James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.

"J.C., "he replied.

She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.

Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second?  year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.

The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games  in Berlin the next year,  and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.

"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."

Having returned from Berlin,  he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,  either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

Owens? Olympic victories  made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,  motorcycles and dogs.

"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later." But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."

In time,  however,  his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."

1.

 Owens got his other name "Jesse" when.

A. he went to Ohio State University    

B. his teacher made fun of him

2.

 In the Big Ten meet,Owens

A. hurt himself in the back           B. succeeded in setting many records

D. he didnˊt  talk to the US president on the phone

  After 78 years in the UK, the Dutch clothing retailer has closed shop for the last time.But C&A is not alone.In the past week the best known names on British high streets-Marks&Spence, Boots and Littlewoods-have announced some of their worst ever trading figures.

  The downturn is not a case of belt tightening.Although there are fears of a recession(经济衰退), UK consumer spending has set new records in the past year.Experts say the sudden fall is the result of a revolution that is changing almost every side of British lives.

  Mr.And Mrs.UK Average are throwing out the everyday and trading up to the finer things in life.Consumers are declaring an end to all things ordinary.The good taste revolution has swept the country with remarkable speed.Sales of once popular fashions are dropping quickly.Just three years ago Marks&Spencer was the UK’s favorite.People now consider the fashions “ordinary”.

  Yet just 100 yards from the empty aisles in London’s Oxford Street, the story is different.Burberry enjoyed a 35 percent increase in sales income in the last three months of last year.Gucci saw its sales rise 25 percent.Armani reported 20 percent growth.Demand for the logo-print at Louis Vuitton cannot be satisfied immediately.And growth is not only limited to the wealthy South-east.

  Experts say Britain has moved from a “good enough” culture to “good taste” culture.Almost everywhere you look-from clothes, to food and drink, to cars, to home furnishings, to holidays-Britons are buying into a life less ordinary.

  Rising wealth is driving the revolution.New research shows that the average UK household is 40 percent better off than in 1986.“In the past only those with money and time on their hands were able to devote energy to the search for tasteful living,” says Martin Hayward, a director at the Henley Center.“But as incomes rise and free time increases, the privileged many are living higher.More middleclass consumers are developing a sense of their own self-image through what they buy.”

(1)

________ has caused the great revolution in Britain.

[  ]

A.

Fear of earnings less money in the future

B.

Increase in incomes and free time

C.

Desire for more tasteful living

D.

Difficulty to buy more less ordinary things on the market

The expression “belt tightening” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

[  ]

A.

spending less money than before

B.

selling less clothing

C.

eating less food than before

D.

buying less ordinary things

(3)

More and more people in Britain today ________.

[  ]

A.

enjoy a good rise in their incomes but spare more time for work

B.

like to buy things of less ordinary and have a better taste of life

C.

refuse to buy things of fashion and save more money to become millionaires
