    　　The first morning I awoke in the house where Cathy Freeman once lived－in Miller Street, Richmond, an inner city suburb of Melbourne, my eyes caught upon a black and white sticker, with a name and number on it, pasted(粘贴)to a mirror beside the bed．The number and word were “48.60, Atlanta”．Cathy had typed the famous prediction(预言)on a sticker ages before the 1996 Olympic Games, as an affirmation(断言)of the time she wanted to run in the 400m final．

    　　Cathy thought she was typing the time that black French woman, the pretty MarieJose Perec, had run to win the 400m gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992．She believed she’d have to aim to run at least that fast in Atlanta but she got it wrong．Perec ran slower, 48.83 seconds in Barcelona．But what matter? The power of the mind!In Atlanta Cathy ran what she typed, or near enough, 48.63．To gaze(注视)at that time, still there, to see her grand ambition(抱负)－it was then a whole second faster than she had run before－was to become history．As I stood there I saw her once more in slow motion, in Atlanta, pushing herself to the edge, and beyond．Above the number was another sticker with the words “World’s Greatest Athlete”．They were the words Cathy had copied from an old sticker that her mother had given her as a teenager, a legend(座右铭)to paste on her bedroom wall to flow into her daughter’s mind, and it had worked．

    阅读理解
         I wasn't interested in becoming a model at first. I worked as a receptionist in a beauty shop during high school. It was in South Dakota. A woman who had worked for Vogue-a famous fashion magazine said to me, "Why don't you go to New York and be a model?"
         So I went to New York at eighteen. I went to the first model agency, they thought that I was too
    long-waisted. It was too bad since I came from South Dakota. I looked up in the telephone book. Hunting Hartford had just bought the agency. So I went there. I was in such a hurry that I couldn't give my name to the receptionist. About half an hour later, the man who had just taken over the agency-he had been a male model before-came in. I was just staring at this unfamiliar man when he said, "You! Come into my office!"
         How do you feel as a fashion model? Quite OK, I should say. But you stop thinking when you are
    working. It takes a lot of nervous energy as well because the camera goes one, two, three very fast and
    you have to move very fast. I like my job because it gives me freedom. I can have half a day off to do
    things I like. I can't do that if I do a normal job. I never like becoming a secretary. They have to sit in the
    office for eight hours a day, facing the same people.
         Most models, after one or two years, can't be still very interested in it. But I like being a model.
    Maybe I was a born one, as many people say.
    1. Who inspired the author's desire to become a model?
    A. A woman customer in the beauty shop.
    B. Hunting Hartford.
    C. The author herself.
    D. The author's father.
    2. Why didn't the author return to South Dakota when she was first refused?
    A. Because she had a strong desire to become a model.
    B. Because South Dakota is far away from New York.
    C. Because Hunting Hartford asked her not to go back.
    D. Because she liked to be a receptionist at a beauty shop.
    3. Which of the following is not true?
    A. Hunting Hartford had an experience as a model.
    B. Hunting Hartford thought the author might be a good model.
    C. Hunting Hartford had always been a model agent.
    D. Hunting Hartford accepted the author as a model.
    4. Why did the author like being a model?
    A. Because she liked the woman customer.
    B. Because she liked the freedom.
    C. Because she liked to have a regular work schedule.
    D. Because she liked Hunting Hartford.
    5. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. Perseverance leads to your success.
    B. Finding a job you like to do is important.
    C. Both A and B.
    D. Becoming a model is quite easy.
