Liu Xiang was the first Asian hero to win the men’s 110m hurdles（110米跨欄）at the Olympic Games.

When he crossed the finishing line far ahead of the others in a world record—equaling time of 12.91 seconds， many fans burst into tears（突然哭起來）. It was Liu’s first Olympics and he won the gold medal. In 2006， he set the new record of 12.88.

When he won the gold medal， he said in tears， “I never thought I could run so fast， and I never thought I would break the Olympic record. I am very， very excited. This is a wonder. I’m proud not just for myself and for Chinese but for Asia. My race went wonderfully.” Liu added， “It is an amazing experience being the Olympic champion. I want to thank many people. We Chinese have shown the world we can run as fast as anybody else.”

When Liu was a Grade Four student， he was chosen by the Junior Sports School to practice jumping. But when a bone test showed that he would not become a tall man， Liu was advised to give up practicing after one year although he had won the national championship for his age group. Liu’s parents also wanted him to give it up and study more at school， but Liu decided to continue.

In 1998 when Liu Xiang， aged 15， met the famous coach Sun Haiping， his career changed greatly. Sun believed Liu was a rising star and he visited Liu’s parents several times， and finally they were persuaded to let Liu practice the 110m hurdles.

But Liu thought 2004 was just the beginning， and he expected to be at his peak in Beijing in 2008. Liu Xiang said， “For some players， it’s just a job. For me， it’s what I love.”

56. At what age did Liu Xiang win the Olympic championship？

A. 12.B. 15.C. 21.D. 22.

57. What does the underlined word“persuaded”in Paragraph 5 mean？

A. Supported sb.B. Made sb agree to do.

For a while， my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers. They were there all the time： early morning， noon， and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats， young couples in Adidas shoes， and middle—aged men with red faces.“Come on！” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening.“You’ll feel great.”

Well， I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day， anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life， and not a day more. Based on my experience， jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around， and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army， I’m not alone in my opinion.

First of all， jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet gave a real pounding（重擊）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot， leg， and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging， and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people， but if you have any physical weaknesses， jogging will surely bring them out， as they did with me.

Secondly， I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty—five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say， “I love being out there with just my thoughts.”Well， my thoughts began to bore me， and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.

And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain？ And that wasn’t just the first week： it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level， and pain wasn’t fun. What a cruel（殘酷的）way to do it！ So many other exercises， including walking， lead to almost the same results painlessly， so why jog？

I don’t jog any more， and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace（步速）， and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise， and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging， and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

I never got along with Dad. But when he was dying， I set off for Nebraska to be with him and my family. I stopped for the night at a hotel with a pool， hoping that they would relax me.

The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the pool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. “Where are you going？” he asked. When I told him about my father， he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject， but then for some reason， I told him everything.

Finally the man said， “Even with all the trouble， remember， your father still loves you.” All at once， warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back： Dad running alongside my wobbling（搖擺的）bicycle， the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation， and his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle（撓癢）.“Yes， I know he does，” I heard myself say. And for the first time in years I believed it. The man left， leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.

Back in my room， as I went to bed， I decided it was time to forgive my father. Then I wished he’d forgive me too. The phone bell woke me up at 3 am. My sister’s voice sent a shiver（寒戰）through me： Dad had just died. I had wanted to see him and make peace. But as sadness was beginning to surround me， I remembered that the man by the pool had already brought Dad and me together.

Shopping is not as simple as you may think！ There are all kinds of tricks at play each time we reach out for a particular brand of product on the shelf.

Colouring， for example， varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged（包裝）in greens， yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets（小包裝紙袋）are often blue and expensive goods， like chocolates， are gold or silver.

When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently， researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually， it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe， and white as calm.

The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.

It is believed that the better—known companies spend， on average， 70 percent of the total cost of the products itself on packaging！

The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears Soap， who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote（推銷）their goods， came to the conclusion： Any fool can make soap， but it takes a genius to sell it.

69. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text？

A. The cost of its package. B. The price of the product.

C. The colour of its package. D. The brand name of the product.

71. Which of the following is the key to success in product sales？

A. The way to promote goods.B. The discovery of a genius.

C. The team to produce a good product.D. The brand name used by successful producers.

72. Which of the following would be the best title for this text？

A. Choice of Good ProductsB. Disadvantages of Products

C. Effect of Packaging on ShoppingD. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks

John Gibson， chairman of the Independent Schools Association （ISA）， said traditional outdoor play was a“primitive（早期的）preparation”for adult life because boys and girls learned basic skills.

Experts recently claimed that teenagers were spending up to 16 hours a day playing games online， with“potentially（潛在地）serious results”for their education and social opportunities.

Speaking at the ISA yearly conference， Mr Gibson said that many children brought up in the 50s and 60s were given more freedom to play outside.

“I believe much of what we did then was part of a primitive preparation for adult life，” he said. “Through games such as building a den（洞穴）， we practiced the skills we would later find useful， and we learned to face success and disappointment in equal measure. When your life is lived through images constructed by a technical genius played on a screen， I just feel it will be more difficult to experience those important preparations for adult life.”

In recent years， concerns over “stranger danger” have led to a sharp going down in outdoor play. A report last year found a quarter of 8— to 10—year—olds had never played outside without an adult， while one in three parents refused to allow older children， aged 8 to 15， to play outside.

Mr Gibson said home had become a “prison” to many young people. “Now， many parents live in a shadow of fear， afraid to let their children out of their sight for too long. They’re afraid something terrible would happen to them，” he said.

“When William Wordsworth wrote 150 years ago that‘shades of the prison—house begin to close upon the growing boy’， I believe he was talking mainly about school. But today’s prison—house is just as likely to be the home， a prison for boys and girls whose fingers are good at working their mobiles and computers but have never been used to play games.” He said schools should “help children be well prepared for life”.
