2、When Lew Alcindor was 13, and clearly still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships (奖学金) . The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.

At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches (教练) in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated (不败的) season.

From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches （对方教练）used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.

When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press (新闻界), and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered (高耸) over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe(长颈鹿). Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”

58. Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because_________.

A．he was young                                           B．he was hardworking

C．he was tall for his age                                D．he was skillful at playing basketball

A．serious, popular and slow                          B．tall, skillful and successful

C．kind, powerful and undefeated                    D．well-known, strict and experienced

60. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?

A．Their teams refused to play Power                     B．Their teams feared to see Alcindor

C．Their teams would lose courage                         D．Their teams would lose interest

61. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?

A．How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press    B．How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters

C．Why the press followed Alcindor closely                D．Why the public wanted Alcindor badly

1、Football is，I believe，the most important game in England：one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor，young and old，one can see them all there，shouting for one side or the other.

To a stranger，one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams.  He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match，and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.

Most schools in England take football seriously―much more seriously than nearly all European schools，where lessons are all that are important，and games are left for the children themselves. In England，it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in classroom，it also means the training of character by means of games，especially team games，where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for the team instead of working for himself or herself alone. The school therefore plays games and matches for its pupils.  Football is a good team game；it is good for both body and mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England.
