高中时，对腰和腿部的负重奔路训练就占用了他大量的时间。进入NBA以来他特别注意保护自己，尽量避免使膝盖和腿部受伤，每次练习和比赛后他都用去大量的时间做整理运动。现在的科比为了避免膝盖受伤，几乎不做负重训练。但就是这样，科比还是有着惊人的弹跳力，他的跟腱长30厘米。垂直起跳1.3米，腿部的力量大的惊人！甚至有专家为了赞美他出色的弹跳能力，惊呼科比有三条腿！鞋科比从00年总决赛开始就一直穿着有自己最新签名的新款篮球鞋。湖人队的队服是黄色和紫色，所以他希望鞋能简单朴素些。阿迪达斯公司和耐克公司都考虑到科比的这一建议，特别开发了新款的科比鞋。颜色变化有白色、黑色、乳白色、湖人队的黄色等，科比最钟意的是朴素的白色款。虽说只是球鞋，但从科比对球鞋颜色和样式的选择上，我们也能看出他对自己的要求有多么的高。因为，一名优秀的球员，不论在哪一方面都应该对自己有一个高标准的要求。只有这样，才能在比赛中达到更高的目标，科比正是如此。同时，从科比球鞋独特的风格上，充分展示了他与众不同的个性，也能看出科比想要在NBA中独树一帜的念头！

The House of 1000 Mirrors Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself,“This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often.” In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself,“That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.” All the faces in the world are mirrors.

No one can live your life over again after your death.

Kobe Bryant first started turning heads on the basketball court when he was in middle school. His talents dominated the game so much that high schools from all over the Philadelphia area watched him grow up. The almost six-foot tall seventh grader definitely had the make-up and genes for the game, as his dad was former NBA forward, Joe Bryant. Kobe developed his basketball skills under the watchful eye of his father, helping his mission to become a professional basketball player. He worked daily on his game, watching video, playing in the playgrounds and listening to his father. When he entered high school at Lower Marion in Philadelphia, Kobe was a highly touted recruit. He proved that he had the skills and work ethic to be a star at the next level and the scouts noticed this. Kobe didn't let anybody down either, as he played on the varsity basketball team his freshman year. He wouldn't immediately be a superstar, though. Rather it was the countless hours of early morning workouts by himself in the gymnasium that escalated Kobe's talents. Kobe became a better player every year he played at Lower Marion and soon enough, he had developed into one of the premier talents at the high school level. He sold out the games everywhere he played during his junior and senior years and he didn't disappoint anyone. He once packed the school gym so much that it caused a traffic jam on the main highway just outside the school. He went on to finish his high school career as the all-time leading point scorer in Pennsylvania history with a total of 2, 883 points. Kobe's highly decorated high school career made him the 13th overall choice by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA draft.

Civilized Behaviour: Learning to Act with a Proper Sense of Honour and Shame Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of behavior is proper? And what kind of behavior is shameful? This may be the problem we keep thinking since we began school. A harmonious society is built on civilized behavior. So we should act with a proper sense of honor, not shame, in our society. My campus is divided into two parts by a street with a traffic light. But each time when both students and teachers cross that street, they don’t care about the lights. I remember I was taught about essential traffic rules in primary school. Why now these college students, even the teachers, still run through the red lights? This kind of shameful behavior doesn’t only appear around my campus, but also throughout the whole city. How pathetic! All the professional knowledge we learned become extremely slight in this situation. Without a doubt, learning to act with a proper sense of honor becomes priority for us students. As students, we all must face the problem of finding jobs when we graduate. To our surprise, some students only pay attention to the salary or whether they can work in modern, developed cities. A few of the medical students are even thinking about demanding extra money from their future patients. I don’t know whether this kind of future doctors is dedicated only to cure their patients. As we all know, doctors are special due to the nature of their profession. They deal with life and health. Any tiny fault or carelessness could lead to death. The ethics of the medical profession is the most important thing for both doctors and medical students. We should try our best to serve the people and country with our medical knowledge. Our morality and character must be improved if we want to be a qualified doctor. Of course, there are still a lot of students acting with an honored sense. A girl in one medical university has donated blood three times. Every time my university organizes a trip to the orphanage and rest homes, hundreds of students sign up without hesitation. Members of the acupuncture association in my school often serve the seniors in the community. Our life is also full of this kind of honored behavior. We need only to show it to others. Ladies and gentlemen, nowadays the fundamental principles of civilized behavior can be ignored no longer. It is said that talented people are the most precious treasures of the 21st century. But who are this kind of people? Those who run through red lights? Those who only concern with money and themselves? Those who destroy the environment? No. Never! The development of society relies on people who are qualified both in knowledge and moral spirits. So, to us, only when we achieve these qualities can we take on the duty to construct our country. Let’s cherish our limited school-time to learn knowledge and to shape our civilized minds, making us qualified owners of the 21st century.
