French soccer player David Trezeguet holds the record for the fastest shot in a soccer match. It happened during a match between his club Juventus and England’s Manchester United in 1998.
At that time, he was unknown outside of French soccer. But nine years later, Trezeguet, 29, has become one of the world’s most famous strikers (前锋).
In September, 2007, he scored his 100th goal in the Italian League. “One hundred goals with Juventus, one of the greatest clubs in the world, that is important,” he said.
Although Trezeguet was born in France, he grew up in Argentina and he says his “Latin mentality” helped him become one of the world’s best soccer players.
“Most people in Argentina have to work hard for everything they want,” he explained. “This mentality gave me a hunger and an ambition (野心) to become the best.”
Trezeguet has had a great career. He has won nearly every major competition in soccer – the World Cup, the European Championships, the European Cup, as well as the French and Italian league titles.
But Trezeguet knows all about heartache too. In the French World Cup in 1998, after playing every match in the competition, he was not chosen to play in the final when France went on to win.
Then in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, his miss in the penalty shoot-out(点球大战) handed victory to Italy. But Trezeguet refuses to let this get him down.
“I accept my responsibility. It’s part of football,” he said. “You just have to move on and start thinking about focusing on the next thing.”
In 1998, David Trezeguet _____.
A.scored with the fastest ever shot |
B.was a well-known basketball player in France |
C.became famous around the world |

David Trezequet lost the game to Italy in _____.
A.the European Cup |
B.the European Championship |
C.the French World Cup in 1998 |

If you ask me to tell how to get along in the United States, I think the following “do's” and “don'ts” would be helpful.
Generally speaking, it isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in a busy city, so you should try to do the following. First, get or borrow a dog! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and cats and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People generally share the same table and will sometimes talk to you if they see you are new there. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry them and people there often pass the time talking with each other. Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man, if you are a woman! Learn to say, “Please” “Thank you” and “You're welcome” and use them all the time!
There are some things you shouldn't do. Don't tell the truth when people ask, “How are you?” The only answer they want is “Fine”. Never ask people their age—especially(尤其) women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are fat. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone wants to be thin. Don't be late when meeting people! When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect time and want everyone to be “on time”.
It isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in the USA because ________.
A.the streets are empty |
B.you are new there |

A great way for teens(青少年) to cool off during the summer is at water parks. If you live near a water park, you might think about getting a season pass. This way you can go as often as you like.
Check to see if there are any water parks around you. Many are indoor facilities(设施), so even if it isn’t warm enough where you live to swim outdoors, you can enjoy swimming in a temperature controlled area.
The prices are usually good. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water park, is only $5.
Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money. Older teens shouldn’t have much trouble finding jobs.
An idea is to get some teens together to form your own summer job business. You can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, collect rubbish, water flowers, etc.
Being that it’s summer, many people go on vacation and could use someone to look after their houses while they’re away. You can also think about other jobs you can do for them.
Teens love freedom. Sure you would like to get to such places as the mall, movie theaters, the zoo, the beach, picnic, bowling and local amusement park instead of staying home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be helpful. Check to see if your area has one for you teens.
Such a pass costs only $10 for the whole summer. The price is reasonable and also your parents don’t have to always drive.
What is NOT mentioned as a part time job for teens?
A.Washing cars |
B.Feeding cats |
C.Walking dogs |
D.Watering flowers |
If Sally goes to Water World with two friends, they should pay _____.
A summer bus pass is helpful for teens to _____.
A.find part time jobs |
B.go out for fun |
C.go to summer classes |
D.Do outdoor sports |
The underlined word “reasonable” in the last paragraph probably means in Chinese “_______”.
What’s the text mainly about?
A.Part time jobs. |
B.A summer pass. |
C.Water park swimming. |
D.Things to do in summer. |
