乔丹卖衣服英语短文

乔丹，这个名字男同学们应该都熟悉，可是谁能想到这个被世人所周知的人物曾经竟然在垃圾堆翻出旧衣服卖掉，故事是这样的：乔丹家里曾经很穷，有一天父亲问乔丹：“你觉得这一件旧衣服能卖多少元？”乔丹回答说：“最多一美元。”可是，父亲却要他卖两美元，乔丹小心翼翼地把这件衣服打理了一下，经过六个小时的叫卖，真的卖出了两美元。从此乔丹便热衷于从垃圾堆里翻出旧衣服卖掉。后来，父亲又要他卖二十美元以及两百美元的高价，乔丹绞尽脑汁，完成了父亲的任务。乔丹也明白了两个道理，一是任何事情只要变通方法就可以完成，哪怕是听上去不可能的事，二是连一件衣服也可能变得高贵，更何况是一个黑人呢？
我们遇到困难也要向乔丹一样，不放弃，用不同的方法来做这件事。每个人都不能因为家庭的关系或种族的原因而觉得低人一等。

"michael jordan above and beyond" provides a much-needed look at michael jordan's fantastic return from retirement in 1995. the first 20 minutes or so recap his retirement, attempt at minor league baseball, and his dealing with his father's murder. it picks up when it starts looking at the huge frenzy that was his return to the nba in the spring of 1995. it covers his mediocre first game back against the pacers, his friday night chicago return against the magic, and his subsequent return to form with a game-winning shot against atlanta, and a career night dropping 55 on the knicks. it then covers the bulls' disappointing defeat in the playoffs at the hands of the magic, the first (and last) time the jordan-led bulls would finish the season without a trophy since 1990. the documentary then covers the summer of '95, which michael spent making "space jam" and getting into the best shape of his life, playing basketball in a gym specially designed for him on the burbank set. what would ensue is perhaps the greatest season in the history of all sports, the bulls' dominant 72-10 run through the entire league. unfortunately, this documentary stops shortly after the all-star game, so the momentous 70th win, subsequent mvp trophy, and championship run concluding with a finals victory over the seattle supersonics are all not covered. a shame, as it could have been twice as long, covered all that, remained interesting, and been 4 times as good. instead, this documentary fails to document the bulls' magnificent season. it does provide insight into jordan's desire to win, and special attention is (deservedly) given to the february 2, 1996 matchup between michael's bulls and the los angeles lakers with a newly-returned magic johnson. it wasn't a particularly close finish, but it was a fantastic night to watch basketball, and the game remains the highest-rated cable sports event in history. narrated by "e.r." star eriq lasalle, "michael jordan above and beyond" is good, but cut way too short. 8/10
