When Han Duan started her professional career at 16, China’s national women’s football team was defeated in the final of the World Cup by the US. While she was asked to play in her first World Cup in 2003, she largely remained on the bench after the first match.

    But things have changed. Now, Han is one of the most important players in China’s team. “I can’t wait to play. Life is short. You must make the most out of it,” Han always says like that. 

    Han wants every possible honor that a football player can get — an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal. She has always been good at sports, especially swimming and horizontal bars. At school, she was the fastest in the 60m and 100m.

    But the reason she picked football was that she wanted to get more compliments (称赞). “Football is for boys. But I feel more fulfilled when I can do better than them and win more compliments,” she said. Later, when she entered a football school, the coach always asked Han to show others what to do.

    However, nobody can be good at everything. Han described her singing as “howling” and the only school subject she was good at was Chinese. “I was very happy every time my essay was posted on the wall for my schoolmates to read.” But Han still has some regrets about her school years. Her handwriting was terrible at school. She ever wanted to improve her handwriting but didn’t achieve much.

    “My fans ask for my signature (签名), so I’d better practice and practice. It’s not too late,” she says.

56. In the World Cup in 2003, Han Duan was a(n) ______.

A. member of the audience     

B. unimportant player

C. team captain          

D. fan of a sports star

57. What does the underlined part in the second paragraph imply?

A. Han Duan siezes every chance to learn more to fulfill herself.

B. Han Duan never wastes any of her practicing time.

C. Han Duan seizes every chance to take part in matches.

D. Han Duan has become ill and she will die quite soon.

58. According to the passage, we know that Han Duan ________.

A. has won an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal

B. was good at sports when she was at school

C. did very well in singing and Chinese when she was at school

D. often gets compliments because of her beautiful handwriting

59. From the fourth paragraph, it can be inferred that Han Duan most probably ________.

A. felt sad as the boys laughed at her

B. felt proud as she got compliments from others

C. felt sad as she was too strong as a girl

D. hated herself as she couldn’t do anything else well

60. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Growth of a sports star.             B. The World Cup.

C. Honor of a football player.        D. Star of tomorrow.

When I was younger, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific event that was 36 for me. We spent four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless in the streets. After that we went to a(n) 37 shelter.

I was in high school at the time and my sister was too 38 to take part. She wanted to 39 , so she made sixty cookies for us to take and 40 to people. When we got to the homeless shelter we passed out the remaining 41 we had left. Next, we began making sandwiches and pairing them with other goodies(好吃的东西)and 42 them with the crowd.

I explained I had been taught that everyone deserved respect. It 48  me to think that just because he was homeless, no one afforded him the 49 which every person should get. It broke my 50 , and I couldn’t help but cry. I just didn’t understand 51 no one ever called him sir. Just because he didn’t have money or a place to live in.

Before her 21-year-old daughter died in an accident in early 2007, Pam Weiss had never logged on to Facebook, a social-networking site. At that time, social-networking sites were used almost only by   36  . But she knew her daughter Amy Woolington, a UCLA student, had a(n)  37  , so in her sadness Weiss turned to Facebook to look for photos. She found what she was looking for and more. She was soon communicating with her daughter’s many friends,   38   memories through passages that her daughter had written. “It makes me feel   39   that Amy had a positive effect on so many people, and I wouldn’t have had a clue if it hadn’t been   40   Facebook,” says Weiss.And she wouldn’t have had a   41   if she had waited too long.

Like a growing number of sad relatives, Weiss tapped into one of the most powerful treasures of memories available: a loved one’s online presence. As people spend more time at   43  , there’s less being stored away in dusty attics(阁楼).These pieces of our lives that we put online can feel as eternal as the Internet itself, but what happens to our   44   identity after we die?
