    Twenty-three-year-old Michael Phelps has become a phenomenon (神话) in swimming.
    At the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, he won eight gold medals. That was more than the whole Australian team could put together. He beat (打败) Mark Spitz’s 1972 record of seven wins in the pool at the one Olympics. Phelps has put his name next to seven world records.
    Nine days, 17 games, morning and night he competed and won. He had to beat former (从前的) world record-holders and gold medalists. He had to turn their wins into old news.
    Michael Phelps started to swim at the age of 5. Guess which stroke (动作) he first tried? The backstroke. It’s because he didn’t want to put his face in the water.
    By the age of 7, he had taken part in a lot of swimming competitions. At 11, he met Bob Bowman who saw the kid’s great talent.
    How did Phelps become so good? He was born with the body of a swimmer. He stands 1.87meters high and has a wide wingspan (臂展). He knows how to use his body to full advantage. His hands and feet are like paddles (踏板) in the water and he has a strong kick.
    But that’s not all；he also has the heart and will to win. He thinks that anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it.
    Swimming is Phelps’ life. Every day he spends five hours in the water, swimming about 11 kilometers. He never takes a day off. This is a young man who knows what he wants.
    “If I didn’t swim my best, I’d think about it at school, at dinner, and with my friends. It would drive me crazy,” he said.
    “There are no limits (限制). The more you dream, the further you get.”

    (One day Alice runs after a strange rabbit and comes into a deep hole. She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next day. She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)
    The Caterpillar(毛毛虫) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth, and said to her in a tired, sleepy voice.
    “Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar.
    This opening for a talk couldn’t make Alice at ease. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I----I hardly know, sir, just at present ----at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”
    “What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, “Explain yourself!”
    “I can’t explain MYSELF. I’m afraid, sir.” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”
    “I don’t see.” said the Caterpillar.
    “I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly.” Alice replied very politely, “for I can’t understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling.”
    “It isn’t.” said the Caterpillar.
    “Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet.” said Alice. “But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹，茧)----you will some day, you know ----and then after that into a butterfly, I think you’ll feel it a little stranger, won’t you?”
    “Not a bit.” said the Caterpillar.
    “Well, perhaps your feelings may be different.” said Alice. “All I know is, it would make ME feel very strange.”
    “You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully. “Who are YOU?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such VERY short sentences. She drew herself up and said very seriously, “I think you ought to tell me who YOU are first.”
    “Why?” said the Caterpillar.
    Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant, she turned away.
    “Come back!” the Caterpillar called after her. “I’ve something important to tell you!”
    This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.
    小题1:Where may their talk take place?
    A．In a wonderland. B．In the field.
    C．In the tree.D．Outside the hole.
    小题2:Alice didn’t feel __________ during her talk with Caterpillar.
    A．shyB．sadC．angryD．strange
    小题3:Why did Alice think she was not herself?
    A．Because she was too young to understand the changes.
    B．Because being changed several times in a day made her feel puzzled.
    C．Because she didn’t like her changes
    D．Because she didn’t feel very well.
    小题4:Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story.
    ① Alice drew herself up.
    ② Alice used an example to explain the changes to herself.
    ③ Alice couldn’t explain herself.
    ④ Alice turned away.
    ⑤ Alice looked at Caterpillar for some time in silence.
    A．⑤②③④①B．⑤②③①④
    C．⑤③②④①D．⑤③②①④
    小题5:Which of the following sentences can be added to the end of the story?
    A．“Don’t be silly. You are still yourself.” said the Caterpillar.
    B．“Don’t be angry. You think you’re changed, do you?” said the Caterpillar.
    C．“Don’t be sad. You’ll grow bigger again.” said the Caterpillar.
    D．“Don’t be afraid. You can go home now.” said the Caterpillar.
