摘要： What is the passage mainly about? A. A great mother. B. A successful tennis player. C. How to be successful. D. How to win in tennis games. C Pirates of the Strait of Malacca You’ve heard of the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie. But what about pirates in real life? The Strait of Malacca off Indonesia’s coast is known to be one of the most pirate-infested areas in the world. In 2006 alone, there have been six pirate attacks in this area. The most recent attack was on Tuesday, July 4, 2006. The pirates traveled on a speedboat off Indonesia’s Sumatra Island and followed a Japanese ship. A duty officer noticed the incoming attack when the pirates tried to board the back end of the ship. Floodlights were turned on and the crew used water to successfully prevent the pirates from boarding the ship. This attack was just two days after pirates boarded two U.N.-chartered ships carrying tsunami reconstruction materials. In those attacks, there were no injuries, but crew members among one ship were robbed of their personal belongings and cash. On the second ship, the pirates damaged and stole various pieces of equipment. Although there have been six attacks this year, last year attacks were at an all-time low because of increased naval patrolling by Indonesia and its neighbors. “At the moment we don’t know if these are isolated cases or the start of attacks again in the Malacca Straits, said Noel Choong, chief of the International Maritime Bureau’s piracy reporting center in Kuala Lumpur. More than 50,000 ships pass through the strait each year carrying half of the world’s oil and a third of its commerce. The area is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world and a key link between Asia and Europe.

Handsome Safin is loved by many women fans and he is called “the most attractive man”. His strength and forehand and backhand skills are the best in the world, which are in fact unbeatable while he is at his best.

Marat Safin was born in Moscow on 27th January, 1980, and was introduced to the game at a very early age. His mother Rausa, one of the former top 10 Russian women tennis players, used to take baby Marat with her when she practiced at the local Spartak club. This is where Marat also learned to play.

Marat had picked up his racket (球拍) almost as soon as he could walk and at five was hitting balls with a little child until 1992.

When Marat was 13, his parents decided to send him abroad for further practice, so in that year Marat and his mother visited a tennis school in Valencia where Maria Pasqual, former director of Spanish women’s tennis, was asked to judge his potential. Pasqual liked what she saw and managed to persuade a Swiss client into keeping him at the school.

In the following four years Marat lived in Valencia employing Pasqual as his career advisor, working on his great clay court skills and learning the Spanish language.

Marat’s first title came in 1997 at a Challenger in Espinho and soon afterwards he turned professional. He won his first title on the ATP Tour in August, 1999 when he beat Greg Rusedski in the final of the MFS Professional Championships in Boston. In 2000, Safin won his first Grand Slam (大满贯) title―US Open. He also reached the final of the Australian Open in 2002 and 2004. On November 7, 2004, Marat Safin beat Czech qualifier’ Stepanek to win his third Paris Masters title. He also won the Paris Masters in 2000 and 2002.

“I really enjoy tennis because it brings about extreme emotions and allows me to live my dreams,” said Safin. Yes, the future certainly looks rosy for him. Just like what his former adviser, Maria Pasqual said, “He will be a champion one day” ― surely he already is!

59. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. almost all the women love Safin

B. his strength and forehand and backhand skills are never beaten

C. Safin’s success benefited a lot from his family

D. his mother Rausa trained Safin strictly from very young
