[填空题]

One summer my wife Chris and I were invited by friends to row down the Colorado River in a boat. Our expedition included many highly successful people -- the kind who have staffs to take care of life’s daily work. But in the wilder rapids, all of us naturally set aside any pretenses (矫饰) and put our backs into every stroke to keep the boat from tumbling over. At each night’s encampment, we all hauled supplies and cleaned dishes. After only two days in the river, people accustomed to being spoiled and indulged bad become a team, working together to cope with the unpredictable twists and turns of the river.
I believe that in life -- as well as on boat trips -- teamwork will make all our journeys successful ones. The rhythms of teamwork have been the rhythms of my life. I played basketball alongside famous players, and the team I now coach, the New York Knicks, has recovered from years of adversity to become a major contender in the 1990s.
