What Makes a Soccer Player Great?
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great How did these players get that way--was it through training and practice, or are great players "born, not made"? First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past--players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate (效仿) In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup--three from South America and three from Western Europe There has never been a great national team--or a really great player from North America or from Asia Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pale Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood (聚居区)—a poor, crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman,but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles (甲壳虫乐队), had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years Pale practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags (破布) And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums (贫民窟) of Belfast All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn't explain why they are great Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pale The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others
{Page}According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
A.Great soccer players are born, not made
B.Truly great players are rare
C.Only six countries have ever had famous soccer stars
D.Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia

Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids' Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid's body is our physical ideal. In Kids' Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.
We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy (颠倒) situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the father, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its everexpanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the father was ever inheriting from his son. Kids' Country may be the inevitable result.
Kids' Country is not all bad. America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids' Country. We not only wear kids' clothes and eat kids' food; we dream Kids' dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy's game to go to the moon.
If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups (俯卧撑) against eternity.
The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that ______.
A.adults showed less concern for children than we do now
B.adults were smaller and thinner at that time; but they still had a lot of work to do
C.children looked and acted like adults at that time
D.children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time

We're a nation of laws. Our courts are honest and they are independent. The President -- me -- I can't tell the courts how to rule, and neither can any other member of the government. Under our law, everyone stands equal. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it.
All political power in America is limited and only given by the free vote of the people. We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the power of the three branches of our government, the judicial(法庭的)branch, the legislative(立法的)branch, and the executive branch, of which I'm a part.
Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country.American moms and dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation. In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.
America is a nation guided by faith. Someone once called us "a nation with the soul of a church." This may interest you -- 95 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I'm one of them.

第11题
The reasons for Disney's success are quite a lot, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person - the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in other aspects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising -- something his company still does brilliantly today.
But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure that his films portrayed the "little boy". He achieved this by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people.
Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company -- unlike other big corporations had a human face. His Hollywood studio -- the public heard -- operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first-name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons praise America, but, during World War II, his studios made training films for American soldiers.
The reality, of course, was not so perfect. As the public would later learn, Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he agreed to work for the FBI secretly, identifying and spying on colleagues who he suspected were anti-government.
But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary people. In the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a leader of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat.
By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was as famous as Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public, he was "Uncle Walt" -- the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.
Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPT
A.painting.
B.creativity.
C.management.
D.merchandising.
