4.July 28th,2003 London-It hasn't been like this since the death of Diana.Britain has been suffering from a national nervous breakdown ever since David Beckham,handsome idol of the Manchester United Soccer Team,announced that he was leaving to play for Real Madrid.The Sun set up a Beckham"grief(悲伤)help line"and had a lot of calls from his fans.One caller even said he was considering killing himself.A man who has"Beckham"tattooed on his arm said he wanted to cut it off."I cried myself to sleep after hearing the terrible news,"said grandmother Mary Richards,aged 85.A London taxi driver asked,"Has the world gone mad?He's only a footballer!"But he was mistaken.A footballer is the least of what David Beckham is.
In the  period of soccer  that will come to be known as B.B.-Before Beckham-the sport was a team game.What mattered was the club,the team and the player in that order.Then in the mid1990s,David Beckham-or"Becks"who  is known in that familiar shortened  form the British like to call their working class hero came along,and changed the face of soccer.It wasn't his right foot that changed the game,but his photogenic face.And the fact is that he used it to become one of the most recognizable and richest athletes in the world,receiving a salary of  8 million per year and earning at least  17 million more in advertisements.You can never imagine that his move from Manchester United to Real Madrid is  40 million.
Beckham interests not only those who have no interest in the club for which he plays,but those who have no interest in soccer.He is the most recognized sportsman in Asia and he's even managed to interest American-s.The 27-year-old,tongue-tied,surprisingly  shy working-class boy from London's East End,has turned himself into a soccer virus,one that has made the whole world mad.

8.I was the oldest of five children back in the 60's.We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow(平房)in Michigan.Mom and Dad worked so hard,yet always found the time to spend with us.The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in(汽车影院)movies!
We always looked forward to going to the drive-in!Mom would fill a big bag with home-made popcorn.On the way there,Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store,where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy.We were so excited,as we carried our treasuresback to the car,knowing we couldn't eat it until the car-toon began.
We would get there early,so that we could play on the playground,right under the big screen.As soon as it started to get dark,the screen lit up,and we would race bake to the car to get our candy.
There were always two cartoons playing before the movie,like Felix the Cat,The Coyote,and Tom and Jerry.But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand,with dancing hot dogs,candy and ice cream.That came on right before the movie.It was all that five kids could hope for,and by then,stay awake for.
We would get home around 2 am,pretty late for us.Mom helped us drag ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.
I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town.It will always hold special memories for us-those days of penny candy.

9.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others.Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to the other drivers,"l have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can."And everyone understood.Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we're scared.

36.The author has discovered that people will feel happy whenA.
A.they offer their help
B.they receive others'help
C.they feel others'kindness
D.they show their weakness
37.The author feels sad sometimes becauseD.
A.he has a soft heart
B.he relies much on others
C.some people pretend to be kind
D.some people fail to see the kindness in others
38.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?B
A.They speeded up to pass.
B.They waited with patience.
C.They tried their best to help.
D.They put on their flashlights too.
39.In this passage,the author advises us toC.
A.handle problems by ourselves
B.accept help from others
C.admit our weakness
D.show our bravery
40.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?B
A.A Wheelchair Experience.
B.Weakness and Kindness.
C.Weakness and Strength.
