Passage 30

(河北省正定中学2010届高三上学期第五次月考)

A

　 　　 Whatever you call him, American swimmer Michael Phelps becomes a household name across the world after breaking the Olympic record for most gold medals in a single Games.　 Phelps’ total of eight gold medals in Beijing put him one ahead of the competitor Mark Spitz’s record in 1972.

　　 Michael Phelps dominated(支配)the field in seven of his races and set an amazing seven world records in the process. He did, however, have one close shave in the 100m butterfly which he won by just0.01 seconds, and in another he had to compete with a faulty pair of glasses.

　 　　 Now people are already calling him the greatest Olympian of all time. But whether he is or not, what is it that makes Michael Phelps so good?

　 　　 A good place to start might be his physique. Phelps has the perfect body shape for a swimmer. His arm span is longer than his height, he has very flexible joints, huge lungs, and his

incredibly large feet(size 14 in the US, size 49 in China)act like flippers in the water.

　 　　 To feed his huge swimmer’s body, Phelps eats an astonishing 12,00 calories a day, six times the average for a man of his age. According to his coach, Phelps starts with a breakfast of champions：Three fried egg sandwiches with cheese, tomatoes, fried onions, five egg pies, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast and three pancakes with chocolate chips.

　　 He then puts on a swimsuit which has been making waves in the world of swimming. Designed by NASA, the American space agency, the suit is made of a special material which is said to help athletes swim 2%faster.

　　 Michael Phelps should spare a thought for his mum, who first pushed him into swimming as a way of making friends, and who believed in him when one teacher said he would never be a success.

　 　　 Whatever the reason for his SUCCESS, Phelps admits there was perhaps also a bit of luck involving in winning his eight medals. “I guess eight is a lucky number for me, too, now. The opening ceremony started on 8／8／08. Maybe it was meant to be,” he said.

Passage 29

(甘肃省兰州一中2010届高三12月月考)

D

When Denis Hennequin took over as the European boss of McDonald's in January 2004, the world’s biggest restaurant chain was showing signs of recovery in America and Australia, but sales in Europe were sluggish or declining．One exception was France, where Mr．Hennequip．had done a reliable job as head on the group's French subsidiary(子公式) to sell more Big Macs to his relatives, His task was to copy this success in all 41 of the European countries where anti-globalisers’ favourite enemy operates．

So far Mr．Henncquin is doing well．Last year European sales increased by 5．8% and the number of customers by 3．4%, the best annual results in nearly 15 years．Europe accounted for 36% of the group's profits and for 28 of its sales．December was an especially good month as customers took to seasonal menu offerings in France and Britain, and to a promotion in Germany based on the game of Monopoly(垄断)．

Mr．Hennequin's recipe for revival(复兴) is to be more open about his company's operations, to be "locally relevant", and to improve the experience of visiting his 6.400 restaurants． McDonaId's is blamed for making people fat, exploiting workers, treating animals cruelly, polluting the environment． and simply for being American．Mr．Hennequin says he wants to engage in a dialogue with the public to address these concerns．

He introduced "open door" visitor days in each country which became hugely popular．In Poland alone some 50,000 visitors came to McDonaId's through the visitors' program last year．The Nutrition Information Initiative(倡议)．launched last year, put detailed Sables on McDonaId's packaging with data on calories, protein, fat, carbohy drates and salt content, "the details are also printed on tray-liners．

C

“S.H.E, is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival　 Party ,is that true?” cried out Peng Weiye , a senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard S.H.E. fan.

After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S.H.E.’s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about.

Last week S.H.E announced they would perform in Last Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on january15.

“I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank God, although my parents doesn’t understand why I love them so much,they still bought me a ticket for that show,” said Peng about the Shanghai performances.

It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have made audiences much excited. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Sigapore and Malaysia.

When the three high school girls entered a singing contests in Taiwan in 2000,none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. “We had never met before , and we didn’t talk at all at the beginning ,” recalled Ella.

When asked about the secret of their success, he said, “Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep up close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door,your singing sisters.”

“It’s really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(偶像).Nothing but magical .” he said.
