听力原文： Marco Polo was born in Venice, Italy, about 1254.At that time Europeans knew almost nothing of peoples and nations on other continents, except in the areas of Asia and Africa touching the Mediterranean.
In 1271 Marco Polo, his father and his uncle set out on a journey to the fabled lands of China. After four years of hard journey, finally they arrived at the great city of the ruler of China.
In China, Marco Polo found people with a culture quite different from his own. He saw palaces grander than any in Europe, sculptures of great beauty, large, finely-carved precious stones.., a new world full of many wonders. After leaving China, Marco Polo traveled to Japan, southeastern Asia, India, and eastern Africa as a representative of the Chinese ruler.
In 1292—two hundred years before Columbus—the great voyager set out for home. The stories of China he brought back spread quickly throughout Europe. Europe was never again the same.

Gilbert Arenas was born on January 6, 1982 in Tampa, Florida. His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.
When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he was already the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" because people told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.
After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.
