    　　James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves．His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9．There, a school teacher asked the youth his name．

    　　“J．C．,”he replied．

    　　She thought he had said“Jesse”, and he had a new name．

    　　Owens ran his first race at age 13．After high school, he went to Ohio State University．He had to work part time so as to pay for his education．As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later．

    　　A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs．His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet．He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event．He did try, and the results are in the record book．

    　　The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political．Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners．

    　　“It was all right with me,”he said years later．“I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway．”

    　　Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either．In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death．

    　　Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him．He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs．

    　　“Sure, it bothered me,”he said later．“But at least it was an honest living．I had to eat．”

    　　In time, however, his gold medals changed his life．“They have kept me alive over the years,”he once said．“Time has stood still for me．That golden moment dies hard．”

    Roger Conner is a modern­-day Horatio Alger hero. Roger started out as an unpaid worker in a small flower shop. He has become the owner of a florist company whose sales are well over $100 000 a year.

    One day when Roger was only twelve, he stopped at a local flower shop. He asked the owner if he could work for him, without pay, in order to learn the business. Roger started working every day after school and on weekends. After two years on the job, he finally asked for a small salary. The owners told him he “wasn't good enough to be paid.” So he quit, and found a paying job at another local flower shop. He worked hard there, but after six months they laid him off because business was slow.

    Not discouraged, Roger decided to do it alone and started his own flower store in a basement in his town. He started his business with only sixty­-five dollars. He bought old refrigerators at garage sales and knocked the shelves out. This turned them into coolers for his fresh­-cut flowers. His business grew rapidly as he built up a reputation for top quality and fine service.

    In 1977, Roger bought out the flower store where he had worked without pay for over two years. The people who said he “wasn’t good enough to be paid” were astonished to find that they were being taken over by a teenager. He had plans to renovate (振兴) the whole store.

    One of the reasons the owners sold out to Roger was that the store wasn't doing well. But after Roger took over ownership and redid the store, business started booming. In fact, business was so good that after one year, he celebrated by buying out the other store where he had worked. Roger then combined both stores and moved to a location in the center of his town.

    The new store has 2 000 square feet and seven employees. And he did it all before he reached the age of twenty.

    President Barack Obama set out his plans for the nation on January 27. At the top of his to-do list: his jobs for Americans, health care and education.

    “Although we have our difficulties, our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not stop,” President Barack Obama told American in his State of the Union speech on January 27. Guests and government officials filled the hall of the House of Representatives (众议院).

    Obama looked back on his first year in office and explained his plan for the future. He dealt with important matters, including health care, the nation’ s high unemployment, national security (安全) and education. Many times during the 70-minute speech, people in the hall clapped (拍手) their hands happily.

    The U.S. law system requires the President to report regularly to government officials. Presidents see the speech as an opportunity to set their goals and encourage the nation.

    The President devoted much of his speech to the plight of unemployed (失业的) Americans. “Jobs must be our Number 1 focus (焦点) in 2010,” he said. “People are out of work. They are hurting.” Obama also stressed the value of education. “The best way for people to lead a better life is a first-class education.” he told the nation.

    Following the President’s speech, the other party always gets the chance to speak. Bob McDonnell, the new governor of Virginia, spoke for Republicans (共和党人). He agreed with many of Obama’s goals, but pointed out policy difference. He tried to persuade both parties to work together. The President had made the same point earlier in the evening. He promised to hold monthly meetings with members of both parties. “Let’s show the American people,” he said, “that we can do it together.”

    1.It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that Obama’s speech on January 27 __________.

    A．was made to explain his plan for the future

    B．was welcomed by the government officials present

    C．was given to ask for foreign help

    D．was actually boring

    2.The underlined word “plight” in para. 5 probably means __________.

    A．education

    B．safety

    C．goal

    D．sadness

    3.Which of the following things does Obama consider the most important in 2010?

    A．Health care.

    B．Jobs.

    C．Education.

    D．National security.

    4.We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.

    A．Republicans don’ t agree with Obama’ s goals

    B．Obama will try to cooperate with the other party

    C．Bob McDonnell was not clear about the two parties’ policy differences

    D．Republicans thought it difficult for the two parties to work together
