with a win in the 4×100-meter medley relay.
The victory gave Phelps his eighth gold medal of the Beijing Olympics, the most golds ever won by an
athlete at one Games. With gold No. 8, Phelps earned a singular place in the Olympic record books.

Tiger Woods.

scholarships (奖学金). The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy,
a small school on Manhattan"s West Side.
At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who
already gained his fames as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly.
As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a
basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor
was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an
undefeated season.
From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches (对方教练) used to take their teams quickly
away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than
they had to. Wearing size 16 D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by
starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight
of the fans.
When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly.
He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable
talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following
him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape,
Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. "People want you not for yourself,"
Donohue warned him, "but because you"re a basketball player. Don"t forget that."
B. he was hardworking
C. he was tall for his age
D. he was skillful at playing basketball .
B. tall, skillful and successful
C. kind, powerful and undefeated
D. well-known, strict and experienced
B. Their teams feared to see Alcindor.
C. Their teams would lose courage.
D. Their teams would lose interest.
B. How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters.
C. Why the press followed Alcindor closed.
D. Why the public wanted Alcindor badly
Not only did Paul Zindel win a Pulitzer Prize as well as an Obie Prize for his 1970 play The Effect of
Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, but be was one of the earliest writers in the field of
contemporary (当代的) literature for young adults (成人). The Pigman, published in 1968, is still one of
the most well-known and widely-taught novels in the genre. The American Library Association has named

for Young Adults, and most of his recent horror books-such as The Doom Stone and Rats-have been
chosen as Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. Clearly, he was a writer who knew how to
interest contemporary children. Recognizing that, the American Library Association in 2002 honored Paul

presented with the ALAN Prize for his contributions to Young Adult Literature. With his passing, young
