French soccer player David Trezeguet holds the record for the fastest shot in a soccer match. It happened during a match between his club Juventus and England’s Manchester United in 1998.
At that time, he was unknown outside of French soccer. But nine years later, Trezeguet, 29, has become one of the world’s most famous strikers (前锋).
In September, 2007, he scored his 100th goal in the Italian League. “One hundred goals with Juventus, one of the greatest clubs in the world, that is important,” he said.
Although Trezeguet was born in France, he grew up in Argentina and he says his “Latin mentality” helped him become one of the world’s best soccer players.
“Most people in Argentina have to work hard for everything they want,” he explained. “This mentality gave me a hunger and an ambition (野心) to become the best.”
Trezeguet has had a great career. He has won nearly every major competition in soccer – the World Cup, the European Championships, the European Cup, as well as the French and Italian league titles.
But Trezeguet knows all about heartache too. In the French World Cup in 1998, after playing every match in the competition, he was not chosen to play in the final when France went on to win.
Then in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, his miss in the penalty shoot-out(点球大战) handed victory to Italy. But Trezeguet refuses to let this get him down.
“I accept my responsibility. It’s part of football,” he said. “You just have to move on and start thinking about focusing on the next thing.”

Billy Dengler, a 14-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. When he was born a month later, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.

Giraffes are the tallest animals of all. They have long legs and long necks. And a mother giraffe can grow to nearly five meters tall.
Giraffe skin is blotched(皮肤上的斑 ) in patterns（样式） of browns and yellows. No two have the same pattern.

Do you know why different animals or pests（害虫）have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the tree.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all.From the passage we can learn that locusts _______．
| A．are small animals |
| B．are easily found by birds |
| C．are dangerous to their enemies |
| D．change their colours to protect themselves |
Bears and lions can keep safe because they_______.
| A．have the colours much like the trees |
| B．move quickly |
| C．like brown and grey colours |
| D．live in forests |
Why can the fish mentioned in the last paragraph live up to now?
| A．Because it is very strong. |
| B．Because the liquid it sends out can help it get away from its enemies. |
| C．Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies. |
| D．Because it swims faster than any other fish. |
Which is the best title for this passage?
