Away from the game, it’s easier to put my thoughts together, 　30 letting my emotions drive my reasoning. I consider 　31 I am where I am. I have played basketball my whole life. I have a passion for the 　32 and always have. There is nothing like the excitement of 　33 : the swish of the net, the sweat rolling off my cheeks, even the bruises(青腫) are battle wounds worn 　34 after every game.

Even if I don’t play much, I participate in every 　35 . I am part of a team of girls who

36　 together like a family. I am there for them, 　37 they are for me.

Should I move on? Or should I stay with my team and pursue my passion just a little longer?
The decision isn’t difficult when I consider the 　38　 that being a part of a team brings me— and not just any team, 　39 my team. I love basketball and my teammates. When I think about that, my view from the bench really isn’t so bad 　 40　 .

Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蠟) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or people as it leads them to the nest. When they
finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
【小題1】Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?
