From poor beginnings to most expensive player
ZINEDINE Zidane,who dreams of leading France to its second World Cup title in a row next month,has always preferred to express himself with a football rather than with words.
Last Wednesday Zidane scored the decisive goal when Real Madrid of Spain won the Champions League final against Germany's Leverkusen 2一1.
He became one of the world’s most expensive players when he joined Real Madrid from Italy's Juventus for US $ 66 million.And he has been a national hero since he scored twice in the 3-O defeat of Brazil in the 1998 World Cup Final.
But despite his success,Zidane has always kept his feet on the ground.He leads a quite family life,there is hardly any gossip about him and he avoids putting his wife and two children in the spotlight.
“Just because I'm a public figure it doesn't mean I have to express myself on everything.I don't like to discuss some personal matters publicly.”he said.
Even as a child playing football in the slum area of Marseille,France,where he was raised by his Algerian parents,Zidane was shy.
He loved football even as a little kid.“I realized football is a wonderful mixture of a sharp mind and hard training rather than just talking,”he said.
Even when the match awards were just chocolate and bread,Zidane found that football made his poor childhood rich.
Before he was 10 years old,it was obvious that he could become a great footballer.He was offered his first professional contract(合同)when he was just 20.Now,at the age of 29,he has already picked up two World Player of the year awards.
This quiet striker has not yet spoken of his hopes for the coming World Cup.But his fans across the world will be eagerly watching him to see what he'll do this time.
What did Zidane learn from his childhood football experience? He learned that_____________.
A.he could become a great footballer
B.he could become rich if he became a footballer
C.football is a mixture of a sharp mind and hard training but not just talking
D.football is a favorite sport in the future

A.He is a shy but successful man.
B.H e loves his wife and children.
C.He doesn't like to speak in public.
D.He is a quiet,down—to earth person of few words.

A.Zidane spends more time standing than sitting most days
B.Zidane is a down-to earth person
C.Zidane has spent most of his time training on the pitch
D.Zidane likes standing when he succeeds

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent camera team out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”
“No, Sir,” the men answered.
The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.
“Well,” one of the men answered, “we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards, Then it’ll look like a sunset.” “That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera team and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
The camera team went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, Sir,” they said, and give it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”
The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera team to stop. The birds in the film were flying backwards away from the beach.
One evening, the director sent his camera team out ______.
A. to watch a beautiful sunset.
