step 4: while you read
 1. fast reading for general ideas of the text
shall we get the details of the two famous basketball players? as we have known, they are outstanding and are well thought of in the history of basketball. read the two titles and they are meaningful. “michael jordan--- head and shoulder above the rest”. look at yourself, and your head and shoulder are always above the rest of the other parts of your body. it means somebody is much better than others. “wilt the stilt --- the tower of power” class, have you ever seen people walk on stilts in the spring festival? they are taller than people who don’t. as we know, chamberlain was even 19 centimeters taller than jordan. he was not only tall but also full of power and magic on the basketball court.
