Calvin Coolidge, the thirtieth president of the United States, was a person who hated gossiping (闲聊); he had no time for small talk. The following two incidents clearly show how Coolidge enjoyed silence.
When he was vice-president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunities to take part in Washington's social life, especially the many dinner parties. Because of his knowing nothing about the art of conversation, he did not exactly endear. (使……受喜欢)himself to his hostesses (女主人). One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of former President Theodor Roosevelt's. Mrs Longworth, an excellent conversationalist, began to chat in her usual charming (媚人的) manner, but all attempts to arouse (引起) interest on the part of the vice-president were fruitless. Finally, she said, “I'm sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored.”
Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge answered in a low voice, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere.”
Later, when he was president and again at a dinner party, Coolidge was seated next to a most clever society woman, one of those busybodies, who seemed to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they meet. “Oh, Mr President,” she said,“you are always so quiet. I made a bet (打赌) today that I could get more than two words out of you.”
The president became angry and then said,“You lose.”

D
KIDS in a Sudanese refugee camp raise a cloud of dust as they kick around a football. NBA superstar Traey Mc Grady watches from a distance before offering to buy the kids a grass patch for $1,000.
Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil. Or maybe he just wants to do something—anything—to give these children some hope. But he is told, politely, that grass is not what the kids need.
Mc Grady, 29, writes on his website that he traveled to Africa because he was tired of only reading about it in the news.“Who are the faces behind the statistics?” he said.“I need to see it for myself.” And he did. He stepped out of his beautiful house and flew to a place torn to bits by war and famine(饥荒). He slept in a tent. He talked with people who had suffered. And he swallowed his pride.
But no one should blame Mc Grady for wanting to buy the kids a patch of grass. Sport gave him a chance, so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.
Mc Grady was eyed by NBA scouts as a teenager and he didn’t bother going to college. Instead, he leaped right into the NBA. Since that move, basketball has given him a handsome living, but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people. As Mc Grady would learn in Africa, most people see sport as just a break from life’s difficulties. They don’t mistake it for life itself. Only Mc Grady knows how the trip to Africa changed him, but I’d bet that, at the very least, it has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful.
Mc Grady doesn’t own an NBA championship ring. He hasn’t risen to the heights of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan. But, perhaps, now he knows he doesn’t have to in order to truly make a difference in the world.
63.The refugee children most probably need______.
A.clean drinking water B.a grass football patch
C.necessities of survival D.a tent to sleep in
64.What can we learn about Mc Grady from the passage?
A.Basketball made him what he is today.
B.He is an NBA superstar as great as Kobe or Jordan.
C.He didn’t show his talent for basketball as a teenager.
D.He taught children to play football in a refugee camp.
65.What does the underlined part “scouts” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.players. B.fans. C.audience. D.hunters.
66.Mc Grady learned from his visit to Africa that______.
A.he needn’t improve his basketball skills to reach the heights of his seniors
B.sport gave him a chance and means everything to him
C.people in hunger can never understand the importance of sport
D.what’s truly meaningful can be a world of difference to different people

Kids in a Sudanese refugee（难民）camp stir up a cloud of dust as they kick around a football. NBA superstar Tracy McCray watches from a distance before offering to buy the kids a grass pitch（运动场）for $1. 000.
Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil. Or maybe he just wants to do something ― anything ― to give these children some hope. But he is told, politely, that grass is not what the kids need.
This scene appears in 3 Point, a new documentary（纪录片）, which shows the Houston Rockets star coming face to face with the reality that life is more than sport.
McGrady,29, writes on his website that he traveled to Africa because he was tired of only reading about it in news. “Who were the faces behind the numbers?” He said. “I needed to see it for myself.
And he did. He stepped out of his large house and flew to a place torn to bits by war and famine（饥荒）. He slept in a tent. He kept away from minefields. He talked with people who have been suffering. And he swallowed（咽下）his pride.
But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a pitch of grass. Sports gave him a chance, so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.
McGrady was eyed by NBA managers as a teenager and he didn’t bother going to college.
Instead, he leaped right into the NBA. Since that move, basketball has given him a handsome living, but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people.
As McGrady would learn in Africa, most people see sports as just a break from life’s difficulties. They don’t mistake it for 1ife itself.
Only McGrady knows how this Africa trip changed him, but I’d bet that, at the very least, it has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful.
McGrady doesn’t own an NBA championship ring. He hasn’t risen to the heights of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan.

If 2005 was the year that Ding Junhui exploded onto the international snooker scene, then 2006 could be the year he became a legend.
He won the famous Northern Ireland Trophy after beating former world No. 1 Ronnie O’Sullivan 9-6 in August 2006 and shot up to fifth place in the World Snooker Provisional Rankings. With the first title of the new snooker season at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, Ding became only the second player in snooker history to win three ranking titles before his 20th birthday, following the 2005 China Open and UK Championship. Ding was born on April 1, 1987 in Yixing, Jiangsu Province. His talent was discovered by his father when he was just eight years old. Systematic training started when he turned 11. In order to find better training facilities for Ding, his father gave up his small business and took his son to Dongguan, Guangdong Province. Father and son shared an eight-square-meter room created by partitioning the local snooker club.
Finally, Ding’s mother sold their house in their hometown and arrived at their narrow “room”. Parental love was all that supported Ding. He practiced very hard. Even as a professional player living in England, he practiced eight hours a day from 10 am to 6 pm, without a day off.
Their efforts began to pay off when 13-year-old Ding started to win prizes in an Asian invitational tournament. He turned professional at the age of sixteen.
Ding has confirmed his reputation as snooker’s most exciting young talent and perhaps the one with the potential to dominate world snooker in years to come.
However, the comments Ding and his father made on the miracle Ding performed were controversial. According to the media, when Ding questioned the importance of schooling, his father described what he did for Ding as nothing but a bet on life!
1. The whole passage is centered upon_________.
A. hard work contributing to success B. a successful sport—snooker
C. Ding Junhui’s way to success D. the father-son relationship
2. The underlined word “dominate” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.

3. In which year Ding Junhui was not an amateur for snooker any more?
A. 1998 B. 2000 C. 2003 D. 2005
4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The year of 2005 is the turning point for Ding Junhui.
B. His talent for snooker was first discovered by his coach when trained.
C. He is sure to be the one with the potential to dominate world snooker in the coming years
