David Beckham was born in 1975, in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy , his greatest passion was football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award (奖金). This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for the schools of Essex and also for his county team.

  In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995, he played his first football league game against Leeds United. During 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.

  His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996—1997 season, he scored an surprising goal from beyond the halfway line; seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, Beckham sent the ball over the goalkeeper’s head and into the goal. It was a wonderful goal and Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free—kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.

David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon (跟腱)

 

which means he could be out of action for around six months.With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league.After attempting to kick the ball he fell to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered (被担架抬走)away.

It is not yet known whether he has completely severed (切断)his Achilles tendon or only torn it.The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.

       England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.

       "We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement."I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.

       "David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."

       Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed (共鸣 )Capello's words of support:

       "It is a horrible situation for Beckham.I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.

       David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.

       Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.

       Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.

       If he could repeat the same feat in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.

       So, perhaps all is not lost.Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:

       "You never want to write off (排除) David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back (恢复原状)."

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.

But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon(跟腱)which means he could be out of action for around six months. With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.

The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league. After attempting to kick the ball he collapsed to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered(被担架抬走)away.

It is not yet known whether he has completely severed(切断)his Achilles tendon or only torn it. The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.

England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.

"We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement. "I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.

"David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."

Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed(共鸣)Capello's words of support:

"It is a horrible situation for Beckham. I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.

David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.

Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.

Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.

If he could repeat the same feat,in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.

So, perhaps all is not lost. Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:

"You never want to write off(排除)David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back(恢复原状)."
