30、rward to more shortened classics!Mr.Crockatt2008-5-124:38 PMIm from the London independent bookshop Crockatt one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didnt have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn
31、t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maximes early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure t
32、hat her kids would not end up in Waterhouses roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything. It didnt take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summ
33、er evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports. But Shelly-Anns victory was far
34、greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the worlds toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for my countr
35、y,”Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a womans as well as a mans world. As Muhammad Ali puts it, “ Champions arent made i
36、n gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth. 56.Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann? A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble. B. He
37、 sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses. C. She had big problems maintaining her performance. D. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets. 57. What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games? A. She would become a promising star. B. She
38、 badly needed to set higher goals. C. Her sprinting career would not last long. D. Her talent for sprinting was known to all. 58.What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track? A. Her success and lessons in her career. B. Her interest in Shelly-Anns quick profit. C. Her wish to get Shell
39、y-Ann out of poverty. D. Her early entrance into the sprinting world. 59.What can we infer from Shelly-Anns statement underlined in Paragraph 5? A. She was highly rewarded for her efforts. B. She was eager to do more for her country. C. She became an athletic star in her country. D. She was the envy
40、 of the whole community. 60.By mentioning Muhammad Alis words, the author intends to tell us that _. A. players should be highly inspired by coaches B. great athletes need to concentrate on patience C. hard work is necessary in ones achievements D. motivation allows great athletes to be on the top C
41、The saying that children dont like reading any more has been proved untrue. A new study finds that 75 percent of kids between 5 and 17 say that although they love technology, they still want to read books. “The Kids & Family Reading Report “also says that 62 percent of kids prefer reading printed bo
42、oks rather than those on a computer. At the same time, those who search an authors website or use the Internet to find books by a particular author, are more likely to read books for fun every day. The study also once again proves that the time kids spend reading books for fun decreases after the ag
43、e of eight and continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a 2006 study. But this time the focus is on the role of technology and when kids interest in reading starts to drop. “Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun dai
44、ly, high frequency Internet users are more likely to read books for fun every day,” says Heather Carter, a writer of the report. One in four kids between 5 and 17 say they read books for fun every day and more than half of kidssay they read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of th
45、e key reasons kids say why they dont read more often is that they have trouble finding books they likea requirement that parents underestimate . The study also finds that parents have a strong influence on kids reading, but only about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their firs
46、t birthday. The percent of children who are read to every day drops from 38 percent among five-to-eight-year-olds to 23 percent among nine-to 11-year-oldsexactly the same time that kids daily reading for fun starts to drop. “Parents engagement in their childrens reading from birth all the way throug
47、h the teen years can have a great influence on how often their children read and how much they enjoy reading”, adds Carter. 61.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?A.75 percent of kids like surfing the Internet.B.Most kids are more likely to read e-books for fun every d
48、ay.C.More children like to go online instead of reading books.D.Most kids like reading books as well as technology.62.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.nowadays all the kids still like to read books.B.most parents begin reading to their kids from their birthC.some kids like to get some information using the InternetD.the study of kids reading has been made before63.Parents should _.A.begin to read books to kids from the age of 8B.read more books to kids as early as possibleC.help to pre
