• 1．Many great basketball players had clever nicknames （绰号），usually describing the player's overall style on the court （球场）．Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players．
  "Tiny"
     Nate Archibald，at six feet one inch tall，was small for a basketball player．Still，Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA．Interestingly，his nickname originated off the court：he was named after his father，"Big Tiny"．
  "Magic"
     Earvin Johnson was called"Magic"by a sports writer who saw him playing basketball in one high school game．Johnson was a skillful player，often doing the unexpected，to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience．He also won a gold medal as part of the U．S．"Dream Team"in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona，Spain．
  "The Mailman"
     Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently．Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz，gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time．He also won two Olympic gold medals，as part of the U．S．"Dream Team"in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona，Spain and in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta，Georgia．
  "The Iceman"
     George Gervin made the most difficult shots look easy．He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game，playing in a relaxed way under pressure．Gervin，who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs，was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard．

• 2．Did anyone ever greet you like this： "Kaltxì．Ngaru lu fpom srak？" Probably not．These words mean "Hello．Are you well？" in Na'vi．And there are more sentences like "Nga za'u ftu peseng？ （Where do you come from？）"， "Fyape syaw fko ngar？ （What are you called？）" and "Ngari solalew zìsìt apolpxay？ （How old are you？）"．
     The story begins with the movie，Avatar．James Cameron was the director．For this movie，he invented a world called Pandora，in which beautiful plants and amazing animals and nine-foot-tall blue aliens were created．These aliens were the Na'vi people．Cameron wanted one more thing：a special language for the Na'vi．
     Soon Cameron created about 30 words，but they weren't enough．He needed help with the project，so he asked Paul Frommer，a professor at the University of Southern California，who studies languages．First，Frommer thought about the sounds．He chose 20 consonants （辅音） and 7 vowels （元音）．These are sounds in English，too．Next，he created rules of grammar．For example，in Na'vi，the word order is not important．Finally，he created a vocabulary of about 1，000 words．He finished the project in six months．
     Then Frommer taught Na'vi to the actors．They had special language classes．Frommer also recorded the Na'vi language．The actors listened to it on their iPods．He translated four songs from English to Na'vi，too．He helped the singers with the pronunciation．Soon the film crew （工作人员） started to speak in Na'vi．Sometimes someone made a mistake．Then other people laughed and said， "Skxawng!"
     Today many people are learning Na'vi．There are Na'vi websites，dictionaries，and fan groups．The fans create new words，and the language grows．The Na'vi language now has a life of its own．
  
  （1）What should you say if you want to know a Na'vi boy's age？

  
  A．Nga za'u ftu peseng？
  B．Fyape syaw fko ngar？
  C．Kaltxì．Ngaru lu fpom srak？
  D．Ngari solalew zìsìt apolpxay？
  （2）We can infer from the text that Na'vi

  ．
  A．is totally different from English
  B．may take the place of English in the near future
  C．is actually a new，man-made language
  D．is one of the languages spoken by the Na'vi people
  （3）"Skxawng!" is probably used to describe someone who is

  ．
  A．stupid
  B．humorous
  C．impolite
  D．modest
  （4）What does the author mainly tell us in the text？
