    　　College sports, especially football and basketball, are a big industry．Nationally rated teams and television broadcast rights can be worth millions of dollars．

    　　This could be seen as a good deal all around．Colleges invest their players and, in return, the schools earn money and attention．The athletes often get free education, and they gain experience that might lead to a chance to play professionally．

    　　But critics question the morality(道德)of a situation where college athletes may seem valued more as athletes than as college students．They say that some players who finish college never really learn anything except their sport．

    　　The National Collegiate Athletic Association governs college sports in the United Strates．For the past few years, this organization has been increasing requirements for student athletes．That includes high school students who want to compete on division one teams-the top division college sports．

    　　College athletes are required to make continual progress toward earning their degree．New reforms aim to punish division one schools that do not graduate enough of their athletes．

    　　Yet finishing college is not always a goal for students who are good enough to play professionally．Is this short-team thinking? A sports career may not last very long, or lead to the wealth and fame that young players may dream of．

    　　Funs of American football may remember the retired New York Jets player Joe Namath．Last weekend, he graduated from the University of Alabama．He left that school forty-two years ago to play for the Jets．Now he is sixty-four．But he went back--in part, he says, because he had promised his mother to finish his education．

    　　China's astronaut, 38-year-old Yang Liwei returned safely to earth Thursday morning, when his craft Shenzhou V touched down as scheduled after more than 21 hours in the earth's orbit. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao called the landmark debut flight a “complete success”. The descent capsule (返回舱) carrying Lt. Col. Yang Liwei touched down on the grasslands of the Gobi Desert, in central Inner Mongolia at 6:23 a. m. Thursday (Beijing Time), the Beijing-based China's Aerospace Command and Control Center said. Minutes later, Yang grabbed the capsule hatch with his hand, pulled himself out, smiled and waved at recovery teams and reporters. “It is a splendid moment in the history of my motherland and also the greatest day of my life,” Yang, a former flight pilot from Northeast China's Liaoning Province, said immediately after emerging. In an interview with CCTV, China's state television, Yang said he was “feeling excellent”. Shenzhou V landed at dawn, 4.8 kilometres (3 miles) from its designed landing target, the officials said. “The spaceship operated well,” the astronaut Yang Liwei said in his first publicized comments. “I feel very good and I am proud of my motherland.” After a physical exam on spot, Yang's condition was found as “good”. Li Jinai, the commander of China's manned space program, called Yang a “space hero” and a “national hero”. Following Yang's touchdown China's premier Wen Jiabao immediately spoke to Yang from Beijing's Command and Control Centre and offered his congratulations.

    　　Within hours, Chinese space officials announced that the country's space dreams will continue with a “Shenzhou Ⅵ” mission, most possibly within a year. They said China also had worked out plans to conduct space walking by its astronauts, and eventually build up a space station. However, Chinese scientists ruled out building a space shuttle, like the United States.

    　　Yang's flight came four decades after the former Soviet Union and the United States pioneered manned spaceflight. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in April 1961. One month later, the United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr.

    1．What is true of the Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei?

    [　　]

    A．He is now a flight pilot.

    B．He was helped to get out of the descent capsule.

    C．He spent nearly a day in space.

    D．He was called a “space hero” and a “national hero” by China's premier Wen Jiabao.

    2．China will carry out the following space programs in the near future except ________.

    [　　]

    A．space walking

    B．setting up a space station

    C．building up a space shuttle

    D．sending up “Shenzhou Ⅵ”

    3．The underlined word debut means ________.

    [　　]

    A．first public appearance
    B．space
    C．carrying person
