　　The first morning I awoke in the house where Cathy Freeman once lived－in Miller Street, Richmond, an inner city suburb of Melbourne, my eyes caught upon a black and white sticker, with a name and number on it, pasted(粘贴)to a mirror beside the bed．The number and word were “48.60, Atlanta”．Cathy had typed the famous prediction(预言)on a sticker ages before the 1996 Olympic Games, as an affirmation(断言)of the time she wanted to run in the 400m final．

　　Cathy thought she was typing the time that black French woman, the pretty MarieJose Perec, had run to win the 400m gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992．She believed she’d have to aim to run at least that fast in Atlanta but she got it wrong．Perec ran slower, 48.83 seconds in Barcelona．But what matter? The power of the mind!In Atlanta Cathy ran what she typed, or near enough, 48.63．To gaze(注视)at that time, still there, to see her grand ambition(抱负)－it was then a whole second faster than she had run before－was to become history．As I stood there I saw her once more in slow motion, in Atlanta, pushing herself to the edge, and beyond．Above the number was another sticker with the words “World’s Greatest Athlete”．They were the words Cathy had copied from an old sticker that her mother had given her as a teenager, a legend(座右铭)to paste on her bedroom wall to flow into her daughter’s mind, and it had worked．

(1)

When did Cathy write “48.60, Atlanta”?
[　　]
A．	Sometime between 1992 and 1996．
B．	Before 1992．
C．	After 1996．
D．	When she was a teenager．

(2)

What was Cathy’s time for the 400m final in the 1996 Olympic Games?
[　　]
A．	48.63 seconds．
B．	48.83 seconds．
C．	48.60 seconds．
D．	49.63 seconds．

(3)

What did Cathy get wrong?
[　　]
A．	Perec’s speed at the Atlanta Olympic Games．
B．	Perec’s speed at the Barcelona Olympic Games．
C．	Her own speed at the Barcelona Olympic Games．
D．	Whether she would run faster than Perec．

(4)

What is the closest explanation of the sentence her grand ambition(抱负)－it was then a whole second faster than she had run before－was to become his-tory?
[　　]
A．	She hoped to realize her dream to run faster than that time．
B．	Her ambition to run a whole second faster than she had run before came true．
C．	To run a second faster than she had run before was only history．
D．	It is her ambition to run a whole second faster than she had run before．

(5)

Cathy’s achievement results from many factors(因素)except ________．
[　　]
A．	her beauty
B．	her mother’s help
C．	her ambition
D．	hard work

With tears　 __54__　 from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Just because someone doesn't love you　 __55__　 you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul.
