Kidd
In the article "Cheese Monkeys", Kidd (2001) uses an example of Abbott's article then draws the conclusion that we people in the third dimension can see something that never can be seen by people in two dimension. Therefore, we think the people in two dimension are poor. However, compared to this situation, there should also have some other people in fourth dimension or even fifth dimension think we are poor. As a person who believe the existence of alien, I always curious about how people come and how the universe come. A fiction novel impressed me so much. It said one universe is created by a higher universe and so on. For example, a computer game is a world created by human. NPCs are the inhabitant of that world and they have their pre-set life pace. Therefore, maybe the world we live now are also a game created by higher universe.
The opinion that I am not sure in the article is the top and bottom. For me, the important things are always come first or at top. I put the title at top which reflect the theme of my article and absolutely is the most important of the whole article.

It is interesting that basketball is designed to solve the delinquency problem originally with nearly no rules. A coach is not necessary at that time because the players could learn themselves and from each other. However, from the viewpoint of education, a basketball team still needs a coach because in that way, many poor kids will have more brilliant future. The connection of basketball, education, basketball gyms, basketball programs and kids' future career remind me the theory of causationism. One result must be caused by some reason, and will also result in another conclusion. For example, the revolution of the earth rotation result in the changes of seasons. The changes of seasons result in the changes of temperature and causes the growth of seeds.
The most difficult one in the article is the first part. I have no idea about those basketball stars' names, their actions and the rules. Honestly, I am not a fan of basketball. The only basketball games I could see is cartoons. Therefore, I know nothing about the rules and the terms. It is just not my taste.

One useful thing I found in this article is that 44 facial muscles in ones face are capable to produce 5000 different expressions. This statement remind me to the TV series "lie to me". In this series, Dr. Lightman reaching the truth through criminals' facial actions and body languages. He claims people will tell three lies every ten minutes and that could be recognize by the micro-expressions in ones face.
What surprised me most is that milk is more difficult than dinosaurs. In my mind, a dinosaur contains millions of muscles and any change of its emotion or action will result in the related changes of muscles and bones. In addition, the fluency of its actions counts a vital important role and needs a lot of work in order to or a zombie dinosaur
