    “Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy – they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.” –– Jeff Bezos.

    I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.

    I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.

    After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.

    1.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?

    A. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.

    B. The support of his wife.

    C. His dream of being an inventor.

    D. Millions of exciting titles.

    2.We can know from the passage that _______.

    A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author

    B. the author might not regret if he failed the idea

    C. the author wanted someone else to try the idea

    D. the author might go back to his boss if he failed

    3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Cleverness and Kindness

    B. The Starting of Amazon

    C. We Are What We Choose

    D. Following My Passion

    Professional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their performance on the football ground, say dentists. Their study on players at eight clubs in England and Wales, in the British Journal o f Sports Medicine, showed nearly 4 out of 10 had cavities （蛀牙) and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population. Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation.

    The dentists, from the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, examined 187 players' sets of teeth. They found 53% had dental erosion (腐蚀), 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said it affected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, compared with 30% of people of a similar age in the general population.

    Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said: "These are individuals who otherwise invest so much in themselves so it’s a surprising finding.

    "There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very serious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train.

    "There Il be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they take a drink. "

    At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling.

    Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foods during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection.

    While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental health and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicine and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease prevention for athletes and clubs.

    1. What does the passage tell us about professional footballers teeth?

    A. Nearly 4 out of 10 players in the UK suffer from toothaches.

    B. They have been invested a great deal by individual players.

    C. Many players' poor teeth bother their career and daily life.

    D. British footballers teeth are examined regularly.

    2.What mainly results in professional footballers' poor teeth?

    A. Experiencing too much training.

    B. Eating food with too much sugar.

    C. Breathing in lots of air during exercise.

    D. Having little education of oral disease prevention.

    3. These findings are worrying clubs because____.

    A. footballers aren’t willing to give up sugary or acidic food

    B. they've spent much on their players' oral disease prevention

    C. footballers have more serious tooth problems than the public

    D. players' oral disease may lead to bad performance in games

    4. This passage is most probably taken from____.

    A. a dentist's diary B. a sports newspaper

    C. a medicine magazine D. a science report
