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)．"

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The automobile may not be closely associated with modern American culture, but it has occupied a central role in America's economic and social history．
No one can deny the status of Henry Ford in car history．When the first Ford Model T rolled off the assembly line in 1908, businessman Henry Ford transformed the car from a luxury attachment for the rich to an automobile product for the middle classes．The rush of cars into the community forced all levels of government to build new and better roads．Better roads fed the demand for larger, faster, more stylish vehicles, and a host of companies rushed to meet that demand．
If there was a first Golden Age of automobile, it may well have been the 1950s．It was an age of prosperity．Large, regular paychecks encouraged the public display of wealth through costly items such as new cars．Americans, moreover, needed those cars as they moved away from the cities into the suburbs, where such things as stores, jobs, and schools were seldom within walking distance．Cars became essential if people were to get to work or to the grocery store．
As Ac 1950s slipped into 1960s, it became apparent that these fashionable wheels were gas-consuming road cruisers, dangerous in an accident, and often full of faults．Under pressure from a variety of groins, the federal government required that newer models provide greater fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions．Seatbelts became standard equipment as well rising fad prices in the 1970s, coupled with concern for the environment, made the smaller cars produced by foreign companies for European and Asian markets very popular．
The 1980s and 1990s saw an upswing in the popularity of big cars．New models including minivans and sport utility vehicles have become main products in auto dealers’ showrooms．Traffic jams on the roads have become part of the American way of life．In 1911 a horse could travel through rush-hour traffic in Los Angeles at 11 miles per hour．In 2000 a car covering the same territory at the same time of day moved at about 4 miles per hour．But perhaps that is not important．When a car is equipped with a telephone and television set, a computer, and global positioning satellite connections, it can feel just like home．
