Fastest Man on Planet

  If he had not followed his teacher's advice, Asafa Powell would not be the fastest man on the planet.

  The 24-year-old Jamaican(牙买加人)made history by clocking a time of 9.74 seconds in the 100-meter race at the IAAF Grand Prix meeting in Italy last week.He improved on his previous record by more than 0.03 seconds.

  His reaction to breaking the world record was typical Powell.No crowd-pleasing antics(滑稽的动作)or boasting.Instead, a polite and shy Powell only laughed and smiled.“Me, the fastest man?It is unbelievable,”he said.“My next goal is to win gold at the Beijing Olympics.”Powell displayed his talent for running in his school years.He was always the fastest.In races, he would often race against much older boys and still beat them.But it wasn't always his ambition to be an athlete.Instead, Powell wanted to be a footballer.“It was my teacher, Mrs Fraser, who told me I could be a runner.I didn't always do what my teachers told me.But this time I did.”So he began training every day.In his high school yearbook he wrote his goal was“to break the world record”.

  He achieved his goal, but it does not mean he has had a great career.Although Powell has been the fastest person in the world for the last two years, he has struggled to get results at major competitions.

  He finished fifth at Athens Olympics in 2004.Two weeks ago in the World Championships in Osaka, Japan, Powell's performance was disappointing.He panicked in the final and he could only finish third.

  “I was too nervous in Osaka.I thought too much about my race and the time I was hoping to achieve,”he said.“I even forgot how I should have run in the last 40 m of a race.”

  But his record has put him back onto the center stage.After all, Asafa in Jamaican means“rising to the occasion.”So will Powell win his first major tide in the Beijing Olympic Games?We will wait and see.

On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.

Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.

Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves. "Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回忆). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line."

Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!" Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.

"Let's aim for the pier(码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?" he cried. "A little bit," the boys said. Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swan toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.

“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time. After 30minutes, they reached the pier.

1.Why did the two boys go to the sea?

A.To go boat rowing.

B.To get back their football.

C.To swim in the open water.

D.To test the umbrella as a sail.

2.What does "it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The beach.                            B.The water.

C.The boat.                              D.The wind.

3.Why did Tim raise his head regularly?

A.To take in enough fresh air.

B.To consider turning back or not.

C.To check his distance from the boys.

D.To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.

4.How did the two boys finally reach the pier?

A.They were dragged to the pier by Tim.

B.They swam to the pier all by themselves.

C.They were washed to the pier by the waves.

D.They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble.That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.

“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville.As I got onto  Highway 40,blue lights and sirens(警笛)going.I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway.The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me.He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”

But Hyde couldn’t go after him.Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders,so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident.But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove,hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car.As it turned out,keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult.Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.

Their thumbs sure must be sore.

Two central Pennsylvania friends spent most of March in a text messaging record attempt, exchanging a thumbs-flying total of 217,000.

For one of the two, that meant an inches-thick itemized bill for $ 26,000.

Nick Andes, 29, and Doug Klinger, 30, were relying on their unlimited text messaging plans to get them through the escapade(短信套餐), so Andes didn’t expect such a big bill.

“ It came in a box that cost $ 27.55 to send to me.” he said. He said he “panicked” and called T-Mobile, which said it would investigate the charges.

The two Lancaster-area residents have been practically non-stop texters for about a decade since they attended Berks Technical Institute together.

That led Andes to searching for the largest monthly text message total he could find posted online: 182,000 sent in 2005 by Deepak Sharma in India.

Andes and Klinger were able to set up their phones to send multiple messages. During a February test run they found they could send 6,000 or 7,000 messages on some days, prompting the March messaging marathon.

“ Most were either short phrases or one word, ‘LOL’ or ‘Hello’, things like that , with tons and tons of repeats,” said Andes, reached by phone.

Andes sent more than 140,000 messages, and Klinger sent more than 70,000 to end the month with a total of just over 217,000, he said.

A spokesman for Guinness World Records didn’t immediately return messages asking whether it would be certified as a record.

April came as a relief to Andes’ wife , Julie, who had found his phone tied up with texting when she tried to call him on lunch breaks.

“ She was tired of it the first few days into it, ”Andes said.

 

60. The two young men sent so many messages           

       A. in order to set a record

       B. for they were good friends

       C. for they had a lot to say to each other

       D. to train their thumbs

61. Which of the following is true?

       A. The two young men set a new Guinness World Record by sending 217,000 messages.

       B. The two young men had sent 217,000 messages altogether.

       C. The two young men didn’t care about money

       D. They did some tests before starting the messaging marathon.

62. How did Andes feel when he received the bill box according to the text?

       A. Satisfied                B. Sad.                      C. Terrified                 D. Regretful

63. We can infer from the passage that              

       A. The two men were carrying on another messaging marathon the next month

       B. They decided to share the bill

       C. They sent much fewer messages later.

       D. Andes wife supported him whatever he did.
