Liu Xiang, a 21-year-old Chinese athlete, got the gold medal of the fascinating men's 110m hurdles(跨栏) before a crowd of 70 000 at the Olympic Stadium in the 28th Olympics in Athens late Friday local time. He clocked an excellent 12.91 seconds to equal the world record set by Britain's Collin Jackson in 1993.?

It is the first gold Chinese men's athlete has ever won from the track and field in the Olympics history. China has won over 100 gold medals from the summer Olympic Games since 1984 but its male athletes only got one medal from Olympics' most popular sport.

The Shanghai native, with his father a truck driver and mother an out-of-work housewife, loved sports when he was very little. Liu was selected to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai to practice jumping as a fourth grader in the primary school. But after a bone test showing that he will not be able to become a tall man, Liu was asked to give up sports one year later, although he had won the national champion at that level.

In 1998 when he attracted coach Sun Haiping's attention as a 15-year-old jumper. Sun was a well-known hurdle coach and he believed a star was born at the first sight of Liu. He visited Liu's parents several times and finally persuaded them to let Liu transfer to the 110m hurdles.?

After only three years, Liu launched his career in style in the IAAF Grand Prix in Lausanne in 2001 by breaking the world youth and Asian record with a time of 13.12.

But the first warning he sent to the world was his bronze-winning feat(战绩)at the world indoor championships in Birmingham, England, last year.?

In 2004, Liu won the silver in the world indoor championships in Budapest in March. Two months later, he proved the winner in a race against American great Allen Johnson in the IAAF Grand Prix in Osaka, Japan, where he clocked a new Asian record and world's season best time of 13.06 seconds.

He went on to win two Johnson-absent races in Lille, France, on June 26 and Zagreb, Croatia, three days later. He put up an exciting show at the Golden Gala meet in Rome on July 3,when he and Johnson clocked an identical time of 13.11.Race officials had to examine a photo finish to declare Johnson the winner. Liu did a better job of clearing the hurdles than Johnson, but Johnson's stronger start ended up making the difference. The race boosted(提高) Liu's optimism for the Olympics, although Johnson bettered his season best time by 0.01 second in Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 6.

The world has put the Olympics a Johnson-Liu duel but surprisingly Johnson crashed out of the Games after falling at the ninth hurdle at round 2.Johnson's early exit paved the way for Liu's win. He finally took the gold medal and put a Chinese man's name on the record book.?

Oprah Winfrey, the queen of American daytime talk TV, is considered one of the most powerful women in the world. Now, after 25 years’ hosting The Oprah Winfrey Show, the star has announced she is calling it quits.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the move “signals the beginning of the decline for the daytime talk show.” More women are working full-time jobs, and people are turning to cable (有线电视) and pre-recorded shows for their entertainment.
It may be that Oprah isn’t quitting so much as moving on. She has created the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), and will most likely move her show to the network. If audiences around the world need Oprah, they well know where to look.
Oprah Winfrey was born to a single teenage mother in a small town in rural Mississippi, US. As a child, she lived with poverty and abuse.

She quickly rose through the ranks of radio and television before launching her own production company and starting her own show.

But while other talk shows turned ugly, featuring guests who argued and attacked each other with chairs, Oprah rose above the mess.
“Part of her power lies in the fact that her life story resonates (产生共鸣) with her audience, as a kind of version of the American dream,” writes Kevin Connolly, a reporter with the BBC.
She became a star because of the way she opened up about her problems to her audience. She shared her own struggles with relationships and weight. She focused on self-help. Connolly believes “something in her honesty and her sometimes painfully emotional directness struck home with a certain type of American”.
60. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

62. From Kevin Connolly, we know people like Oprah’s show for all the reasons EXCEPT ________.
A. Oprah always shares people’s life stories in her show
B. the audiences are touched by Oprah’s honesty and frankness
C. Oprah’s life story reflects the truth of American dream
D. some audiences are inspired by Oprah’s show

MIAMI (AFP) ― Yao Ming’s 34-point performance against Shaquille O’Neal has the 2.26m Chinese center enjoying a happiness almost as huge as himself.

Yao scored 34 points, 14 in the fourth quarter, to spark (激励) Houston past defending NBA champion Miami 94-72 Sunday night. Yao also grabbed 14 rebounds and helped keep “Shaq” to 15 points of 6-of-14 shooting from the field.

“Every time I score on (Shaq) I’m happy because he’s such a great player,” Yao said. “No question he’s the toughest player in the league. You have to have energy and mental toughness in the fourth quarter or else he’ll wear you down.”

Yao was generous in victory, indicating that O’Neal has not yet returned to top form after missing two games with a injured left knee.

“He wasn’t the same Shaq tonight as he was during the playoffs last year,” Yao said. “That was a totally different Shaq out there.”

Nevertheless, Yao’s task was far from simple in containing the controlling big man who has muscled his way to three NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and another last season with the Heat.

“It’s a hard job. He’s the most important center in this league,” Yao said. “I just have to keep running with him and matching him play-for-play at both ends.”

Yao, whose Rockets have won four games in a row, has proven he can reach that next level and made believers out of plenty of competitors, including Heat coach Pat Riley.

“Yao was a load,” Riley said. “We got our heads handed to us in the second half.”

No one knew that better than O’Neal, who watched Yao hit 11-of-19 shots just two nights after a 35-point, 17-rebound performance in a victory over New York.

“He hit a lot of tough shots and when you’re playing against a guy like that ... you’re not going to block his shot,” O’Neal said. “You’ve just got to try to push him out and play him tough.”

63. The reason why Yao Ming defeats Shaq is most probably that______ ____.

A. Yao Ming has now become stronger than any other player in NBA.

B. Shaq has missed some important chances of practice for some extra matches.

C. The injury on his leg prevented him from behaving best in the match

D. The best period for Shaq has passed and he can not play as well as before.

64. The underlined phrase in the third paragraph means ____ _____.

A. knock…down B. break…down C. tire…out D. get …over

65. Which do you think is true based on the above passage? ____ _____

A. Although defeated this time, O’Neal still remains one of the best players in NBA for his great contributions to helping his teams win three NBA titles.

B. Yao’s excellent performance has made him gain more supporters from those not knowing him very well, even including his “enemies”.

C. Only O’Neal knows clearly that Yao Ming has become the most challenging one in NBA.

D. O”Neal is gradually losing his leading center because has never been as energetic as before

66. From what Riley said, we can include that __________.

A. Yao has become the best one in NBA and no one can be over him any more.

B. The team Houston led by Yao Ming promises to be the most difficult one to be defeated.

C. Any team will lose the match if they meet Houston, with Yao playing on the ground.

D. Yao has become a trouble to each team because he can always lead his team defeating others in the second half.
