                                          C

    Jim Carrey is one of the most recognized faces in the world—and certainly because of his rubbery face.

        Born in Ontario, Canada on January 17th, 1962 to a poor family, young Jim Carrey led a tough life, yet one good thing came out of it: He developed a great sense of humor to cope with life. At 15, he started performing at a Toronto comedy club. later he moved to LA and soon came to the attention of Rodney and went on his tour.

        Jim Carrey got his big break in 1990 oil the comedy show la Living Color. There Carrey perfected many characters, most widely-known one "Fire Marshal Bill", who always went up in flames. The show stopped when critics claimed that it encouraged kids to play with fire. This argument put Carrey' s name in the headlines for the first time.

    He broke into feature films in one single successful year, 1994, making it the Year of the Funny Face. First there was Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a surprise hit showing Carrey’s wacky (古怪) style. Next came The Mask, tailor-made for him and a hit with audiences. There was still Dumb and Dumber, which ended up on top of the box office.

        Carrey has slowed down, but his films have continued to make waves if not quite of the previous quality. There was Batman Forever, then a sequel to Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, which didn’t quite retake the sparkle (光彩) of the earlier one. Next came Liar, Liar, a terrific success everywhere, putting him back on top. Then came The Truman Show, a film which proved Jim Carrey was more than just a funny face. Snubbed (冷落) by the Oscars, he was clearly considered golden by the fans.

    44. All of the following films are considered of excellent quality EXCEPT______.

        A. Liar, Liar                 B. Dumb and Dumber

        C. The Truman Show          D. Ace Ventura : When Nature Calls

    45. Which of the following statements about Jim Carrey is TRUE?

        A. He has achieved his fame completely due to his face.

        B. His hard early life helped develop his style of humor.

        C. He received universal praises for his part in In Living Color.

        D. Not many people like his performing style.

    46. The underline word "sequel" in Paragrah 5 probably refers to_______.

        A. an adapted film of the original

        B. a film that continues a story

        C. a comedy show of a strange style

        D. a comment on a funny film

    47. What can be the best title of the passage?

        A. Jim Carrey—More Than a Funny Face

        B. Jim Carrey—Famous "Fire Marshal Bill"

        C. Jim Carrey’s Great Films

        D. Jim Carrey’s Acting Career

    He wasn’t sick. He wasn’t old. And he wasn’t losing. He had a very good final season and won his last game in 2008. And then he walked away.

    Lloyd Carr was 62. That’s a few years earlier than retirement(退休) age in America and many years earlier than some college football coaches say goodbye. How was Carr, who coached University of Michigan, able to leave so easily?

    “ It can be intoxicating,” Carr admits. “The Saturday afternoons and the crowds. And when you win, there’s nothing like it.”

    But the job needs hard work. The pressure to win. The endless training. The hours are so long that sleeping at the office is a normal thing. I reported Carr’s career at Michigan from 1995 to 2007. I saw him run onto the field before 100,000 cheering fans, saw him enjoy a share of a national championship with a 12-0 season.

    And when I visited him recently in retirement, the difference was noticeable. He seems much calmer, relaxed, more at peace. He says, “As much fun as it is, there’s a period when you have other things to deal with.”

    Carr knew he wanted to travel, see the world, read more, do other work. He is now connected with a children’s hospital, does some speaking, plays golf, and enjoys relaxing with his wife, Laurie, and their many grandchildren.

    Several of today’s big-name coaches are all about Carr’s retirement age. Nick Saban turns 59 this month. Jim Tressel is 57. Frank Beamer is already 63. None of them seems to be slowing down.

    So when, I ask Carr, is the right moment to leave such a great job?

    He thinks. Finally, he says, “When you love it and can still walk away from it. That’s the right moment.”

    1.Lloyd Carr stopped working as a coach because he _______.

    A．was too old                            B．was injured seriously

    C．had other things to experience             D．followed others’ examples

    2.The underlined word “intoxicating” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.

    A．exciting           B．disappointing       C．surprising         D．puzzling

    3.It can be inferred from the text that Lloyd Carr ________.

    A．was always free after retirement

    B．was a failure as a football coach

    C．missed the time when he coached

    D．enjoyed his retirement life very much

    4.The author is most probably ________.

    A．a football player                        B．Lloyd Carr’s assistant

    C．a retired coach                         D．a sports reporter
