But one afternoon, Cocoa started acting strangely. I was sitting on the floor playing with him, 15 he started pawing and smelling at the right side of my 16 . He had never done anything like this ever before, and I told him, “No.” To Cocoa, one “no” is usually 17 , but not that day.

When 7-year-old Warren Buffett said,“I will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delivering newspaper and buying stocks. The American had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school.

And this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to Forbes Magazine.

Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.

As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience.

After graduating from university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.

“Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner.

The passage is mainly about ___________.

A. why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world’s richest man

B. what effect Buffett’s childhood experiences had on his success

C. how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitude

D. what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child

B. He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time.

C. He achieved great success on stepping into the stock market.

D. He bought 162,000 square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.

How did Buffett behave at the stock market?

A. He often prefers some inexpensive stocks.

B. He will buy the stock whose price is lower than its value.

C. He always borrows money from his friends to buy stocks.

D. He will sell the stock if its price doesn’t go up.

Which is the main factor that determines Buffett’s success?

A. His education. B. His family background.

C. His desire to learn. D. His cooperation with his partner.

What can we infer from the passage?

A. Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market.

B．Buffett and Gates are business partners.

C．His father helped him a lot in his business.

D．Buffett has a good sense of business.

Five years ago, Steven Gerrard fulfilled a boyhood dream when he was made captain of Liverpool, the football club he had supported all his life. As one of the best teams in the English Premier League, the captain's armband weighed heavy on a player who had only turned 23.

But through a combination of individual brilliance on the pitch (球场) and a growing awareness of what being a skipper (队长) is all about, Gerrard has gone on to make the captain's role his own.

He performed a rescue act for Liverpool by twice scoring as they came from 2－0 down to draw 2－2 against Hull City on December 13.His efforts steered (带领) the team to the top of the Premier League. “It's easy for me to say we're a great team and the squad's great，” said Gerrard. “The hardest thing is to actually go out there and prove it on the pitch. I call the Premier League the bread and butter and I'm desperate for the title.”

Liverpool enjoyed some real success during the five years when Gerrard has been captain of the club—they've been to two Champions League finals and an FA Cup final, winning two out of three. But Gerrard believes he has learned more from being a captain “when things haven't gone too well”．

“You learn more from bad experiences really. Bad defeats, going out of competitions or failing short in the league, as captain, I feel more responsible, particularly when we get beaten，” he said. “I remember all those experiences and learn from all of that.”

Gerrard grew up watching Liverpool. He joined the club's youth academy as a school boy. He then had tryouts with various clubs at 14, including Manchester United, which he claimed in his autobiography (自传) was “to pressure Liverpool into giving me a contract.” He signed with the club in 1997.

Gerrard has dedicated his entire career to Liverpool and he is confident that the club will start another legend soon. “You just expect that dynasty to come，” he said.

1．The passage is mainly about ________.

A．Gerrard's love of Liverpool

B．what kind of person Gerrard is

C．Gerrard's latest performance on the pitch

D．Gerrard as captain of the Liverpool football club

2．From the text, we can see that ________.

A．Gerrard has outshone other captains of Liverpool

B．Gerrard did quite a good job in leading his team

C．Gerrrad intended to make the captain's role his own

D．Gerrrad has been confident of being a captain since chosen

3．Gerrard admitted that he learned more from ________.

A．try outs with various clubs

B．unsuccessful experiences

C．steering the team to the top

D．striving for the league title

4．From the last two paragraphs, we know that ________.

A．Gerrard compared Liverpool with other football clubs and finally decided on it

B．Gerrard was made captain soon after he signed with Liverpool

C．Gerrard believed the next season would be his dynasty

D．it was Liverpool that Gerrard had his eye on all along
