It’s easy to observe an athlete like Tiger Woods and feel like he’s from another planet. He has won 14 major tournament(锦标赛) titles and about $122 million in prize money and ads. He also has a happy family. It seems that he is too perfect to be one of us. But Woods has more in common with you than you might think.

Woods’ parents — particularly his father — set high expectations for him when he was a child. Before Earl Woods’ death in 2006, he told Golf magazine, “My purpose in raising Tiger was not to raise a golfer. I wanted to raise a good person.”

By age two, Woods was already swinging(挥舞) a golf club. But once he entered school, Woods’ father was careful to send the message that school work came first. Woods wasn’t allowed to practice until his homework was done.

When Woods finally reached the professional tour, his father continued to expect a lot of him. “Tiger will do more than any other man in history to change the course of human. The world is just getting a taste of his power,” he said in 1996. Clearly, Earl Woods had great expectations of his son.

In this way, Tiger Woods is actually like a lot of us. Many of us feel a similar pressure to make our parents proud. When this happens, it’s easy to let that pressure overwhelm(压倒) us.

In a perfect world, we would all grow up to be Tiger Woods-like successes in our own fields. But that isn’t possible. There are many things that we can’t control in this life, despite our best efforts.

There is, however, one thing that we can do: we can try to be a “good person”, as Earl Woods asked his son to do.

A. Tiger Woods is too perfect to be one of us.

D. Tiger Woods didn’t like playing golf when he was a child.

3.We can learn from the passage that Tiger Woods is under pressure to ____ just like many of us.

A. get high marks in the exam B. make his parents proud

C. change the course of human D. try to be a good person

When I first came to China, there were many things I do not understand. Now, I have a better understanding of Chinese culture and find it very interested.

Bargaining is a Chinese custom what amazes me. In the USA, prices are set and you cannot ask for a lower price, when in China, you are expected to bargain with the salespersons in some small stores and tourist spots. I once asked my Chinese friends to teach me how to bargain. They were told me that I should ask for 40 percent or 50 percent off the price. Then, they had better tell the salesperson that the same item is cheaper at another store. If the salesperson does not agree to my price, I should pretend leave and he might ask me to come back and sell me the item for a lower price. But this skill doesn’t work effective every time. In my opinion, bargaining are a skill that I have to practise if I continue to live in China.

This is a unforgettable experience for me, which is beneficial to me.

The American expression "shoo-in" means someone or something that seems sure to win a race or competition.

Before a big football game, supporters of each are certain to argue (争论) about which side will win. Sometimes, however, one team appears so much stronger than the others that everyone agrees it will win. The stronger team is a shoo-in. there is no way that it can lose.

The expression "shoo-in" comes from horse racing. It comes from the word "shoo". That is not the shoe we wear on our feet. It's another word, S-H-O-O. To shoo is an expression hundreds of years old that means to force an animal to move in a desired direction.

Many years ago dishonest riders sometimes agreed secretly to control their horses so that one chosen horse would win the race. All but one of the riders would hold back their horses. The chosen rider would shoo his horse ahead of the others, and win the race. The other riders would secretly bet large amounts of money that the chosen horse would win. The public soon learned about such races. They began to call the winner of such a race a "shoo-in".

These days, people use shoo-into describe any athlete or competitor that seems certain to win, even without cheating. American runner Edwin Moses won more than hundred races before he ran the hurdle race in the nineteen-eighty-four Olympic Games. Everyone said Moses was a shoo-in, and that he could not lose.

A. is used to admire a person who seems to be sure to win a race
