【题目】阅读下面短文，完成相关任务。
Jeff Gaye, the young American swimmer, is becoming more and more famous. He has his own teacher, driver and even his own cook. Each time people hear him speak on television, they can’t believe he’s only 13. Jeff’s father is an engineer but he is also his son’s manager. He says, “I don’t make Jeff do anything he doesn’t want to do. He chooses which competition to swim in. But he works hard and wins nearly every race. I cut out all the newspaper articles about him and put them in a big box!”
Jeff is very busy every day because people want to write about him or photograph (给……拍照) him for magazines. “When I’m at school,” Jeff says, “I just want to be like my classmates. That’s really important to me.” But Jeff doesn’t have a normal schoolboy’s life. He often has to travel for international races and has little free time. “I go to the pool every day and swim there for at least six hours. When I’m in the pool, I love every minute.”
